What is VDW 495 Joint Compound Adhesive Mortar?
The PHNA Xtreme Adhesion Elutriant is a high-strength, highly plastic-modified, hydraulically hardening universal bonding compound used to secure pavers, natural stone, and porcelain tile to the PHNA Xtreme Bedding Compound (VDW 480 Trass Bedding).
Benefits of VDW 495 Joint Compound Adhesive Mortar
Fast hardening
With wet-to-wet application, the mortar dries quickly, so testing and grouting can begin sooner, and projects can be finished faster.
Under Surface heating compatible
Compatible with under‑surface heating and permeable, it lets moisture escape so surfaces warm up without shifting or cracking.
Use after 24 hours
With wet‑to‑wet application, the mortar cures fast, so you can start testing and grouting sooner and finish the job quicker.
Suitable for light/heavy loads
Suited for light to heavy traffic, this elutriant forms a durable, monolithic permeable system built to last.
Installation Instructions
Construction Site Requirements
- The subsurface must be made load-bearing, firm, and water-permeable.
- All elements should be constructed based on the highest expected traffic loads.
- The foundation should be stable so as not to allow any future surface settling or loosening of pavers under these traffic conditions.
- Ideally, the setting bed would be the PHNA Xtreme Bedding Compound (vdw 480).
- Ambient and substrate temperature should be 41-77°F, and the process should be carried out in dry weather.
Preparation
- To ensure a clean bond between the adhesive mortar and the paving unit, the connecting elements should be clean and free of any dust/debris that would otherwise prevent that.
Mixing
Application
- Installation of paving units with the Xtreme Adhesion Elutriant bonding slurry can be carried out in one of two ways and should be done based on the type of paving unit utilized.
- For natural stone slabs, porcelain tile, and concrete pavers,
- Please follow the “Notched Trowel” method.
- For small paving units such as cobblestones.
- The “Dip” method is a viable alternative.
Important Information
- The surface can be walked on after 24 hours.
- Grouting can also be carried out at this time.
- Protect the adhesive mortar from rapidly drying out, as well as rain, for 12 hours. Full resilience will be reached after 7 days, but vehicular areas should not be opened to traffic until the grout has also sufficiently cured.
- Paved stone work is done by hand – no compaction machinery should be used.
- Expansion joints should be laid according to relevant guidelines.
- The underside of sawed stones should be roughened prior to the application of the Xtreme Adhesion Elutriant.
