Where & When to Use OMNISTIK TE-106

Best uses:
Standard-size ceramic or vitrified tiles on walls & floors
Interior living spaces, balconies, kitchens, bathrooms
Residential and light commercial applications
New constructions and renovation jobs
Situations needing fast and consistent bonding without manual mortar mixing

Especially good because:

• Its easy to mix / ready to use  saves labor and time on site

• Gives consistent strength, reduced chances of hollow spots, and good adhesion

• Works on multiple substrates like concrete, plaster, screed, etc.

What to Check / When to Use Carefully

• Ensure the substrate is clean, level, stable, and free of dust/oil/loose particles.

• Avoid use in continuously wet environments or heavy water exposure areas (like outdoor pool edges) unless paired with proper waterproofing.

• For very large or very heavy stone tiles (marble/granite/slabs)  consider a stronger/high-flex adhesive (e.g., NCL Cerostik TI-103, Tilostik TE-105, or NCL Platinum-grade adhesives).

• Follow proper trowel notch size and full-bed application to eliminate voids under tiles.

Superior Bond Strength & Performance

NCL OMNISTIK-TE 106 is specially formulated to provide high compressive and tensile strength, ensuring tiles remain firmly adhered for years. Its cementitious polymer modification delivers excellent holding power, making it ideal for demanding industrial and commercial environments. This adhesive ensures flexibility and durability even in challenging conditions.


Easy Application and Excellent Workability

With a user-friendly mixing ratio (3:1 by volume) and a workable pot life of around two hours, this adhesive allows for easy and efficient installation. Its good workability facilitates smooth spreading and placement of tiles, while the 30-minute open time permits precise adjustments during application.


Versatile Use on Walls and Floors

This tile adhesive is engineered for both wall and floor installations, suitable for application on cementitious substrates, plastered masonry, and concrete walls and floors. Its water-resistant, flexible formulation enhances performance in diverse environments, making it the trusted choice for interior and exterior tiling projects.
