Description

Mapei Kerapoxy Adhesive is a two-component R2T epoxy tile adhesive for demanding wall and floor installations where chemical resistance, high bond strength and no vertical slip are required. It is suited to ceramic, porcelain and compatible stone, including specialist wet-area and swimming-pool applications such as bonding tiles to prepared fibreglass pool shells.

Dedicated epoxy tile adhesive

Unlike decorative epoxy grout products, Kerapoxy Adhesive is formulated primarily for bonding. The thixotropic epoxy mortar holds tiles in position on vertical surfaces and cures without shrinkage to form a rigid, durable bond resistant to humidity, oils, solvents, acids and alkalis within the product's stated limits.

Numbers that matter

R2T classification: Reactive-resin adhesive with improved performance and reduced vertical slip.
Up to 10mm application thickness: Allows build-up behind irregular tile profiles where permitted by the technical data.
Approx. 45-minute pot life at 23°C: Working window after mixing the two components.
10-12 hours to light foot traffic: With full service readiness dependent on conditions and application.

Where to use it

Epoxy tile adhesive for swimming pools and demanding wet areas.
Bonding ceramic and porcelain tiles to prepared compatible substrates.
Installing heavy marble doorsteps, windowsills and rigid tile profiles.
Bonding to prepared ferrous surfaces, gypsum, plasterboard and anhydrite where permitted by the technical data.

Preparation and mixing

Substrates must be strong, dry, clean and properly cured. Mix the full pre-dosed Component B into Component A with a low-speed mixer until uniform. Apply with a notched trowel and back-butter where necessary to achieve the required contact.

Limitations

Do not use on wet, dirty or friable substrates.
Do not use for movement or expansion joints.
Do not dilute with water or solvent.
Maintain the specified component ratio; partial mixing should only be done where an accurate weighed ratio can be maintained.
Observe the stated application-temperature limits.

Kerapoxy system options

For projects where the primary requirement is a coloured, acid-resistant epoxy grout that can also be used as an adhesive, see Mapei Kerapoxy Easy Design. For cleaning fresh epoxy grout residue and haze from compatible tile surfaces, use UltraCare Kerapoxy Cleaner.

Common Questions

What classification does Kerapoxy Adhesive have?
It is an R2T reactive-resin tile adhesive.

Can it be used in swimming pools?
Yes, including suitable prepared pool substrates such as compatible fibreglass shells.

How long is the pot life?
About 45 minutes at 23°C.

Can it be used for expansion joints?
No. Do not use it for movement or expansion joints.

Uses & Benefits

Two-component R2T epoxy tile adhesive for demanding wall and floor installations. Provides high bond strength, chemical resistance and reduced vertical slip. Suitable for ceramic, porcelain and compatible stone, including specialist wet-area and swimming-pool work. Can be applied up to 10mm thick where allowed by the technical data. Pot life is about 45 minutes at 23°C.

How To Apply

Prepare a clean, sound substrate suitable for an R2T epoxy adhesive. Mix the two components thoroughly in the specified ratio. Apply with the correct notched trowel and keep total adhesive thickness within the documented 10mm maximum where permitted. Place tiles within the approximately 45-minute pot life at 23°C and ensure full contact. Light foot traffic is typically possible after about 10 to 12 hours, with full service depending on conditions and the installation.

Limitations and Safety Info

Do not use on wet, dirty or friable substrates. Do not use for movement or expansion joints. Do not dilute with water or solvent. Maintain the specified component ratio. Only mix partial quantities where the ratio can be weighed accurately. Observe the product's stated application-temperature limits.

Suitable Substrates

Ceramic and porcelain tile installations.
Compatible natural stone.
Prepared fibreglass pool shells.
Prepared ferrous surfaces.
Gypsum, plasterboard and anhydrite where permitted by the technical data.
