Laticrete is a leading manufacturer of globally proven construction solutions for the building industry. Recently, the company has launched Tri-Lite Rapid. This product is a high-performance rapid adhesive mortar that meets ANSI A118.15. Additionally, it contains no respirable crystalline silica levels that exceed the OSHA action level*. Tri-Lite Rapid is the ideal solution for large and heavy tile. It is also great for thin-bed and wall installations that require premium performance and rapid-setting.
“Tri-Lite Rapid was inspired by ProjectSafety, a company-wide initiative focused on providing safer products and educational resources to the construction industry,” said Jonathan Scott, Laticrete Senior Product Manager. “As we continue to make this conscious effort towards innovating new solutions that improve the safety of our workforce and improve the environment, TRI-LITE Rapid’s lightweight, silica-free formula coupled with its ANSI A118.15 performance provides installers with the ultimate alternative to a traditional mortar – even for the most challenging installations.”
Thanks to its ability to bond to most suitable substrates, Tri-Lite Rapid is extremely versatile. It is also ready for grouting in as little as three to four hours. Additionally, it features superior non-sag performance on walls. Its non-sanded lightweight formula and smooth, creamy consistency allow for a 27.5-pound (12.47 kg) bag to provide the same coverage as a traditional 50-pound (22.68 kg) bag of mortar, making it easier to trowel while minimizing upper body fatigue and improving workability for the installer.
