MARMOFIX 500 C2TE
High strength tile adhesive (White) C2TE
The MARMOFIX 500 adhesive is used for laying tiles and boards of any type and dimensions, such as ceramic, or of artificial materials, as well as for laying 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, as well as on surfaces made of lightweight structural elements (cellular aerated concrete, cement boards, plasterboards, etc.). It ensures very good adhesion and high resistance to compression and bending. 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.
• Mixture of white cement of high specifications and crushed marble of strictly selected granulometry and quality, enriched with special improving additives. • It complies with EN 12004-1 and is classified as a C2TE adhesive.
- The substrate must be clean and firm, and it is recommended that it is wetted before application. The contents of the bag are 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 left 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 needed 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 on walls after 8 hours.
- For even better quality results, see the relevant MARMOPLUS product.
• In bags of 20 kg, on pallets. • In a dry place where frost does not form, for 12 months from the date of production, in unopened bags
2.0-4.0 kg/m2, depending on the type and size of the tiles and the substrate.
