Mapei Adesilex MT32

Adesilex MT32 bonds well to most common substrates, including plaster, plasterboard, cement, concrete, and cementitious screeds. Its versatility makes it suitable for varied substrate conditions typically encountered in tiling projects.

MT32 has excellent non-slump characteristics and good green bonding strength, which helps tiles stay in place on vertical and overhead installations during handling and initial set, reducing the risk of slippage.

Yes. MT32 is designed to provide a waterproof bond and remains elastic under exposure to moisture, making it suitable for exterior installations and wet environments where durability and movement accommodation are important.

Yes. MT32 is suitable for large-format tile installations, enabling faster and more efficient bonding while maintaining a strong, flexible adhesion over long spans.

Mix MT32 with clean water to a creamy, lump-free consistency using a low-speed mixer. Allow the mix to rest briefly if advised, then re-stir to uniformity. Apply with a suitable notched trowel and, for large tiles, back-butter to ensure full contact with the substrate and tile underside. Press tiles firmly into the adhesive to achieve full bedding.

Back-buttering is recommended for large-format tiles or when achieving optimal contact is critical. This helps ensure full coverage behind the tile and improves bond strength and evenness, especially on challenging substrates.

Wear appropriate PPE such as gloves and eye protection, ensure good ventilation, and avoid prolonged skin contact. Use clean water to wash off any splashes promptly and store the product in a dry, cool place away from moisture and incompatible materials.

Coverage depends on tile size, substrate roughness, and the thickness of the bedding. MT32 typically offers higher yield and easier spreading compared to standard adhesives due to its creamy texture, but exact coverage should be estimated based on your specific tile size and substrate condition.

MT32 provides a flexible, elastic bond that accommodates minor substrate movements and thermal or structural expansion without losing adhesion, helping to prevent cracks and debonding in challenging installations.

MT32 is well-suited for interior floors and walls, exterior tiling, wet areas, and installations requiring high bond strength, non-slump performance, and the ability to bond large-format tiles or stone while remaining elastic under moisture exposure.

On Fepy, you can explore a range of tile adhesives in the Adhesives and MAPEI categories to compare features like non-slump performance, elasticity, and suitability for exterior/wet-area tiling. See the Adhesives collection at https://fepy.com/collections/adhesives and the MAPEI-specific options at https://fepy.com/collections/mapei for broader comparisons with MT32.
