KAROFiX® MULTi FLEXDouble-Component High Performance Highly Elastic Adhesive Mortar

APPLICATION FIELD

  • Provides superior performance in fixing of coating materials such as ceramic, granite, porcelain ceramic, marble, travertine etc. at all sizes on horizontal and vertical surfaces for interior and exterior areas.
  • Thanks to its highly flexible structure, it may be applied on environments that require high strength, on high façades, on cement-based plaster, screed and concrete floors, floors exposed to high level of traffic (hotels, hospitals, offices, schools, sports halls, etc.), areas with thermal shock risk such as floorings with floor heating system and cold storage rooms, floors exposed to vibration, and applications of ceramics over ceramics.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Has double components.
  • Ideal for big sized coating materials such as ceramic, granite, porcelain ceramic, marble, travertine etc. Provides a high adhesion performance with its highly flexible structure (S2).
  • Provides a safe adhesion on high façades. Suitable to be used in areas with frequent differences in temperatures.
  • Resistant to water and freezing.
  • Provides high performance at floors exposed to high level of traffic.
  • May be used safely in cold storage rooms. It has a long application time. Reduced sliding properties.

APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION  

  • The surface shall always be free of form oil, dust, paint and materials that reduce adherence.
  • Repair of the cracks and holes shall be made using appropriate Entegre Repair Mortars before application.
  • Application surface shall be dampened with water, if required.
  • PRIMEL 100® shall be applied before application on surfaces that are not resistant to moisture such as plasterboard, cardboard, gypsum plasters etc. and the fixing operation is started when drying is complete (after approx. 24 hours).

PREPARATION of the MORTAR  

  • KAROFIX® MULTI FLEX FLUID COMPONENT shall be put to the mixing vessel first, then KAROFIX® MULTI FLEX POWDER shall be added (7 kg fluid component/25 kg bag) and it shall be stirred until the lumps are removed.
  • Stir again to achieve a homogeneous mixture after waiting for 5 minutes for the maturation of mixed mortar.
  • The mortar prepared shall be applied up to a thickness of 8 mm, it shall be combed and ceramic shall be fixed.
  • For a good adhesion, application shall be performed by applying force on the surface with a rubber hammer.
  • Double sided fixing shall be used for coatings greater than 60x60 cm2.

RECOMMENDATION

  • No other materials than these two components (lime, cement, gypsum, etc.) shall be added.
  • Mortar shall not be used again by mixing with water or dry mortar if its application time has expired.
  • You shall wait at least 24 hours for joint application.
  • May be used for coatings with water absorption of ≤0.5 and > 0.5 (ceramic, granite and porcelain ceramic, marble, etc.).
  • Coating area for applications at a height of 15 m ≤ 3600 cm², Coating area for applications at a height of 30 m ≤ 1600 cm²
  • We recommend that the application shall be performed between +5°C and +35°C.
  • For an ideal application, coating material shall be fixed to the mortar applied on the surface within 30 minutes.
  • We recommend you to take additional mechanical precautions for heights over 15 m.
  • It shall not be applied on frozen surfaces.
  • Do not apply under direct sunlight.
  • Do not go beyond the application field and the rules.
