SILVER STAR
Grey, for Interior & Exterior use, Wall & Floor Tile / Stone Adhesive
DESCRIPTION
Grey, cement-based, high strength polymer

modified wall and floor tile adhesive. Suitable in
interior & exterior situations for fixing tiles and
natural stones, including swimming pools.
STANDARDS
Plus meets the performance

SILVER STAR
requirements of IS 15477 : 2004 Type 2
"Specification for Adhesives for use with
Ceramic Tiles and Mosaics."
PERFORMANCE
Suitable for fixing at 3 - 6 mm bed thickness

(can be extended up to 12 mm in area of
limited extent) wall and floor tiles, mosaics,
vitrified and fully vitrified tiles, marble, terrazzo
and natural stone. The set adhesive is
water-resistant and is suitable for use in
showers and totally immersed situations such
as swimming pools.
Not recommended for direct use onto gypsum
plaster, paint or metal. Suitable for use on
glazed tiles and glazed bricks when used in
conjunction with ARDEX ENDURA ADMIX AD1.
ARDEX ENDURA ADMIX AD1 can be used in
conjunction with SILVER STAR Plus to
enhance the physical properties of the set
adhesive, i.e. Impart flexibility, improve
adhesion, reduce water permeability and widen
application. (See data sheet of ARDEX ENDURA
ADMIX AD1 for further details)

SURFACE PREPARATION
Before starting any work ensure that the base

is :
! Sufficiently flat to permit the specified
flatness of finished tiling, bearing in mind the
permissible minimum and maximum thickness
of the bedding material.
! Suitable for tiling in the service conditions to
which it will be exposed.
! Free from efflorescence, laitance, dirt and
other loose material. Remove thoroughly by
dry brushing.
! All tile and other non-porous surfaces should
be cleaned down by washing with water
containing detergent, then with clean water.
! Surfaces to be tiled must be dry, clean and
free from all contamination.
SITE WORK INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE CONSIDERATIONS
New Concrete / Brick / Block Wall

Before rendering/plastering/tiling, allow walls to
dry out by exposure to air at least 6 weeks.
New Concrete / Sand Rendering
Before commencing tiling, allow new rendering
to dry out by exposure to air for at least
2 weeks (3 weeks for swimming pools)
New Concrete Bases
Before commencing tiling ensure that bases
have been allowed to dry out by exposure to
air for at least 6 weeks.
Existing Concrete / Screed Bases
Cut out all loose or hollow portions and make
good with a 1:3 cement : sand mortar applied
over a slurry bonding coat*. Carefully remove
any soft or unsound residues of existing
adhesive without damaging the bases. Ensure
remaining adhesive residue is sound and firmly
bounded to the base.
Ceramic/Vitrified & Fully vitrified
Tile/Terrazzo/Hard natural Stone bases
Check that existing finish is firmly adhesring to
the base. Remove any loose or hollow sounding
areas and make good with 1:3 cement: sand
mortar over a slurry bonding coat*.
*Slurry bonding coat is prepared by mixing 2 parts by weight
of portland cement to 1 part of ARDEX ENDURA ADMIX AD1.
Brush on the base immediately before applying mortar.
MIXING
Add SILVER STAR Plus to clean water. Mix
thoroughly until a slump free mortar is

obtained. A 26kg bag will require approximately
6.5 - 7.2 litres of water. The adhesive is
immediately ready for use and has a pot life of
3hours at @ 27 1C. No further water should
be added.
APPLICATION
1. Spread not more than 1 sq.m. at a time,

apply the adhesive to the wall or floor
surface.
2. Comb the adhesive to the required depth
(between 3-6mm) using a suitable trowel.
3. Press the tiles firmly into position with a
slight twisting action, checking periodically
that good contact is maintained with the
back of each tile. Leave no voids behind
tiles when solid-bed fixing.
4. Tiles should be fixed within 20 minutes of
adhesive being applied, depending on the
porosity of the surface and atmospheric
conditions. Tiles can be adjusted up to
10 - 15 minutes after fixing. Touch the
adhesive ribs periodically and if a skin has
formed, remove the adhesive and apply a
new layer.
5. Leave adequate joints between individual wall
and floor tiles unless self spacing tiles are
used.
6. Clean off surplus adhesive from the tile face
and between joints.
7. Do not use in damp conditions and
temperature less than 5C
GROUTING
Grouting should not be carried out for at least

24 hours. Use the appropriate grouting
material from the range of cementitious and
epoxy grouts.
NOTE: The addition of ARDEX ENDURA
ADMIX GT1 to cement - based grouts
will enhance adhesion to tile edges, increase
water-resistance and improves flexibility.
