Specification: EN 12004 required the tensile adhesion strength to be ≥ 0.5 N/mm2 for C1 tile adhesive and ≥ 1.0 N/mm2
for C2 after 28 days conditioning under standard condition

Conclusion:
1. From the test results obtained from site, Davco Super TTB 998 when mixed with clean water is in compliance to EN12004.

CFS = Cohesion failure within substrate
