Approximate Coverage
Approximately 11 lineal feet (3.35 m) per tube at 3/8" by 3/8" (9
mm x 9 mm) joint width.
Approximately 25 lineal feet (7.62 m) per tube at 1/4" by 1/4" (6
mm x 6 mm) joint width.
Limitations
▪ Adhesives/mastics, mortars and grouts for ceramic tile, pavers,
brick and stone are not replacements for waterproofing
membranes. When a waterproofing membrane is required, use
a LATICRETE® Waterproofing Membrane (see Section 10
FILING SYSTEMS).
▪ A test area should be conducted when used with stone. Test
sealant on small area to verify results.
▪ Use LATASIL 9118 Primer for porous stone and tile and for wet
area applications. Conduct a test area to verify results.
▪ Not for use in applications where physical abuse or abrasion is
likely.
▪ Do not use on or adjacent to building materials that may bleed
oils, plasticizers or solvent materials such as impregnated wood,
oil based caulks, green or partially vulcanized rubber gaskets or
tapes.
▪ For stone installations, test a small area to check for any fluid
migration and to verify results.
▪ Not a structural glazing adhesive.
▪ Joint depth should not exceed 1/2" (12 mm) thickness (use
backer rod for deeper joints).
▪ Joint width should not exceed 1" (25 mm) and be narrower than
1/8" (3 mm).
▪ For perimeter sealing or expansion joint design, the ratio of the
joint width to sealant depth should be roughly 2:1.
▪ Cannot be painted.
Cautions
▪ Consult SDS for safety information.
▪ Protect finished work from traffic and exposure to water until
fully cured, generally 24 hours at 70°F (21°C).
▪ Sealant must cure a minimum of 4 days at 70°F (21°C)/50%
R.H. prior to exposing to continuous water submersion.
▪ However, the other tile/stone installation materials (e.g. mortars,
membranes. grouts) must cure a minimum of 14 days at 70°F
(21°C)/50% R.H. prior to exposing to continuous water
submersion.
▪ Maintain surface temperature between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F
(32°C) during installation and for 24 hours thereafter.
▪ Uncured sealant may cause serious eye damage if contact is
made. Avoid contact with sealant until cured.
▪ Keep out of reach of children.
▪ If uncured sealant comes in contact with skin, wash with soap
and water immediately.
▪ Always use LATASIL with adequate ventilation and avoid
prolonged breathing of vapor and prolonged skin contact.
