Features:

•  MICROTEC fibre reinforced for high performance
•  Semi-pourable consistency ideal for solid bed fixing large format floor tiles
•  Achieves an open time of up to 60 minutes, double that of ‘E’ classified adhesives
•  Ideal for all tile types including porcelain, fully vitrified, mosaics and terrazzo
•  High yield
•  Suitable for floors with underfloor heating

• ARDEX X 78 is ideal for fixing fully vitrified or porcelain tiles and other tiles with low porosity, as well as glass and porcelain mosaics and terrazzo.
• The BS EN 12004 C2 E designation for ARDEX X 78 classifies the adhesive as an ‘improved, cementitious adhesive with extended open time characteristics’.
• The additional characteristics for ARDEX X 78 determined in accordance with BS EN 12004 are a tensile adhesion strength of greater than 1 N/mm² adhesion value, greater than 1 N/mm² after water immersion, greater than 1 N/mm² after heat aging and greater than 1 N/mm² after freeze thaw cycling, making this product suitable for internal and external situations, including swimming pools. The mixed mortar has an easily workable, semi-pourable consistency to facilitate large format floor tile fixing.
• ARDEX X 78 adheres strongly to most construction materials such as concrete, cement and sand screeds, heated sub-floors, anhydrite screeds, and existing ceramic tiled surfaces.
