Tile & Stone Cleaners & PU
Advanced acid-based tile cleaners, PU-PRO polyurethane resin thinset for metal/wood substrates, and SBR latex cement modifiers.
Engineering Overview
Gaucera Specialized Care products engineered for complex bonding challenges and professional post-installation maintenance. Featuring Smart Cleaner, a high-quality fast-acting acid-based degreaser that effortlessly eliminates stubborn cement stains, efflorescence, and mineral deposits; PU-PRO, a two-component polyurethane reaction resin thinset capable of bonding tiles and stone directly onto metal (steel, aluminium, iron), wood, drywall, and PVC; and SBR Latex, an all-purpose synthetic styrene-butadiene polymer modifier that dramatically improves flexural adhesion and waterproofing performance of cement mortars.
Key Performance Highlights
- Fast-Action Acid Formulation (Smart Cleaner): Rapidly dissolves cured cement residue, efflorescence, grout haze, and rust stains
- Antibacterial Sanitization: Cleans, degreases, and sanitizes tiled floors and walls for hygienic living spaces
- Universal Substrate Bonding (PU - PRO): Bonds tiles and natural stones to structural steel, iron, aluminium, plywood, PVC, and drywall
- High Deformability & Vibration Absorption: PU-PRO absorbs dynamic vibrations in elevators, ships, prefabricated pods, and industrial machinery
- SBR Latex Polymer Modifier: Increases cement tensile strength by 200%, reduces water permeability, and creates indestructible bond coats
- Interior & Exterior Versatility: Built for heavy-duty commercial facilities, industrial factories, and residential rejuvenation

PU - PRO Thinset Adhesive
EN 12004 R2T / ISO 13007Two component reaction resin adhesive, ready to be mixed for bonding all types of tiles and stones on various challenging substrates including metal surfaces, steel, iron, wood, and drywall boards.
SBR Latex (Multi-Purpose Cement Modifier)
ASTM C1059 Type IILiquid polymer additive designed for enhancing cement mortar, bonding slurries, waterproof coatings, and repairing spalled concrete. Dramatically increases bond strength and water impermeability.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
1. Smart Cleaner Application
Dampen the tiled surface with clean water. Apply Smart Cleaner diluted (1:1 to 1:4 with water depending on stain severity) or neat for stubborn spots. Allow to react for 3 to 5 minutes. Scrub thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush or scouring pad. Rinse thoroughly with abundant water and wipe clean.
2. Critical Warning for Acid Sensitive Surfaces
DO NOT use Smart Cleaner on acid-sensitive surfaces like polished Marble, Terrazzo, Limestone, or Engineered Stone. Always pre-test in an inconspicuous area.
3. PU - PRO Mixing & Application
Pour Part B (liquid hardener) into Part A (paste) container. Mix thoroughly with a mechanical spiral mixer at low speed for 3 minutes until uniform color and consistency are achieved. Apply with a notched trowel onto metal, wood, or tile substrates within 45 minutes.
4. SBR Latex Bonding Coat
Mix 1 part SBR Latex with 1 part clean water and 3 parts fresh OPC cement by weight to form a creamy bonding slurry. Apply with a stiff brush to pre-dampened concrete before laying fresh screed or repair mortar wet-on-wet.
5. Safety Precautions
Wear rubber protective gloves, safety goggles, and adequate footwear during application. Ensure good ventilation in confined spaces.
Critical Installation Instructions & Standards
Mandatory site protocols for substrate preparation, mechanical fixing, expansion joints, and curing.
• Dilution Guidelines: For normal post-construction cleanup, dilute 1:2 to 1:4 with water. For heavy lime or cement incrustations, use 1:1.
• PU - PRO Substrate Preparation: Metal surfaces must be completely degreased, dry, and free of rust or mill scale. Abrade metal with emery cloth before application.
• Wood Substrates: Plywood or wood panels must be rigid, structurally anchored, dry (moisture content <10%), and acclimatized.
• Ventilation & PPE: Always ensure adequate cross-ventilation and wear rubber gloves and protective eyewear when working with chemical cleaners.
