The Litokol PowerGel flexible tile adhesive white brings professional quality within reach of every DIY enthusiast. This advanced C2TE adhesive combines the power of duo-polymer technology with the precision of quartz microspheres, ensuring a durable and flexible bond. Whether you are working with ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware or natural stone - this versatile adhesive adapts to your project.
Versatile applications
Don’t think this powerful adhesive is limited to standard tiling projects. PowerGel White proves its worth in an unexpected number of situations. In the bathroom, the flexible formula ensures durable adhesion under showers and around baths, while the water-resistant properties ensure years of performance. Your kitchen benefits from its heat resistance, perfect for backsplashes behind the stove. For patios and outdoor areas, the frost-resistant formula offers protection against the elements. Even in technical areas such as the laundry room or basement, this adhesive performs excellently thanks to its high mechanical strength.
Design possibilities
With PowerGel white you open the door to endless design freedom. The bright white color integrates seamlessly with light joints and creates clean lines that enhance modern interiors. For industrial or minimalist styles, the neutral base ensures a clean look without color interference. For Scandinavian interiors, the white adhesive provides the perfect base under light wood tones and natural materials. For large format tiles, the anti-sag formula prevents shifting, resulting in millimeter-precise installations that give your space a luxurious look.
Material benefits
The secret of PowerGel lies in its unique duo-polymer composition that combines flexibility with strength. The quartz microspheres strengthen the bond structure and significantly improve the mechanical properties. Thanks to the low cement content (less than 29%) you get better workability and less chance of cracking. The thixotropic properties mean that the adhesive liquefies under agitation but stabilises immediately when you stop stirring. This prevents sagging and slipping, even in vertical applications. The extended open time of 60 minutes gives you the peace of mind to position perfectly, while the fast initial setting ensures your project progresses quickly.
Tips for the best results
-
Mixing technique: Add 4.4-5.8 litres of clean water per 20kg bag and mix for 2-3 minutes until homogeneous consistency
-
Comb distribution: Use a 6-10mm notched trowel for wall tiles and 10-12mm for floor tiles for optimal adhesion
-
Double bonding technique: For tiles larger than 30x30cm, also bond the back of the tile for 100% contact
-
Temperature Control: Operate between 5°C and 35°C for best performance and curing
-
Surface preparation: Ensure clean, firm and slightly damp surfaces - lightly moisten dry surfaces
-
Moisture regulation: Always apply a waterproof primer first in bathrooms and wet areas
-
Tool maintenance: Clean tools with water immediately after use - hardened residues are difficult to remove

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use PowerGel white for underfloor heating?
Absolutely! The flexible properties make this adhesive ideal for underfloor heating. The duo-polymer formula absorbs thermal expansion and contraction without losing its adhesion.
What is the maximum tile size I can bond with this adhesive?
PowerGel white is specially developed for large format tiles. Due to the anti-sagging properties and extended open time, you can process tiles up to 120x120cm without any problems, provided you use the correct double-glue technique.
How long do I have to wait before I can grout?
Depending on the surface, temperature and humidity, you can start grouting after 3-12 hours. Always test whether the adhesive has hardened sufficiently by carefully pulling on a tile.
Is this glue suitable for natural stone?
Yes, PowerGel white is excellent for natural stone. Its neutral pH and stain-free composition make it safe for sensitive stone types such as marble and limestone.
Can I use this glue in swimming pools?
PowerGel white is suitable for permanent underwater use, which makes it ideal for swimming pools and spas. Ensure proper preparation and waterproofing of the substrate according to the applicable standards.
