Yeah I saw that too, early days for these products.

 

[hmtiling]

Did it give any more info? As in if it's a system like the other one or just an adhesive?

Gave it a quick read but I think it' a couple of primers then normal adhesive ( cement based I think ) . Talking to a codex rep once and they are not keen on gypsum adhesives .

 

[Flintstone]

Is that because they don’t sell one?

I still want to know what happens to all that moisture which gets stuck under the primers with these type of systems...

Very slow controlled release out of the surface and through the grout, mark

How is that going to work with a topical sealer on stone . Norcross couldn't really give me a satisfactory answer when I saw their reps back a while

 

[Flintstone]

Through the grout?. I suspect these products haven’t been put through there paces with all materials and situations.

Not with a topical sealer it will trap moisture in . Perhaps @Lithofin BOB can confirm or deny this.

This has been around for a while now. Norcross also do one called pro gypbase

It will escape eventually but is effectively trapped. These systems work by changing the nature of the screed surface making it harder and stronger so that it is not affected by the moisture. They also prevent the migration of moisture borne sulphates so are not prone to ettringite failure. I have not seen this one used personally but the norcross system works exceptionaly well and has been approved for use on GYPSOL screed which is the UK leading anhydrite screed by a long way.
