Kalekim 1051 Tile Adhesive 25 Kg
Ideal solution for indoor ceramic and tile applications.
Economical and Reliable Indoor Ceramic Solution
Kalekim 1051 Tile Adhesive is a cement-based, standard performance (C1 class) adhesive with reduced slip (T class), used for bonding ceramic, tile, mosaic, and similar coverings to cement-based surfaces such as concrete, screed, and plaster in indoor environments. Manufactured in compliance with TS EN 12004+A1 standards, it offers a budget-friendly solution with its economical price.
It can be safely used, especially in dry and humid indoor areas of residences such as bathrooms, kitchens, and corridors. While providing high adhesion strength on the applied surface, its non-slip feature offers ease and safety in vertical applications. With its practical preparation and application process, it facilitates the work of both professionals and individual users.

- For ceramic, tile, mosaic, and similar applications on interior walls and floors of residential buildings.
- In dry and humid indoor areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and toilets, on cement-based plaster, screed, and concrete surfaces.
- Ideal for bonding small and medium-sized ceramics.
- Safely used on indoor floors subjected to normal loads and in vertical applications.
- Suitable for ceramic applications on plasterboard with the use of a primer (with an appropriate primer).
- Surface Preparation: The application surface must be free from adhesion-preventing residues such as dust, dirt, and oil, and must be sound, dry, and load-bearing. Cracks and voids on the surface should be filled with appropriate repair mortar. Absorbent surfaces should be moistened.
- Mortar Preparation: 25 kg of Kalekim 1051 powder should be mixed with 6-7 liters of clean water until a lump-free consistency is achieved. Mixing should be done with a low-speed mixer, rested for 5 minutes, and then mixed again.
- Adhesive Application: The prepared mortar should be spread evenly on the surface with a suitable notched trowel (e.g., 6x6x6 mm) and combed with the notched side.
- Tile Laying: Tiles should be placed by pressing them onto the surface within the open time (approximately 20 minutes) after the adhesive has been applied, and full contact should be ensured by gently tapping with a rubber hammer. Grout joints should be left between tiles.
- Grouting: After the bonding process is complete and the mortar has cured (approximately 24 hours later), grouting can be performed with an appropriate Kalekim grout.
- Since the product is cement-based, avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, wash with plenty of water and consult a doctor if necessary.
- Wear appropriate workwear, gloves, and safety glasses during application.
- Adhere to the specified water ratio for mortar preparation. Excessive water can adversely affect the adhesive's strength and slip resistance.
- Do not lay tiles on adhesive that has exceeded its open time. In such cases, scrape off the old adhesive and apply new.
- Do not apply on frozen, thawing, or temperatures below 5°C. Pay attention to surface and ambient temperatures.
- Avoid applying on surfaces exposed to direct sunlight or strong winds, or take necessary precautions.
- Clean tools with water immediately after application. Dried mortar can only be removed by mechanical means.
- Store unopened packages in a dry and cool environment throughout their shelf life.
