Match the intended use to the grade, process conditions and technical documentation.
GRADE SELECTION
Choose a grade for your process.
Use these criteria to start a technical discussion. Numerical specifications and dosage must come from the grade documentation and application trials.
Request TDS, SDS & analysis →- Slip resistance
- Evaluate using the weight and dimensions of the intended tile or component.
- Consistency and workability
- Balance resistance to flow at rest with ease of spreading.
- Additive interaction
- Test the combination with cellulose ether and redispersible polymer powder.
