Kerakoll Adhesives.. and Ideal H40

[DHTiling]

Just want to say a BIG!! Thanks to Bill from KeraKoll adhesives..


He came up trumps with some Ideal H40 adhesive for me to use in the morning on an Anhydrite screed( GyvlonLL) job i am doing..

He sent me 5 bags to do the first phase( Bathroom floor 27 mtrs) to try out and see what it is like..then i move onto the other 170 mtrs... So again Bill a big thanks..

That is great service..IMO..

5 bags wont do 27m2 if you are solid bedding will it? I would have thought it would be 10 even on a super flat screed

Used their slow set white flexi last month. When I saw it, I thought.....ohhhhhh!!! BUT it was lovely stuff, mixed well and did what it said on the bag. I'll stick with Mapei & Webber though!

But saying that Gary.. the Ideal H40 is 25 kg bags as well.. so remember folks they are bigger bags and go a long way..

it would be a good idea if some can up with a litmuss paper type test for anhydrite screeds to see if they were ready for tiling as I am never sure and always end up leaving them far longer than I guess they need to dry

Carbide bomb is the better method.

It is just a test of the screed.. This is a gas-pressure test method in which a small sample of screed is removed and placed in a test vessel where moisture in the screed reacts with calcium carbide crystals to create acetylene gas. The gas pressure produced is measured to provide a moisture content reading of the screed sample,expressed as a percentage of moisture.

All this will be explained on the Gyvlon training day on the 25 October for those that want to attend..

Am I correct in assuming that you will use the Gypsum adhesive for the decoupler and then a normal spf for tiling onto the mat, Dave?

Correct..

Well H40 is Cement based but not portland cement and is Friendly to Gypsum... again this adhesive is discussed at the training day.

As previously mentioned, I have a couple of Gyvlon screeds to tile (approx 250sqm in total) so I'm looking closely at all the adhesive options at the moment. It's just a shame that getting to County Durham is too much of a trek for me. :incazzato:.

At least I have a dialogue with Ajax, just need to make friends with Bill now :smilewinkgrin:.
