It has an above-average content of unique dry polymer, resulting in good adhesion to both substrate and tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIt can be used for both interior and exterior installations in most residential floor and wall applications. In commercial applications, it's suited for interior floor and wall installations and exterior floors. Mix with water only — no latex additive needed. Ultraflex 1 meets or exceeds ANSI A118.4E and ANSI A118.11 requirements when mixed with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEasy Glide Technology gives it a smooth, creamy consistency that makes troweling fast and easy. Compatible with ceramic, porcelain, quarry tile, pavers, Saltillo tile, most marble, granite, and natural stone. Available in gray and white — use white under light-colored or translucent tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1996\/7489\/files\/mapei_ultraflex_1_tech._data_sheet.pdf?v=1781209470\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eClick Here for Technical Data Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"overflow-x-auto w-full px-2 mb-6\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
