Types and technical characteristics of Unis tile adhesives


Features and scope

The main components of Yunis adhesives are almost the same. They contain cement, mineral filler and modifying components. Plain or quartz sand, dolomite or gypsum are used as fillers. Special additives give the mixture certain properties, for example, they enhance adhesion, make it more plastic, frost-resistant, waterproof, etc.

All Eunice mixtures are certified in accordance with the standards and legislation of the Russian Federation. Suitable for use in preschool institutions, food factories, medical institutions.

The compositions exhibit good adhesive properties in relation to the following materials:

  • gypsum;
  • concrete, including cellular concrete;
  • cement strainer;
  • asphalt;
  • brickwork;
  • plasterboard products;
  • slag and aerated concrete.

Eunice produces products for exterior use and interior decoration. The Unis series includes mixtures for heated floors, bases with complex structures, surfaces constantly in contact with water, as well as separately for glass mosaics, porcelain tiles, blocks, natural or artificial stone.

Eunice tile mixture is used in dry and damp rooms. Some types of adhesives can level surfaces with minor defects and differences in height. The use of Eunice moisture-resistant compounds is possible even in places of direct contact with water (baths, saunas, swimming pools, bathrooms).

Advantages

  • High strength index.
  • Good adhesion characteristics to all types of substrates.
  • The adhesive joint does not lose its properties when the temperature decreases or increases, but only frost-resistant glue has resistance to freezing, which can withstand even the conditions of the Far North.
  • The composition is environmentally friendly, has no pungent odor, and no toxic fumes.
  • At the same time, the cladding is glued and the base is leveled.
  • The density of the composition prevents the tiles from sliding even from vertical or inclined bases.
  • Economy. The consumption of tile adhesive is small, its value varies slightly depending on the type.
  • Long shelf life of the finished solution. There is enough time to lay the tiles, adjust their position and securely fix them.
  • Moisture resistance.
  • Can be used when installing heated floors.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of the Eunice adhesive mixture:

  • High level of elasticity, suitable for fixing to a moving base (for example, wood). Fills in all the unevenness.
  • Good adhesion, provides strong and reliable adhesion to the base. Allows you to lay it from bottom to top and prevents it from slipping.
  • Wide range of applications. Suitable for external and internal work.
  • High heat resistance allows the adhesive mixture to be used for heated floor coverings. It does not heat up due to high temperatures, and the fixation does not become worse.
  • Dries quickly.

However, it has a number of disadvantages. These include the speed of drying - it will have to be diluted in small portions, which takes a lot of time. If this is not done, it will lose most of its properties, and the master will waste his money.

Types of adhesive mixtures from Unis and technical characteristics

The most popular adhesives in the Unis line are Unis Plus and Unis 2000. The company also produces specialized compounds and progressive adhesives made using the most modern technologies. All adhesives are packaged in packages of 5 and 25 kg. It is important to store any mixture correctly: leave it only in a dry room, and on a wooden pallet so that it does not get damp. The shelf life under proper conditions is 12 months.

"Unis Plus"

The composition of Unis Plus in red packaging is familiar to all professional tilers. It is suitable for all types of tiles - regular, porcelain stoneware, mosaic, stone, and is positioned as an adhesive for complex substrates. The manufacturer recommends using the product when finishing facades with porcelain stoneware, laying tiles on tiles, and installing heated floors. There are limitations in operation only when finishing the base and deformable bases; for this purpose it is better to choose a specialized composition.

The strength of the adhesive is very high - 1.25 MPa, it can easily withstand the load of tiles weighing more than 100 kg per square meter. Other technical parameters of “Unis Plus”:

  • approximate consumption – 3.5-4.5 kg/sq. m;
  • compressive strength – 7.5 MPa;
  • solution life cycle – 3 hours;
  • time for laying tiles after applying the mortar is 20 minutes;
  • tile adjustment time – 10 minutes;
  • frost resistance – 35 cycles;
  • period until complete hardening – 24 hours;
  • layer thickness – 3-15 mm.

One bag weighing 25 kg consumes 5-5.5 liters of water, that is, the ratio of dry powder to liquid is approximately 5:1. The finished coating can be used at temperatures of -35…+70 degrees.

"Unis 2000"

This is another well-known composition from Unis in black packaging. This tile adhesive is intended for external and internal use, is highly durable, glues and levels differences in height up to 15 mm. Due to its excellent adhesive ability, the product can be used not only for standard tiles, but also for porcelain stoneware, stone up to 60*60 cm in size. “Unis 2000” can be used on durable, non-deformable bases when finishing floors, walls inside and outside buildings, but only on unheated surfaces. The scope of application of the glue also extends to:

  • building facades above the basement;
  • rooms with high humidity;
  • balconies and terraces.

Unis 2000 differs from the previous product in the reduced working time of the solution after it is applied to the surface: the tiles need to be laid in 10, not 20 minutes. The viability of the solution is also less - 2 hours, and the retained weight of the tile per 1 square meter of area is up to 80 kg. Glue adhesion is also below 1 MPa. This tile adhesive allows it to be used in more severe conditions; it does not deteriorate from use at temperatures of -50...+50 degrees.

"Yunis 21"

This type of economical, moisture-resistant adhesive is intended for tiling bathrooms and kitchens; it is suitable for floors and walls, but is not used for porcelain tiles and slabs larger than 30*30 cm. In addition to wet rooms, the product is also useful for freezing rooms. "Unis 21" is produced in two varieties - only for interior work or for exterior and interior work. The difference between them is the adhesion indicators (0.5 and 0.7 MPa) and the maximum thickness of the adhesive layer (10 and 15 mm).

The technical parameters are:

  • average consumption – 3.5 kg/sq. m;
  • solution lifetime – 3 hours;
  • adjustment time – 10 minutes;
  • period before operation – 24 hours;
  • frost resistance – 35 cycles;
  • the maximum load per square meter of glue is 40 kg.

The finished coating can be used at temperatures of -50...+50 degrees, although freezing can be allowed only a month after applying the adhesive layer. "Unis 21" can withstand high air humidity, but does not tolerate constant contact with water.

"Unis" HiTech

This adhesive is used for finishing complex substrates. To create it, new technologies are used to improve the quality of adhesion to tiles. Using glue, you can mount tile coverings not only on vertical bases and floors, but also on ceiling surfaces and ceilings. It is permissible to lay tiles using the top-down method.

The characteristics of the product are as follows:

  • layer thickness – 3-15 mm;
  • approximate consumption per square meter – 3.5 kg;
  • frost resistance – up to 35 cycles;
  • holding weight – 50 kg/sq.m. m.

The viability of the solution has been seriously increased - it is 300 minutes, the adjustment has also increased to 15 minutes, and the working time after applying the solution is 25 minutes. You can use the coating after a day, as is the case with other adhesives of the brand.

"Yunis Granite"

The adhesive has an extremely strong hold and is intended for large slabs, massive elements made of stone and porcelain stoneware. “Unis Granite” is used even for tiles larger than 60*60 cm, and allows finishing plinths and facades, walls and floors, and various complex bases. The level of adhesion of the composition is very high - 1.5 MPa, which is much higher than that of analogues, and allows you to lay new tiles even on old ones.

"Unis Granite" has a low consumption - up to 3.5 kg per square meter, which is associated with the small recommended layer thickness (3-10 mm). The finished portion of the solution will not deteriorate within 3 hours, and the position of the tile can be adjusted in 10 minutes. 24 hours must pass before walking on the tile begins, and only then can it be fully used. The frost resistance of the glue is 35 cycles.

"Eunice Belfix"

White tile adhesive of the Eunice Belfix brand is intended for light mosaics, porcelain tiles and glass mosaics. It provides reliable fixation and filling of seams, guarantees increased frost resistance - up to 75 cycles. Belfix is ​​usually used when the standard gray mixture is not suitable. The product is characterized by high elasticity and resistance to negative temperatures. It can also be used for grouting joints.

The characteristics of Belfix are as follows:

  • operating temperatures – -50…+70 degrees;
  • time before operation – 24 hours;

The adhesive is intended for covering uneven surfaces, bases in the kitchen, bathroom, balconies and terraces. It is permissible to apply glue in a layer of 3-15 mm, and it is desirable that the indicator be close to the upper limit (due to this, the consumption increases to 5 kg per square meter). Other technical parameters:

  • solution lifetime – 180 minutes;
  • adjustment time – 10 minutes;
  • working time of the solution after application is 10 minutes;
  • period before operation – days;
  • frost resistance – 75 cycles;
  • operating temperatures - -50...+70 degrees.

"Yunis Pool"

Unis Pool glue is used for fixing tiled, mosaic, ceramic and stone tiles in exterior and interior work. It perfectly adheres the coating even on difficult substrates, in freezing rooms, in swimming pools and other water reservoirs. The product is suitable for finishing heated floors and laying new tiles on top of the previous ones. It is important to observe the limitation on the size of the elements: you cannot work with Unis Pool glue with tiles larger than 60*60 cm.

Glue consumption usually does not exceed 3.1 kg/sq.m. m, because it is applied in a layer of 3-6 mm, no more. The standard time for adjusting tiles is 10 minutes, as is the period before the surface starts to be used – 24 hours. The adhesion of the composition is 0.5 MPa, the retained weight of the tile is 60 kg per square meter. Frost resistance – 35 cycles.

"Warm glue"

The plaster-adhesive mixture for thermal insulation systems is used indoors and outdoors, intended for reinforcing various bases and installing an insulating layer of polystyrene foam, glass wool, and mineral wool. Using “Teplokley” you can reliably fasten marble, tiles, ceramics, tiles; it is also suitable for lining stoves and fireplaces. To protect the bases from fungus, it is recommended to use a Yunis brand primer in parallel.

The adhesive is used for manual and machine application. It has excellent elasticity, making it suitable even for deformable substrates. The glue does not interfere with gas exchange and can be used in the construction of breathable coatings. The main characteristics are:

  • layer thickness – 2-15 mm;

It is especially recommended to buy glue for attaching fibrous thermal insulation, which has increased vapor permeability. The finished solution is plastic, easy to use, and does not emit harmful substances when heated.

"Unice Horizon"

“Horizon” from “Yunis” is a product for filling floors, which is why it is often called “liquid linoleum”. After thinning and application, a seamless coating is created that can even out height differences of up to 100 mm. The adhesive is used for manual and machine leveling of floors, screeds, and can be used on load-bearing substrates. “Horizon” is suitable for thick-layer and thin-layer leveling, warm and floating floor systems.

  • operating temperatures – -40…+80 degrees.

Instructions for use

You can start laying work at an air temperature of +5...+30°C. Humidity indoors or outdoors should not exceed 75%.

Surface preparation

  1. Cleaning the surface of old finishes, removing crumbling plaster or screed.
  2. Leveling the base. Height differences of no more than 0.1 cm per 1 square meter are allowed not to be leveled. All defects whose depth exceeds this indicator are plastered. The Yunis company provides a wide range of plaster mixtures. If the surface is not leveled, the adhesive composition will be applied and dry unevenly, which causes the tiles to peel off and cracks to appear on it.
  3. When the tile cladding is laid on the old coating, notches are made every 50 mm in a checkerboard pattern to increase adhesion.
  4. The base is degreased and dried.
  5. When working in damp, basement areas, it is recommended to waterproof with mastic.
  6. The base is primed 1-2 times. Overly porous surfaces are primed especially carefully.

There is no need to pre-soak the tiles and base.

Mixing the solution

Dilute Eunice only in clean containers. The dry mixture must be diluted with water. The proportion of powder and liquid is indicated on the glue packaging. Next, the composition is thoroughly kneaded until smooth for about 3-5 minutes. The mixture is left at rest to ripen for 3-5 minutes. and mixes again.

You can dilute it manually or with construction tools (mixer, drill with attachment). Using the manual method, no more than 1 kg of the mixture is diluted at a time. The diluted glue is used within a maximum of 3 hours, otherwise it thickens. To give the composition a working consistency, it is kneaded again with a mixer without adding liquid.

If you change the proportions during cooking or add other ingredients, the adhesion of the glue will weaken.

Applying glue

  • The mixture is applied to the base with a trowel or spatula. A layer 0.3-1.5 cm thick is leveled with the serrated side of a spatula or a grater-comb. When working with large tiles, use a spatula with teeth more than 0.8 cm high. The weight of the tiles should not exceed the maximum permissible value.
  • The tile is pressed against the applied adhesive layer. The distribution of the composition should be uniform without the formation of voids; this is achieved by pressing wave-like on the tiled surface or by tapping it with a rubber hammer.
  • When the material is laid within 15-20 minutes, it is possible to correct its position and level it. To ensure that the seams have the same thickness, special crosses are used.

The glue is applied to the surface area that will be covered during the viability of the mixture.

For outdoor work, when installing large tiles, marble slabs or when gluing onto a porous, embossed surface, the composition is applied not only to the base, but also to the back of the tile.

The drying time of the glue depends on its type, layer thickness and other factors, but on average, within a day you can start rubbing the seams. When the tiles are laid on a warm floor, the heating turns on only after 4 weeks.

Flow calculator

Typically, all work with glue is carried out using a notched trowel, because products of the Unis brand do not require continuous application. The teeth leave empty grooves, therefore, glue consumption is reduced. To prevent it from rising, it is better to first treat uneven bases with plaster.

The working layer should not exceed 15 mm, its minimum thickness is 2-3 mm. Typically, if you have a spatula with teeth 6.2 * 6.2 cm in size, the consumption varies from 3.5 to 4.8 kg with the greatest thickness of the seam. A spatula, whose teeth measure 3.1*3.1 cm, “takes up” less glue – up to 3.5 kg. Do not violate the proportions - dilute the glue with water strictly according to the instructions for use. Otherwise, consumption may change upward. Preparing too large portions of the solution also negatively affects efficiency: if you do not have time to use up the glue, it will deteriorate.

Advice from professional craftsmen

  • The longer the composition is mixed, the shorter its lifespan. The reduction entails a reduction in the time allotted for working with the composition and further adjustment of the position of the material. It is optimal to mix with a construction mixer at low speed.
  • To ensure that the seams are the same, plastic crosses or special clamps are installed.
  • The size of the trowel teeth depends on the size of the tile. The larger the perimeter of the material, the higher the teeth.
  • The mixture cannot be applied to the entire base at once. The prepared solution is spread on a part of the surface that the master will have time to paste over in 10-15 minutes, otherwise the glue will lose its characteristics. It is advisable to glue the tiles immediately after applying the mixture.

Price of Eunice adhesives

The best-selling product is Eunice Plus tile adhesive. It is packaged in bags of 5, 23, 25 kg, so the price of the glue will depend on the volume of the package. There are mixtures, the cost of which depends on additional properties and components.
