Laticrete 257 Titanium Thin-Set Mortar
The ultimate, lightweight one-step, polymer fortified, thin-set mortar
that is ideal for the installation of Gauged Porcelain Tile Panels/Slabs
(GPTP) as well as for interior and exterior installation of ceramic tile,
porcelain tile, stone, quarry tile, pavers and brick. 257 Titanium
is designed with key features to facilitate the installation of Gauged
Porcelain Tile Panels including long open time, superior transfer for
maximum coverage, easy to spread creamy consistency and a

Laticrete 257 Titanium also utilizes
LATICRETE HYDROMATIC CURE CHEMISTRY™. This technology
accelerates the hydration process to rapidly consume the water in
the system, allowing the material to cure in a predictable manner.
