How to use DUSH ERA LATEX ADMIX.
Follow these steps for best results.
Replace all or part of the mixing water with DUSH ERA LATEX ADMIX per the recommended ratio for the application type.
Mix to a smooth, workable consistency. Apply and trowel exactly as you would standard cement adhesive.
Lay tiles into the latex-modified bed. Allow the full cure time before exposing to water or foot traffic.
Pro tips & common mistakes.
Do This
- Always back-butter large marble slabs for 100% contact coverage
- Check substrate flatness with a straight edge before starting
- Mix powder adhesive with clean water only — never with additives unless specified
- Maintain a joint of at least 3mm around room perimeters for expansion
- Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place off the floor
Avoid This
- Apply adhesive to a substrate with standing water or visible dampness
- Use a trowel notch that is too small for the tile size
- Set tiles into adhesive that has already begun to skin over
- Allow adhesive to freeze on the substrate or on the tile during curing
- Ignore the open time — always work within the declared window
Why DUSH ERA LATEX ADMIX works.
Latex Flexibility
Natural rubber-like latex introduces genuine flexibility into cement mortars that polymer admixtures alone cannot replicate.
Superior Waterproofing
Latex fills microscopic pores in the mortar, providing a level of waterproofing beyond standard polymer-modified mortars.
Non-Porous Substrate Adhesion
Dramatically improves bond to glass, existing tiles, steel and other substrates where plain cement adhesive fails.
Vibration Tolerant
Latex-modified mortar absorbs vibration from plant machinery, traffic and building movement without debonding.
Thermal Movement Resistant
The latex component accommodates thermal expansion, preventing bond failure in heated floors and sun-exposed exterior surfaces.

Latex admixtures deliver superior flexibility and waterproofing in demanding applications — particularly on non-porous substrates, in permanently wet environments or where significant vibration or thermal movement is expected. DUSH ERA LATEX ADMIX is chosen when polymer alone is not sufficient.

Latex introduces rubber-like molecular chains into the cement mortar that make the hardened bed flexible, waterproof and better able to bond to smooth, non-porous surfaces. The result is a mortar that moves with the building rather than cracking or debonding under stress.

Add DUSH ERA LATEX ADMIX in place of the mixing water. The latex component dramatically improves adhesion to non-porous surfaces like glass, glazed tiles and steel panels — substrates where plain cement adhesive provides inadequate long-term grip.
