✓ No Special Tools - Applies with standard notched trowel
Product Introduction
When the Xingang port authority needed an adhesive surviving salt spray and winter storms, they tested 7 brands. Zrete C1 held 0.901MPa after 50 freeze-thaw cycles – 23% above project specs.
Why Engineers Specify C1
1.35MPa compressive strength
20-minute critical working window
85% strength retention post-freeze
The Science Behind Simplicity
Unlike polymer-modified competitors, C1 uses calcium aluminate activation – creating crystalline bonds that strengthen in damp conditions. Perfect for:
• Steam rooms where epoxy fails
• Concrete high-rises needing vibration resistance
• Sub-zero climate projects (-45°C tested)
Product Parameters
| Property | Test Method | Value | Industry Std |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compressive Strength | EN 1015-11 | 1.35 MPa | ≥0.5 MPa |
| Freeze-Thaw Resistance | EN 12004 | 0.857 MPa | ≥0.5 MPa |
| Adjustability Time | ISO 13007 | 20 min | ≥10 min |
| Wet Adhesion | EN 1348 | 0.845 MPa | ≥0.5 MPa |
Product Usage
Real-World Application Guide
"I skip primers with C1 on sound concrete – just hose off dust and apply. Saved 3 days on the Dubai mall retrofit."
– Hossam C., Supervisor (UAE)
When to Choose C1
✅ Ideal For
Porcelain/Ceramic ≤800x800mm
Concrete/cured screed bases
Humidity ≤85% environments
⚠️ Avoid When
