Mapei Highly Deformable PU Tile Adhesive, 10Kg, Suitable for Vertical and Exterior Tiling on Difficult Substrates - Bianco

Mapei Keralastic T Bianco 10Kg is an elastic, water-based flooring adhesive designed to bond a variety of floor coverings. It supports luxury vinyl tiles and planks, rubber, linoleum, carpet backing, and related substrates. It’s non-toxic, solvent-free, and ready for use after mixing, with a quick setting profile (setting begins in 10 minutes and full strength is reached in 16–24 hours) and a long open time for adjustments.

It’s suitable for bonding luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), vinyl planks, rubber, linoleum, polyamide (carpet backing), and similar flooring underlays. It’s designed for interior use, and its moisture and flexibility characteristics make it versatile for different floor types.

Setting begins around 10 minutes after application, and the adhesive reaches its full strength in about 16–24 hours, depending on ambient conditions and substrate.

A long open time means you have more time to position and adjust tiles or planks after placing them. You can make corrections within this window before the adhesive starts to set.

Yes. It is non-toxic, solvent-free, and 100% water-based, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to solvent-backed adhesives.

Yes. The product is described as suitable for interior and exterior use across residential, commercial, and industrial environments, provided the substrate and conditions are appropriate.

Basic installation steps typically include: (1) prepare and clean the substrate so it’s dry, sound, and free of contaminants, (2) mix/stir the adhesive to a uniform consistency, (3) apply with an appropriate notched trowel (and back-butter as needed for vinyl tiles), (4) place the flooring and press to bed while adjusting within the open time, (5) remove any excess adhesive promptly with water, and (6) allow curing time without heavy traffic until full strength is reached.

Substrates should be clean, sound, and dry. Whether a primer is required depends on the specific substrate and conditions. Always follow the substrate guidelines and the product instructions to determine if priming is necessary.

Store the 10 kg bag in a cool, dry place in its original packaging. Keep it sealed when not in use and follow basic safety precautions such as using gloves and ensuring good ventilation during application.
