Product description
NORDAS G 5  is a cement based thin-set adhesive with high polymer modification to be used for thin-set laying tiles, mosaic and slabs indoor and outdoor, at walls and on floors.

NORDAS G 5 is suitable for laying tiles up to porcelaine stoneware quality, ceramic slabs and formparts, non-dyeing natural stoneslabs, concrete slabs and big size tiles, on dragged and isolated gypsum based plaster, on isolated gypsum based wall boards or cement covered boards. Using NORDAS G 5 on heated grounds is possible but depends on the used covering and on the object use.

By the combination of high adhesive force and long laying time
NORDAS G 5 is prefarably interesting for objects big floor areas and changing traffic loads.

Recommended use
1. NORDAS G 5 is to be mixed with clear water in a clean bin until it has become a flexible smooth mortarpaste, after ripening mix once more.
Mixing ratio: 25 kg
NORDAS G 5 : 7,0 litres water
Ripening time: approx. 3 minutes
Working time: approx. 3 - 4 hours, temperature depending
Laying time: < 30 minutes
Correction time: max. 10 minutes
Hardening: walkable / groutable after approx. 24 hours, full walkable after 3 days, full loadable after 14 - 28 days depending on the temperature and object
Storage time: closed bag, dry and frost free approx. 1 year.


2. Grounds must be clean and form resistant. Remove all loose plaster, oil coatings, colourspots and any other adhesive-reducing components from the surface, uneven patches shall be levelled out by plastering with NORDAS G 5 in advance.
The moisture content inside concrete floors or concrete plasters shall not be over 2%, concrete screed shall be 28 days old minimum. Gypsum plaster and gypsum containing components like wall-boards shall be isolated with a suitable covering. A good adhesive bridge will be reached when the moisture content inside the gypsum plaster is below 0,5%.

3. NORDAS G 5 adhesive shall be applied first smooth to get a contact layer, then comb from bottom to top by using a notch trowel. The tiles shall be pressed to the mortar with slight side force to get a full adhesive contact over the whole tileīs backside. Outdoor and floor coverings having bigger bumps on their backside must be buttered with NORDAS G 5 on their back in addition (Buttering/Floating-Combination). Tile position can be corrected max. 10 minutes after setting.

*acc. to German standard DIN 18157 part 1
**depending on the ground and covering

4. Before tile setting works at wall-boards, the boards must be checked if correct and stable fixed to the ground. In dependence of the boardīs material it might be possible that the board needs a suitable ahesive covering (e.g. paintable) in advance. For the installation of temperature insulating wall-boards and the like the mortar shall be applied to the boardīs backside in lines or spots.

5. Powder coatings on the back of vitreous tiles / porcelaine stoneware tiles must be removed! After application works on reinforced decoupling mattings an extended waiting time is neccessary until the joints can be filled.

6. Note: NORDAS G 5 mixed with liquid polymer dispersion NORDAS  D gives a flexible adhesive proofed acc. to EN 12002 class S 2 for buildings and objects wich must withstand extreme forces or climates, see data sheet for NORDAS  D.

7. NORDAS G 5 shall not be used at air- and substratetemperatures below +5° Celsius and not over +25° celsius substrate- or watertemperature.

We guarantee for the quality of the material. Due to different site conditions we do not guarantee for the execution works by incorrect use.
