765 ECOLIGHT

765

Environmentally friendly, dust-free and lightweight powder tile adhesive for bonding ceramic wall and floor tiles, as well as dark-coloured natural stone, on almost all cement-based substrates such as concrete, sand-cement screeds, underfloor heating constructions, etc. Very suitable for stone strips and large-format wall tiling and use in wet areas and outdoor applications. Thanks to EMICODE EC 1PLUS (very low emission) also suitable for BREEAM projects.

    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 
    • Moisture- and frost-resistant 
    • For in- and outdoor use
    • For wall and floor  

  • Performances
    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. Emicode EC 1PLUS tested conform to EN 13999-2/4. Suitable for BREEAM projects.
    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. During bonding of the adhesive the temperature during day and night must be > 5 ˚C.
    Dust factor : < 5% components with a particle of < 2 µm(micrometer)
  • 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 or 733 Superior S2.
    • For glass mosaic or light coloured natural use 711 Uniflex or 681 Marmercol.

  • Working Process
    Open time : Place the tiles within 15 to 20 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. During bonding of the adhesive the temperature during day and night must be > 5 ˚C.
    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. 
    • When using the adhesive outdoors apply 740 Isoflex 2K. 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.
    • Press the tiles within 15 - 20 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 , 4x4 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 0.7 kg/m²
    Spreader , 6x6 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 1.1 kg/m²
    Spreader , 8x8 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 1.5 kg/m²
    Spreader , 10x10 mm : Spreading capacity approx. 2 kg/m²
