SpECtite ETA

SpECtite ETA is designed to provide permanent fixing for ceramic tiles where a hygienic, chemically resistant and waterproof adhesive is required. SpECtite ETA is designed as an impervious, high strength adhesive and grouting material offering excellent chemical resistance.

The product is recommended for wall and floor tiling where hygiene is of paramount importance, particularly food processing areas, swimming pools and hospital applications.

SpECtite ETA should be used in critical situations where traditional cementitious adhesives are inappropriate particularly in aggressive environments.

SpECtite ETA has good resistance to commonly encountered dilute acids, alkalis, salts, oils and fats.

• Excellent adhesion even in immersed conditions
• Hygienic – will not encourage bacterial growth
• Excellent application characteristics
• Excellent chemical resistance

Surface Preparation
The substrate must be clean and dust free. All contaminants such as friable material, grease and oil should be removed completely.

Mixing
SpECtite ETA is supplied as a two-component pack consisting of a base component and a curing agent.

The total contents of the hardener can should be emptied into the base component and stirred thoroughly using a suitable spatula or a drill and paddle until a smooth paste which is uniform in colour, is obtained.

Application
The mixed material should be applied to the substrate using a toothed tiling comb. The tiles should be pressed firmly in place using a twisting action to ensure good contact with the adhesive.

Typical adhesive depth will be approx. 3 – 4mm.

Remove any excess adhesive from the surface of the tiles with a dry cloth immediately.

The joints between tiles may be grouted using SpECtite ETA applied by plastic spatula, working on a maximum area of 0.5m2 at a time.

SpECtite ETA is supplied in 4.5 litre and 15 litre packs.
