Kerakoll Adhesives.. and Ideal H40

?? lost me Dave

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:.

Hi Dave,
Sorry for the delay in replying, ironically I have been in Italy! Hope it all goes well with the H40 Eco Ideal, and no problem with the samples. You are right when you say that H40 Ideal is a special cement which allows fixing directly to the anhydrite and//or plaster if onto walls. Because of this there is no formation of ettrignite which is what occurs with conventional cement based adhesives causing debonding.
