It is suitable for use over many different surfaces, timber (indoor), fibre cement sheets, concrete etc.
Advantages
- Selection additive gives good adhesion and does not peel off
- Easy-to-use
- With appropriate tile adjustment time
- Tile immersion in water not required before installation
Applications
- Suitable for medium and high water absorption tiles for indoor applications, as both floor and wall tiles.

Coverage Rates
1 bag of INSEE SANSTHA TILE MORTAR can cover an area of approximately 60sqft depending on tile adhesive thickness and deflection of substrate and tiles.
Mixing Ratio
By weight, 25kg (1 bag) of INSEE SANSTHA TILE MORTAR per 6-7 ltrs of clean water. The mixed tile adhesive must be used within 1 hour. Keep away from sunlight and hot conditions.
Packaging
25 kg/bag
Instructions
- Use the flat side of a square notch trowel to apply tile adhesive onto the prepared substrate. Try to apply no more than 1sq m each time. Then use the notched side of the trowel to comb the surface
- Remove dust and debris from tiles. Do not immerse tiles in water.
- Spread tile adhesive in a thin layer to the back of the tiles to reduce air pockets underneath, fix the deflection, and ensure appropriate bond between tile and substrate.
- Place tiles onto tile adhesive bed and align edges. Place a rubber hammer or trowel handle end to release air under the tiles to ensure appropriate bond and avoid air pockets.
- The mixed tile adhesive should be used within pot life. Do not add additional water or tile adhesive powder to adjust workability or extend pot life, as it would result in quality loss.
- months from manufacture date.
