BT-48 is a workable mortar that increases its impermeability by adding an appropriate proportion of waterproofing resins. This product can be used for all types of sealing or creating waterproof membranes on various surfaces.

Application

BT-48 is suitable for installing all types of tiles, ceramics and stone on both walls and floors. It is recommended to use this product in damp or wet areas, especially where moisture is likely to be present behind the surface, such as swimming pools, sanitary facilities, or industrial kitchens, as an alternative to cement screeds or paste adhesives. Avoid using sharp tools to stir the mortar and use mechanical aids to hold the piece in place when installing heavy pieces until the final fit is achieved. The thickness required for good bonding of the pieces to the underlying substrate depends on the surface roughness of the surface. To make mortar by hand, you need to add about 5 liters of water to a 25 kg bag
