254 Platinum
LATICRETE® 254 Platinum is a tile adhesive meeting C2TE S2 P1, an effective replacement for traditional mortar. With very high bond strength, slip resistance and high flexibility, it bonds firmly to many substrates. It is the optimal choice for thin porcelain and large-format tile, helping the surface withstand vibration and thermal movement, and it performs well in immersed areas and exterior use.

Key features
- Technical classification C2TE S1 P1: meets ISO 13007 / EN 12004 with high bond strength (C2), slip resistance (T), extended open time (E), high flexible deformation (S1) and special surface bonding (P1).
- For large-format tile and thin porcelain panels (GPTP): thanks to its flexibility and high bond strength, the adhesive holds large tile panels firmly on tall walls without slipping.
- Bonds to many substrates: apply directly over concrete, plaster, old tile and, notably, exterior-grade plywood (for interior use) with no complicated primer.
- Durable in harsh environments: withstands vibration, thermal movement, water and thermal shock. Suitable for outdoors, façades and continuously immersed areas such as swimming pools.
- Microban® antimicrobial technology: built-in protection against bacteria and mold growth, protecting the adhesive layer over time.
Applications
- Ceramic, porcelain and thin porcelain tile
- Natural stone, quarry tile, pavers and brick
- Interior, exterior and submerged installations
Suitable substrates
- Concrete
- Cement mortar beds
- Cement plaster
- Concrete masonry
- Brick masonry
- Concrete block
- Cement backer boards
- Existing ceramic tile and stone
- Exterior glue plywood, gypsum wallboard, plastic laminate (interior only)
Notes for use
- Tile adhesives are not a replacement for waterproof membranes. Where a waterproof barrier is required, use a LATICRETE membrane.
Questions about 254 Platinum
What class of adhesive is 254 Platinum?
Under ISO 13007, 254 Platinum is classified C2TE S2P1: improved adhesive (C2), extended open time (E), reduced slip (T) and S2 deformability.
Can 254 Platinum be used for thin porcelain?
Yes. The datasheet lists it as suitable for thin porcelain tile and thin porcelain panels.
