TE-105 NCL Tilostik Grey White Tile Adhesive, 20 kg

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.). �� Technical Specs & Suitable Use (as per NCL's data) 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. ✅ Advantages / What It's Good For 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. ⚠️ What to Keep in Mind / When to Use Carefully 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.
