Product ID: TDS-154
Three-component, 100% solids epoxy mortar system for installation where chemical resistance, impact resistance and high-strength are a necessity. Non-sag and non-slump for large format tiles on floors and walls. Formulated to be 30% lighter than other epoxy mortars.Handles like a cement-based mortar with the performance of an epoxy. Formulated with recycled material, contributing to LEED® points.
SQUARE FOOT COVERAGE PER 1.9 GALLON UNIT (SQUARE METER PER 7.2 L UNIT)

Mortar coverage between the substrate and tile underside is required to be ≥80% for dry areas and ≥95% for wet areas and exteriors with all tile edges properly supported with mortar and in a minimum of 3/32” (2.38 mm) and a maximum of ¼” (6mm) for mortars without an ANSI “H” rating. Note: Larger tiles, tiles with deep underside patterns and ungauged natural stone tiles may require larger notch sizes and may need to be flat back-troweled (formerly back buttered) or notched-back troweled to achieve proper coverage and mortar support. CUSTOM recommends testing to confirm adequate bonding mortar coverage.
When back troweling, consider the tile’s underside pattern and depth to estimate thickness and usage to add to your estimate. For achieving proper mortar coverage see the following video: Trowel & Error. (Also available in Spanish and Russian.) For information
