UNIV®-MS is a premixed, ready-to-use adhesive compound with a grey base and high-quality silica (SiO2 98%+), and cement. It is ideal for fixing all types of floor tiles and natural stones, both for internal and external applications, ensuring consistent quality. This single-component, water-resistant bonding mixture includes pure fine mesh silica, cement, and adhesive compounds, making it suitable for civil construction projects.
Reference Standard
- IS:15477
- EN-1348
Area of Application
UNIV®-MS is suitable for various applications, including
- Ceramic tiles floor
- Vitrified tiles floor
- Large format tiles
- Porcelain tiles as per IS 13712: 2006.
Benefits
- High Compressive Strength: Mortar specimens exhibit compressive strengths ranging from 12.1–14.5 MPa at 2 days, 19.1–23.8 MPa at 7 days, and 34.1–36.9 MPa at 28 days.

How toApply: -
Surface Preparation
Prepare the surfaces before the UNIV®– MS & MS+ application by removing oil, bond inhibiting agents, dirt, dust and laitance
The cleaning can be carried out with suitable methods like by using wire brush, water jetting,mopping, etc.
Mixing
UNIV®-MS requires20% ofNormal Water by weight of material (Example-20kg Bag requires 4.0 to 4.5 Litre ofWater)
Mix UNIV®-MS to the measured quantity of water using mechanical stirring for 2-3 minutes to ensure a consistentlump free mixture.
Application- UNIV®-MS on both surfaces using 6 mm notch or mortar trowels spatula.
Place the tiles on the surface then move it in perpendicular direction to notches.
Tap the tiles gently using wooden block or rubber mallet. Remove the excess adhesive using damp cloth / sponge.
Curing
Due to Silica Base compound the temperature of bonding agent low & it gives fast curing, Its Required time for Settlement is 24Hr.
Precaution –safety
As per health & safety rules. Use safety accessories required to be used, would include:
a) Safety gloves
b) Safety goggles
c) Dust & nose mask
d) Helmet
In case of accidental contact with eyes of either dry or wet mix, immediately wash your hands; make sure your hands are clean and then wash your eyes with clean water and if required, seek medical assistance.
Avoid breathing dust.
