Kerakol h40 Eco Ideal

[kaharrison9]

Hi There.

A local supplier has just started stocking the Keracol H40 Eco Ideal.

It's big attraction is it's use on anhydrite screeds.

Has anybody had a bash with it and what there thoughts were.

How it combed,stayed in the bucket,did they prime,etc.

Possibly using it on a wet ufh anhydrite 155m2 floor coming up and don't want a pallet of some 'difficult' adhesive.

Cheers

Kevin

Not tried it Kev but there are a few negative posts on the forum about it if the floor is sanded and dried out just prime it well and use a good qaulity spf ,i thought you and Rob were Benfer men they do an ahydrite adhesive

I used it just under 2 yrs back and it failed to set ... IMHO it's a bag of crap.. and ZERO back up from kerakoll.. i was left to clean the job up and re-lay membrane... be very careful of the info supplied by reps that know bot all...

It is basicly a dispersion adhesive in powder form, hence why it is friendly for anhydrite..

I've used the n c gypfix up to know and fingers crossed not a problem.

Have heard the odd distant grumble about Benfer gyps and it's not stocked local.

Do like to hear about new products that i can get hold of locally at least to have as a back up. i.e. n c gypfix selling out for about 6 weeks recently.

It's quite a dillema wether to try something new though.

Can't find my post about that job but here is another one where back up service from kerakoll was appalling.. http://www.tilersforums.com/tile-ad...ation/34827-kerakoll-rep-ran-mile-warned.html


Like i said, nearly 2 years since my job and i have still not heard a thing from Bill @ kerakoll.. saying why it failed.. you could not give me pallets of it imo..

now then gary

benfer gyps is not a flexi so no good over gypsum on wet ufh (as you know mate)

I have been using n and c gypfix to lay ditra then benfer cement c2 on the ditra to tile.

personaly i am sick and tired of tight customers who wont entertain my advice re gypsum over wet ufh, and stupid screed pourers who just lay the stuff with no regard or briefing to the client.

I'm looking into issues with a screed at the moment in East York.

The screeder is Screed Flow Ltd from Hull.

H40 Ideal would be an ideal solution for fixing with. Also you can have a full site specification written from your local kerakoll representative. This will take the any worry you have out of the job.

Hi John.

If there is a problem or failure after a full site specification from the local rep would Kerakoll accept responsibility.

This isn't aimed just at Kerakoll i would ask other reps as well.
