Karofix® Power Flex Ultra Cement-Based S2 Class Flexible Adhesive Mortar with High Adhesion Strength

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.

It may be applied on dry and wet areas (baths, swimming pools, water tanks, terrace, etc.), cement-based plasters and concrete surfaces, floorings with floor heating system, floors exposed to high level of traffic (hotels, hospitals, offices, schools, sports halls, etc.), areas with thermal shock risk, cold storage rooms, floors exposed to vibration, and applications of ceramics over ceramics.

REQUIREMENTS

It is ideal for coating materials such as large-sized ceramics, granite and porcelain ceramics, marble, travertine.

It provides high performance in ceramic-on-ceramic bonding.

Thanks to its flexible structure (S2), it provides very high adhesion performance.

It is water and frost resistant.

It provides excellent performance on floors subject to heavy traffic.

It can be used safely in cold storage.
