TA C-3 Advanced

High polymer Modified Cementatious Tile or Stone Adhesive

Grey cement-based, high-performance, high-strength adhesive for fixing tiles/stones. The set adhesive is water-resistant and suitable for use in wet areas like swimming pools and water bodies. TA C3 Advanced Grey is ideal for fixing vitrified tiles, industrial-grade tiles, and natural stones on walls/floors in interior/exterior situations up to 6mm bed thickness (can be extended up to 12 mm in areas of limited extent).

Features

Very high bond strength.
Non-slip .
Water resistant.
Easy mixing, smooth application & better workability.
Enhanced flexibility & adhesion can be obtained with the addition of ADMIX AD1 (latex additive).
