Tilemaster Ditra And Anhyfix

[J Sid]

I can't understand why Schlutter won't recommend an adhesive for sticking down Ditra to a dry screed like they do with af200 on ply. I've fitted thousands of metres of stuck down carpets direct to screeds and believe me when I tell you they stick like sh*t, you try pulling up a needle punch carpet that's been stuck down, you have to cut it into 4-6 inch strips, use a clamp and pull with all you've got to get it up, so I can't get why you can't stick Ditra to a screed with an acrylic adhesive 😡

I asked Schluter about this on the phone and they told me categorically no, hence my post

By no means I'm I claiming to be an expert about it, I'd just like a definitive answer from Schluter, in my opinion there's no comparison with the 'grab' of acrylic vs cemitisious on fleece like materials

All i can see is a batch number which is 24021605

Could that be 24th Feb '16? Batch number 5? All the tilemaster products I've used have a production date on them.

What do you use on screed then Julian? I'd respect your opinion.

I find with Anhyfix you need to let it slake & add a bit more water when you remix it.
It's a great adhesive to use.

"Slake"? Is that a Scottish thing?

Official term for letting it stand for 5 minutes before you do your final mix.
It's Defo not a Scottish term.

I am using Anhyfix to fit 300sqm of Ditra onto anhydrite screed.
I found it to be brilliant - stickiest powder adhesive I've ever used.
Schluter said NO to using it as they've not tested it in the labs but I know it's a winner.
