Product Typification

Enviromentally friendly, dust reduced and lightweight cement-based tile adhesive.
Basis : Cement-based powder with a high synthetic binder content, recycled raw materials and lightweight fillers to be mixed with water.
Colour : Grey.
Consistency : Powder.

Product advantages:
  • Very low emission
  • Emicode EC 1PLUS
  • Lightweight and excellent to apply    
  • Very good firm ability
  • Dust reduced
  • Contains > 30% recycled raw materials
  • Favourable open time
  • Flexible according to NEN-EN 12002
  • Moisture- and frost-resistant according to NEN-EN 12004   
  • For in- and outdoor use
  • For wall and floor  

Performances

Aging : 765 Eurolight does not deteriorate with age.
Classification : C2TE according to NEN EN 12004 and S1 according to NEN EN 12002. A flexible cement-based tile adhesive with an increased flow resistance and an extended open time. 765 Ecolight is according to the NIBE in Bussum assessed as very good choice and bears the DUBOKEUR. Emicode EC 1PLUS tested conform to EN 13999-2/4. Suitable for BREEAM.
Consumption : Depending on the smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile.
Curing : Minimum 24 hours, depending on the subfloor and temperature. Lower temperatures will slow down the drying time.
Dust factor : < 5% components with a particle of < 2 µm(micrometer)

Application

Application:
  • Enviromentally friendly, dust reduced cement-based tile adhesive for fixing ceramic wall- and floor tiles, as well dark-coloured natural stone, on almost all cement-based surfaces e.g. concrete, cement screed underfloor heating systems etc.
  • Very suitable for fixing brick slips and large measurements ceramic wall- and floor tiles and in so-called wet areas and outdoor applications.
  • For extreme applications like swimming pools and terraces use specific developed adhesives like 705 Watertight Tile Adhesive. For glass mosaic or light coloured natural use 711 Uniflex or 681 Marmercol.

Working Process

Open time : Place the tiles within 20 to 30 minutes into the wet adhesive, depending on the subfloor and temperature.
Mixing ratio : Add 15 kg 765 Ecolight to 8 (wall application) or 9 (floor application) litres of water.
Waiting time : After mixing with water wait for a few minutes, stir once again and apply the mixture on the subfloor.
Application temperature : From 5° to 25 °C (temperature of the surrounding as well as the subfloor).
Processing time : Apply the mixture within 90 minutes.
Curing : Minimum 24 hours, depending on the subfloor and temperature. Lower temperatures will slow down the drying time.
Storage : Store cool and dry in unopened packaging.
Shelf Life : 12 Months, in unopened packaging. After use close the open packaging well.

* The mentioned values have been established in our laboratory and must be considered as guidelines in view of possible variations in climatic circumstances, subfloor compositions and layer thickness.

Consumption:
Depending on the smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile.


Substrate:
  • The subfloor must have a good tensile and compression strength. The subfloor should also be smooth, dry and free from grease, dirt and dust, according to the requirements of DIN 18 352.
  • When using the adhesive outdoors apply two layers of 730 Isoflex. Also remove all old ceramic finishing. 
  • Prime moisture-sensitive, absorbent subfloors such as plaster stucco with 099 Dispersion Primer and apply 685 Eurocoat to attain an impervious layer between the tile adhesive and subfloor .
  • Degrease absorbent subfloors such as existing tile work with 014 Euroclean. After that completely dry the subfloor. Afterwards prime with 051 Europrimer Quartz.
  • For self-levelling anhydrite floors use our 725 Alphycol. 
  • In advance always seek our technical data sheets. In doubt about the application ask for technical advice. 


User manual:
  • Add 15 kg of 765 Ecolight to approx. 8 (wall application) to 9 (floor application) litres of cool and clean tap water and stir the mortar for a few minutes, by using an electric (Eurocol 855) stirrer (approx. 600 rpm), to a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
  • After stirring wait for a few minutes, stir once again and apply the adhesive on the subfloor with the recommended adhesive spreader (see spreading capacity/notched spreader).
  • Press the tiles within 20 - 30 minutes with a shuffling movement into the adhesive. Check regularly to ensure that the back of the tile is in full contact with the adhesive. Remove excess adhesive immediately from the joints.
  • Apply the mixed adhesive within approx. 90 minutes. Do not add extra water to the bonding mortar!
  • Under normal circumstances, i.e. a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65%, the joints may be filled after approx. 24 hours. 

Spreading capacity/notched spreader for powder tile adhesives:

The smoothness of the subfloor and type of tile are determining for the adhesive spreader to be used. Selection of the notched spreader should be made in such way that a minimum adhesive contact of 80% is guaranteed (equally divided over the back of the tile). For outdoor purposes this contact must be 100%. Also counts for heavy-duty indoor floors, e.g. store and warehouse floors. Check the adhesive contact regularly.

Spreader no. 19, 4x4 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 0.7 kg/m²
Spreader no. 12, 6x6 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 1.1 kg/m²
Spreader no. 13, 8x8 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 1.5 kg/m²
Spreader no. 14, 10x10 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 2 kg/m²
