Litokol · X-Activator®Bonding primer for smooth and absorbent substrates, also for tile-on-tile installation
Existing tiles, linoleum, wood or a floor with adhesive residues: renovation without demolition saves weeks of work, dust and expense. Yet new adhesive struggles to bond to smooth, non-absorbent surfaces.
X-Activator® creates a strong polymer bonding bridge on tiles, wood, PVC and concrete, dry after 30 minutes and ready for covering after one hour, with uncompromising performance right into the substrate.
