PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Mosaic
ABC TILE ADHESIVE Heavy-Duty is a is a cement-based adhesive designed for below 30 x 30cm 3mm (Thin bed)
bonding all types of tiles for floor & wall tile installations. Application areas include indoor & Small
outdoor concrete surfaces using the thinbed method. ABC TILE ADHESIVE HEAVY-
DUTY is primarily used for low porosity tiles, glass mosaic tiles, stoneware & Medium 60 x 60cm & below 6mm (Medium bed)
all types of large format tiles. It is highly recommended for outdoor tiling,
pool & water features & all heavy-foot traffic areas. Large above 60 x 60cm 10mm (Thick bed)
