Ditra on Anhydrite

[Mark@Tilemaster]

Its no problem sticking to the fleece back Peter. Tilemaster AnhyFix is ready for launch in 2 weeks time and our adhesion strengths are in keeping with a C2 rated cement based adhesive which is very encouraging.

When using our product with an uncoupling membrane, absolutely no reason for any concerns!

Any primer required.. ? ...

 

[Mark@Tilemaster]

Strictly speaking no David because the AnhyFix is 100% compatible with anhydrite/calcium sulphate screeds.

We are recommending, however, one coat of primer, diluted with 3 parts water. The reason being to reduce porosity and remove dust, no other reason. For the same reasons you would prime a concrete or sand/cement screed prior to tiling.

Nice one... i await having a look at the new adhesive....


I take it is ok with wet heating etc, which is associated with these pourable screeds.. also have you any spec PDF on it yet.?

 

[Mark@Tilemaster]

It is, all UFH systems. We will have the end product ready early next week so we can supply samples David if its of interest. Tech data sheet I just need to finalise.

Anybody else wanting samples of AnhyFix please say and i'll make the arrangements.

Me please...... 🙂

 

[DHTiling]

Yes please... i will try some... will be very interesting to try it.. these gypsum adhesive are great for wall tiling as well to newly skimmed walls as gypsum to gypsum is the best compatibility IMO.

 

[DHTiling]

Saying that.. i take it is gypsum based or is it like Kerakoll h40 which is a friendly adhesive but dries by dispersion..?

Yes please, I was talking to Widerange Tiles about this very subject recently. They are pushing epoxy primer and SPF adhesive, but when I explained that in a real world where you would have to give 2 coats of primer over the required drying times. It would be easier to use the more expensive gypsum based adhesive and get the job done quicker. Obviously it depends on the size of the areas to be tiled.
They had asked if I had used it yet as I believe they have been talking to yourself about it.
So again yes please to the samples and Widerange will hold them for me . Thanks
