Flex

Acrylic elastomer-based product in water dispersion to be added to:

• Aquaproof for water-proofing and flexibilising cement coatings which are resistant to freezing and thawing cycles, to de-icing salts and to abrasion, with high adhesion to the background and high resistance to the diffusion of carbon dioxide. Flexibilised Aquaproof also maintains its flexibility at very low temperatures.
• Tile 250, Tile 350, Tile 600, Tile 450, Tile 480, Tile 700, Tile 900, T 50, T 250 and T 480 for creating highly flexible adhesive layers having high deformability and excellent adhesive strength on a wide range of substrates.

Aquaproof:
Internal, external, underground and overground superficial flexible water-proofing of cement backgrounds and protection of concrete and reinforced concrete against carbonation and the aggression of saline solutions. External water-proofing of foundations characterised by cracks caused by shrinkage or slight settling; renovation of old balconies or terraces in tamped cement by applying flexibilised Aquaproof and direct gluing of tiles with a flexibilised adhesive cement (avoiding the need to use plastic floating screed and, therefore, prevent problems of levels and weight); water-proofing of old cracked concrete swimming pools; protection of street kerbs against de-icing salts; renovation or preventive protection of balconies, steps and bridges against carbonation. Flexibilised Aquaproof is not recommended for surfaces in direct contact with drinking water as it can change the organoleptic characteristics of this water.

Tile 250, Tile 350, Tile 600, Tile 450, Tile 480, Tile 700, Tile 900, T 50, T 250 and T 480:
Flexible gluing, indoors and outdoors, of large and medium size porcelain and glazed stone ware tiles and ceramic tiles of all kinds and sizes, for floors and walls on substrates strongly subject to movement such as cement slabs for balconies and, terraces, building faces, prefabricated cement panels, plasterboard panels, cellular concrete, heated floors or cold storage rooms. Flexible gluing on walls and floors, indoors and outdoors, of natural stone, marble, resin and composite tiles, provided they are not sensitive to water or subject to staining or warping. Some typical applications are listed below: Gluing of natural stone or ceramic floor tiles on balconies or terraces after waterproofing treatment with Flex 2K, Flex 1K, Flexistar or Aquatech. Gluing of large ceramic tiles or natural stone slabs on building face using Flex as is. Gluing of ceramic floor and wall tiles in cold storage rooms, where the temperature maybe as low as -25 °C, using Flex as is. Laying or floors or manufactured items (such as handrails) of resin marble; gluing of ceramic elements on composite panels treated with Tile Primer, using Flex as is. Gluing of ceramic tiles on heated floors, prefabricated concrete walls, cellular concrete and in swimming pools using Flex diluted 1:1 with water. Gluing of ceramic tiles on gypsum or anhydrite surfaces treated with Tile Primer using Flex diluted 1:1.
