3 Product Description
A lightweight, medium bed, rapid-setting mortar. This technologically
advanced mortar offers high-performance and flexibility designed to
meet the rigors of setting large format tile and stone for fast track
commercial or residential installations. Capable of thin-set or medium
bed application up to 3/4" (19 mm) thick on horizontal surfaces after
beat-in. Adjustments allowed, yet it will set quickly, allowing the
grouting process to begin in under 3 hours with light traffic in 4 hours.
One part formula with no need for a separate liquid additive to
improve bond strength, flexibility or performance. Excellent open time
and adjustability. Non-slump performance for floor installations.
