ARDEX X 77 Standard White – MICROTEC® Fibre Reinforced Flexible Adhesive
ARDEX X 77 Standard White is a premium, MICROTEC® fibre-reinforced, cement-based tile adhesive developed for high-specification architectural projects and precision-led installations. Its extended open time of up to 60 minutes, combined with outstanding slump resistance, enables accurate fixing of large-format and light-coloured tiles on both walls and floors.
Formulated specifically for contemporary surface materials — including fully vitrified porcelain, low-porosity slabs, glass and porcelain mosaics, and terrazzo — the white formulation is particularly suited to translucent, light-toned, and decorative finishes. ARDEX X 77 complies with BS EN 12004 C2 TE S1, classifying it as an improved, reduced-slip, extended open time adhesive with deformability for demanding substrates and service conditions.
Suitable for interior and exterior use, including swimming pools, spa environments, wet rooms, and underfloor-heated floors, ARDEX X 77 develops rapid early strength, allowing foot traffic and grouting from approximately 90 minutes, with full loading achievable after 24 hours.
