LATICRETE, a global leader in the manufacturing of innovative systems for the installation of ceramic tile and stone, announced today the launch of LATICRETE® 125 Anti-Fracture Mortar, a lightweight, superior crack prevention mortar that passes the ANSI A118.12 specification for crack isolation in thin-set ceramic tile and dimensional stone installations. LATICRETE 125 Anti-Fracture Mortar takes the place of liquid or sheet anti-fracture membranes and thin-set combinations for crack isolation, bridging existing cracks up to 1/8” (3 mm), and preventing the transmission of new cracks to the tiled surface. LATICRETE 125 Anti-Fracture Mortar is a two-component mortar reinforced with Kevlar® to provide strength and flexibility, and its lightweight formula allows installers to quickly and easily install tile or stone yielding the same coverage as a 50 pound bag of traditional thin-set.

LATICRETE 125 Anti-Fracture Mortar is highly flexible and ideal for residential or commercial applications, providing peace of mind as a component of the LATICRETE 10 Year System Warranty* and Lifetime Residential Warranty*. Representing the only thin-set that meets the ANSI A118.12 specification standard, LATICRETE 125 Anti-Fracture Mortar eliminates the need for membrane thin-set combinations to prevent the transmission of non-structural cracks up to 1/8”, and features antimicrobial protection from Microban®.

LATICRETE 125 Anti-Fracture membrane is recommended for any size tile or stone using the thin-bed or medium-bed application, and is suitable for use over the a wide range of substrates, including concrete, cement mortar beds, cement backer board, existing ceramic tile and stone, exterior glue plywood (interior use only), brick masonry and cement terrazzo.
