NCL Tilostik -TE 105 Tile Adhesive

91 000 74051 NCL Tilostik is a cement-based, polymer-modified thin-bed tile adhesive from NCL Buildtek. It's distributed as a dry-powder adhesive. On-site you simply add water (single-pack system) and mix — no need for custom cement-sand mixes. It is meant for fixing tiles (ceramic, vitrified, certain stones) and is suitable for both wall and floor applications on leveled, prepared substrates (concrete, screed, cement plaster, etc.). Color / appearance: Grey (or white version depending on supply) dry powder. Mixing with water — roughly 25–30% water by weight is recommended for proper consistency. Pot life / working time: ~ 180 minutes after mixing (gives you sufficient time for application) Bed thickness (adhesive layer): minimum ~ 3 mm, can vary depending on tile size and job requirements. Open time (time you have to adjust tiles after placing adhesive): > 20 minutes (at ~25 °C) — gives flexibility during installation. Coverage (approx): For a 3 mm bed thickness — stated as > 3 sqft per kg (so a 20 kg bag covers significantly, though actual depends on trowel size, tile size, substrate condition). Time to traffic (after which you can walk / grout / use floor): ~ 24 hours after laying. Because it's polymer-modified and premixed, it gives a strong, reliable bond — better and more consistent than traditional cement-sand mortar mixing onsite. It helps avoid "hollowness" (voids or air-gaps under tiles) even under stone or compact tiles, giving a solid, stable finish for floors. Versatile — usable for interior and exterior applications, on walls and floors, on various cementitious substrates (plaster, screed, concrete) — good for residential and commercial / renovation jobs. Because of consistent factory-prepared mix, it reduces labor, wastage, and variation compared to manual mortar mixes — convenient for faster tile installation. The substrate (floor/wall surface) must be clean, level, stable, free of dust/oil/loose particles for good adhesion (as with any tile adhesive). While advertised for "tiles and stones", performance will depend on tile/stone type — make sure tile porosity / size / weight is within what Tilostik is suitable for (moderate to normal-size tiles, not extremely heavy slabs). Use proper trowel notch size (as recommended by installer) and apply adhesive evenly for full bed coverage to avoid weak bonding or hollow spots.
