Ardal tips

At Bostik Stronger Bonds, Better Life, service is of great importance. Bostik wants to be of service to you in the best way possible.

For the brand Ardal Tile Technique tips are always very useful. Hereunder you will find some tips for the bonding process of tiles:

Make sure the environment- and surface temperature is not lower than +5°C. When the environment- and surface temperatures are too low, the pre-treatment and adhesive are likely to dry quite slowly. This is harmful to the adhesion and the final end result.
Don’t use paste adhesives at a temperature lower than +5°C. If paste adhesives are kept in an environment with a temperature below 0°C, they can not be used anymore.
Don’t store our products in your working van, while there can be frost at night.
Make sure you mix the products homogeneously. Mix with low speed, this will prevent lumps and too much air in the mixture.
Good tools. The teeth of the tooth comb will wear in time. Because of this you will put less adhesive on the surfaces as intended.
One pre-treatment for all (renovation) projects: Ardapren. Suitable for porous and non-porous surfaces. One pre-treatment, never a wrong choice, always a perfect adhesion.
