Laticrete 73 Latex Crete Admix (20 L)

91 000 74051 LATICRETE 73 Crete Admix is a liquid latex-based admixture that replaces water when mixing Portland-cement + sand mortars or adhesive powders. When used instead of water, it produces a polymer-fortified mortar or adhesive with superior flexibility, adhesion, and strength compared to conventional cement-sand mortar. Combined with a compatible cementitious powder (e.g. LATICRETE 111 or 211 series), 73 Crete Admix results in a high-performance tile/stone adhesive or thin-bed mortar, suitable for demanding installations. ✅ Key Features & Benefits Stronger bond & better adhesion: Mortars made with 73 Crete Admix bond more strongly to substrates than regular cement-sand mixes — important for secure installations of tiles, vitrified tiles, natural stone, mosaics, etc. Increased flexibility and impact/shock resistance: The polymer-modified mortar can better absorb movement, stresses, thermal expansion/contraction — reducing risk of cracks or de-bonding. Suitable for wet & dry applications, interior & exterior: Works well in bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, terraces, swimming pools, fountains — anywhere tile or stone needs to adhere reliably, even in presence of moisture or water. Non-flammable & easy to use: As a liquid admixture, 73 Crete Admix is non-flammable and replaces water straightforwardly — simplifying mixing and improving reliability of results vs. inconsistent on-site cement-sand mixes. Certified and standards-compliant when used with compatible powder: The system (73 Crete Admix + cement-based powder) meets standards such as EN 12004 "C2 TE" for tile adhesives — �� Typical Use & Application 73 Crete Admix is used in place of water when mixing Portland cement + sand mortars or cement-adhesive powders. It's ideal for producing thin-bed tile adhesives (for ceramic tiles, vitrified tiles, natural stone, mosaics), or polymer-modified mortar beds/adhesives for floors and walls, indoors or outdoors. Works well on a variety of substrates: concrete, cement mortar beds/plasters/ screeds, brick/concrete masonry, cement backer boards, cement renders — depending on substrate suitability. Also suitable for wet areas and submerged applications — such as swimming pools, fountains, balconies, wet-area floors — . �� Technical / System Data (When Used With Compatible Powder) Property / SpecDetails / Notes Usage Latex admixture replacing water in cement-sand or cementitious powder mixes System Rating (with matching powder) Meets EN 12004 C2 TE standard (i.e. high-performance, latex-modified adhesive) Application Types Floor/wall tile & stone installation — interior & exterior, dry or wet areas, normal or heavy traffic, submerged use (pools etc.) Safety / Handling Non-flammable; easier and safer to handle than some solvent-based admixtures Coverage / Mixing Note Follow manufacturer instructions — mixing ratio depends on powder type, substrate and project needs.
