3. Durability: With tensile adhesion strengths of over 1 N/mm², even after exposure to water, heat aging, and freeze-thaw cycles, ARDEX X78 is suitable for both internal and external applications, including swimming pools.
4. Strong Bond: ARDEX X78 bonds well to a variety of surfaces, such as concrete, cement, sand screeds, heated sub-floors, anhydrite screeds, and even existing ceramic tiles, making it a versatile choice for different flooring needs.

In summary, ARDEX X 78 is a robust and adaptable adhesive, perfect for large format tile installations, offering strong adhesion, flexibility, and durability in demanding environments.

Coverage: A 20kg bag of ARDEX X78 will produce about 16.65 litres of adhesive mortar. You will need around 1.2kg of powder for each square metre of surface for every millimetre of adhesive thickness. The exact coverage depends on the type of tile, the notched trowel used, and how the tiles are applied. For example, a 20kg bag will cover roughly 5.6 square metres when applied at a thickness of 3mm.
