Composition & Materials
Epoxy resin and hardeners blended with inorganic fillers
Limitations
- Do not bond directly to hardwood, Luan plywood, particle board, parquet, cushion or sponge-back vinyl flooring, plastic and OSB panels.
- Epoxy mortar should not be used to level the floor. When used as a medium bed mortar, thickness should not exceed 3/4" (19 mm) after tiles have been beaten in.
- When setting glass tile over 6" x 6" (15 x 15 cm) contact Technical Services for recommendations.
- When setting dimensional stone larger than 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm) contact Technical Services for recommendations regarding subfloor deflection requirements.
- Temperature will affect the working time of EBM-Lite™. Hot weather will accelerate curing and shorten working time. Cold weather will slow curing and extend working time. Surface temperatures for installation should be between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C).
- Not recommended in some manufacturing facilities where heavy solvents are used. Consult Technical Services on questionable installations.
