FLS 1000 C2TES1

Elastic tile adhesive “SUPER ELASTIC” (White) C2TES1

The FLS 1000 adhesive is used for laying tiles and boards of any type and dimension, such as ceramic or from artificial materials, as well as natural building stones, etc. Suitable for interior or exterior surfaces on floors or walls. It can be applied on conventional concrete substrates and cementitious renders, on simple floors (covered with old mosaics or old ceramic tiles), on surfaces made of lightweight structural elements (cellular aerated concrete, cement boards, plasterboards, etc.), on metal surfaces, in swimming pools, water tanks, on surfaces with relatively high humidity, on floors and walls with increased demands on temperature changes (heated floors, bathrooms, balconies, etc.) and wherever high construction quality is required. It ensures very good adhesion, high resistance to compression and bending, with characteristic stability to changes in temperature and humidity. It prevents visual changes of the surface of white marbles (and other building materials) and the formation of efflorescence. Homogeneous, ready-to-mix, industrial product of consistently high quality. It ensures good workability, increased application speed, it is economical and provides excellent results.

Composition & Features
  • Mixture of white cement of high specifications and crushed marble of strictly selected granulometry and quality, enriched with special improving additives.
  • Compliant with EN 12004-1 and classified as adhesive C2TES1.
Application

• The substrate must be clean and firm and it is recommended that it is wetted before application. • The contents of the bag shall be gradually added to clean water (approximately 4.5-5.0 l/bag) under continuous stirring using an electric mixer at low speed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixture is allowed to cure for 5 minutes and then stirred again before the application. • The adhesive should be applied (“combing”) with a serrated putty knife (6-10 mm). The tiles must be placed and pressed to come to the desired position within 30 minutes. The limits of the application time of the prepared adhesive are such that they allow for any correction necessary in order to fix the tiles in their exact final position. • If the substrate has been covered with a render, its moisture content should be less than 2.5% before the adhesive is applied. • During the application of the adhesive, and for a few hours afterwards, extreme climatic conditions (such as strong wind, rain, dust, direct sunlight, etc.) should be avoided and the temperature should be between +5 °C and +35 °C. • Grouting of floors can be carried out after 24 hours and grouting of walls after 8 hours. • For even better quality results, see the relevant MARMOPLUS product.

Packaging & Storage

• In bags of 20 kg, pallets and containers of 5 kg. • In a dry place where frost does not form, for 12 months from the date of production, in unopened bags.

Consumption

2.0-4.0 kg/m2, depending on the type and size of the tiles and the substrate.
