Brand: ARDEX ENDURA
Product: Bronze Star Tile Adhesive
Pack Size: 50 kg bag
Standard Compliance: IS 15477:2019 Type 1T
Properties: Polymer-Modified, Non-Slip/Non-Sag
Max Tile Size: Up to 300mm x 300mm (small-format)
Application: Interior dry and semi-wet tile installations

ARDEX ENDURA Bronze Star Tile Adhesive is formulated to strictly confirm with IS 15477:2019 Type 1T protocols ("Specification for Adhesives for use with Ceramic, Mosaic and Stone Tiles"). Engineered with specialized imported polymer additives, it guarantees high-strength bond durability over standard cement mortars. The 'T' designation certifies advanced slip resistance, safely locking small-format tiles onto vertical walls without structural shifting, while its extended open working time drastically accelerates on-site installation speeds.

Bronze Star can be blended directly with ARDEX ENDURA ADMIX AD1 (Latex Additive) to achieve enhanced flexibility and specialized industrial-grade adhesion profiles for semi-flexible installation zones.

Recommended Applications

Small-Format Interior Tiling: Ideally engineered for installing small-format ceramic, clay, and terracotta tiles up to 300mm x 300mm in size
Internal Dry Environments: Perfect for residential interior floors, common hallways, dry room accent walls, and general interior plaster backgrounds
Semi-Wet Areas: Highly recommended for interior toilet blocks and bathroom floors/walls (when properly integrated with substrate waterproofing)
Approved Base Substrates: Bonds perfectly to cement sand screeds, cement-based plaster walls, and rough cured concrete

Note: Not recommended for direct application onto gypsum plaster surfaces, metal panels, or painted walls.

Application Guidelines

Surface Preparation: Ensure the background is sound, structurally clean, flat, and completely free from surface contaminants, laitance, oil, grease, or dirt dust. New concrete substrates must be damp-cured and at least 28 days old
Mixing Proportions: Pour clean, potable water into a clean mixing container. Gradually add the Bronze Star powder. Water Ratio by Weight: 10.5 to 12.0 Litres of water per 50kg bag (Volumetric Ratio: 1 part water to 3 parts powder)
Mixing Execution: Stir thoroughly by hand or use a slow-speed electric paddle mixer to achieve a uniform, smooth, lump-free consistency. Allow the mixture to slake/polymerize for 2–5 minutes, then remix for 30 seconds before application. Do not add extra water after this phase
Adhesive Application: Apply the mixed paste to the surface using the flat edge of a trowel to key into the substrate, then comb through with a correctly sized notched trowel. Spread only as much adhesive as can be tiled within its 15-minute open time
Tile Placement: Press the tiles firmly into the combed bed with a distinct twisting and sliding action. Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to achieve full bed contact and correct the alignment. Allow to cure undisturbed for 24 hours before opening up the zone to joint grouting or light foot traffic

1) Can I use ARDEX ENDURA Bronze Star to fix large-format vitrified tiles?

No. As per the official TDS, Bronze Star is explicitly formulated for porous clay, ceramic, and mosaic tiles of a small format (up to 300mm x 300mm). Large vitrified tiles or non-porous surfaces have low water absorption and require an adhesive with higher polymer content and greater tensile strength, such as Silver Star or Gold Star Plus.

2) Is it safe to use this adhesive on external high-rise building facades?

No. Bronze Star is rated strictly for interior dry situations or interior walls and floors. Exterior facades are subjected to thermal expansion, wind loads, and heavy rain, which require high-performance, deformable exterior adhesives.

3) How do I improve the flexibility of Bronze Star if I have to use it in semi-flexible zones?

You can significantly boost its flexible bonding capabilities by substituting a portion of the mixing water with ARDEX ENDURA ADMIX AD1 (Latex Additive). For a 50kg bag, the official TDS ratio is 8.0 to 9.5 Litres of water blended with 2.5 Litres of ADMIX AD1.

4) What is the maximum allowable thickness for the adhesive bed during installation?

The standard application thickness is up to 6 mm. However, if you hit local depressions or slight wall surface irregularities, the TDS notes it can be extended up to 12 mm in localized areas of limited extent to level out the plane.

5) How much coverage should I expect from one 50kg bag?

Coverage depends on the notched trowel size used: a 6mm x 6mm trowel yields approximately 165–175 sq.ft, an 8mm x 8mm trowel yields approximately 125–135 sq.ft, and a 12mm x 12mm trowel yields approximately 85–90 sq.ft. Actual coverage will vary based on substrate flatness and application technique.
