SCOPE OF USE
For discoloration-proof fixing of bright and translucent
marble and other natural stone slabs and tiles using the
1 thin- and medium-bed method, also on heated screeds.
For fixing ceramic earthenware and stoneware tiles.
For repairing and levelling any unevenness up to
approx. 8 mm prior to laying slabs/tiles.
