Ultrascape Slipbond - Vertical Stone and Brick Slip Adhesive - Instarmac

Ultrascape Slipbond is specifically formulated for brick slips and natural stone. For porcelain tiles, a different adhesive from the Instarmac range, such as UltraScape ProFlex SP or similar, would be more appropriate, as they are designed for high-density, low-porosity tiles.

Coverage varies depending on the trowel size used and the evenness of the substrate. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage estimates, typically provided in square meters per bag.

The curing time before grouting typically ranges from 24 to 48 hours, but this can vary based on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. Always consult the product's technical data sheet for precise recommendations.

While Ultrascape Slipbond provides a strong bond for vertical applications, it is primarily designed for cladding. For floor applications subject to heavy foot traffic, a dedicated heavy-duty floor adhesive would be recommended.

No, the substrate must be dry and sound before applying Ultrascape Slipbond. Any dampness will compromise the adhesion and long-term performance of the adhesive.

The product typically has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened packaging in a cool, dry condition. Always check the packaging for specific expiry dates.

Ensure the substrate was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Re-check mixing ratios and application method. Extreme temperatures during application or curing could also affect bonding.

Ensure correct water-to-mix ratio is used. If working in high temperatures, try mixing smaller batches or using cooler water. Check for inadequate substrate preparation which can draw moisture out too fast.

This is often related to soluble salts in the substrate or materials. Ensure materials are stored correctly and consider using a suitable primer or sealant after the adhesive has fully cured if the problem persists.

Verify that the substrate has adequate stability and flexibility. Ensure the adhesive was applied correctly and that there is no excessive movement in the structure. This adhesive is designed to be flexible, but extreme movement can still cause issues.
