MAXKOLA® FLEX
HIGH PERFORMANCE BONDING MORTAR FOR NON POROUS TILES ON TRADITIONAL OR NON RIGID SUBSTRATES

Description

MAXKOLA FLEX is a mortar in powder form composed of hydraulic and synthetic binders that once mixed with water forms a supple bonding mortar, highly adhesive and flexible for interior and exterior application.

Uses

- Fixing of ceramic tiles, high, medium and low porosity vitrified gres, porcelanato, marble, natural stone pavements, interior and exterior walls.
- Coating of cementitious substrates, screeded walls, floor heating systems, existing tiling, etc.
- Rendering distortable substrates such as gypsum boards, wood, plastic, etc.

Advantages

- Very high adhesion to substrates with no porosity.
- Capable of absorbing movements of the substrate.
- Long open time.
- Excellent water retention avoids having to dampen the substrate or pieces to be placed.

Aplication instructions

Preparation of the surface. The substrate must be clean, free from grease, oils, fungus, algae, dust or paint. The substrate must be structurally sound and cohesive, not easily broken. If there are any voids they must be repaired by sandblasting and application of a repair mortar such as MAXREST or MAXRITE 500. The substrate must be as flat as possible, with no unevenness greater than 5 mm. measured with a 2 Mt. long guide.

Mixing of the product. MAXKOLA FLEX is mixed adding between 6.5 and 7.5 litres of water per 25 kg. bag. (27% ± 1) and mixing with a slow mixer (500 rpm) until obtaining a lump free, homogeneous paste, allowing it to rest for 5 minutes before its application.

Application: Spread MAXKOLA FLEX on small areas, not greater than 2 sq. Mts. "combing" it with a toothed trowel 6 x 6 mm. (horizontally on walls) for controlling the thickness. Place the pieces and press until flattening the ridges. Check the adhesion of the product occasionally removing a set piece. Do not apply in thickness greater than 8 mm.

Cautions

MAXKOLA FLEX is non-toxic, but is an abrasive compound by its composition. When mixing and placing do not use bear hands but protect them with rubber gloves.

Use safety goggles and mask.

If the product comes in contact with the eyes, rinse with abundant water but do not rub. If the irritation persists, consult a doctor.
