Ademix 104 Techflex

Deformable Ceramic & Tile Adhesive

This is a deformable and slip-resistant cement-based ceramic adhesive with extended open time and added polymer that it is improved with additional features.

It is used to bond materials such as marble, granite, ceramic tiles and other materials which will be used in pools or other interior or exterior horizontal and lateral surfaces plastered with lean concrete, ferroconcrete or cement plaster.

• Easy to apply

• Does not slip.

• High adhesion strength.

• Can be processed easily and for a long time.

• Due to its high polymer content, it has water impermeability. Can be used in wet areas and pools.

• It can be used when conducting ceramic applications on old ceramics.

• Due to its high elasticity, it is resistant to surface tensions that may occur due to sudden heat changes. It can be used in areas where there are sudden heat changes such as cold storages, shocking facilities, outer surfaces of ovens, and underfloor heating systems.

* These values are valid for 23 ° C and 50% relative humidity. Times may vary depending on ambient conditions.

-The application surface should be made clean from dust, dirt, oil, paint residue and other similar adherence reducing foreign materials.

– Care must be taken to ensure that the application surface is set.

– The surface must be moistened before application.

-The dusty surface behind the ceramic should be moistened and wiped.

25 kg ADEMIX TECHFLEX 104 is added slowly to 5.5-7.5 liters of water. The mixture is combined with a trowel or a low-speed mixer until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The homogeneously mixed mortar must be rested for 5 minutes and then mixed again to prepare it for application.

•The prepared mixture should be used within a maximum of 4 hours, and the mixtures that are waiting to be used during this period should be mixed intermittently. Any mortar which has started to harden or has ex-pired should not be used.

The prepared mixture should be spread on the surface with the flat part of the trowel to ensure good adhesion and then combed with a notched trowel suitable for the size of the tile to be used. Ceramics must be bonded to the combed mortar within 30 minutes. Good adhesion should be provided by applying pressure on the laid material by hand and applying force with a rubber hammer.

– The adhesive should be used by applying it to small batches, and any adhesives whose material bonding was delayed and has started to crust should be cleaned by scraping off from the surface.

– Bonding should be achieved by applying force on the combed mortar within 30 minutes. This period may be shorter in applications made in unsuitable ambient conditions such as high temperature, low humidity, and wind. Bonding process should not be performed on expired mortar and any such mortar should be scraped off the surface.

– The excess adhesive in the joint gaps should be scraped off before drying occurs and any mortar smeared on the surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth.

– Applications should not be carried out in temperatures below -5°C.

– Applications should not be made on surfaces that are exposed directly to sun and wind without taking protective measures.

– Foreign materials should never be mixed into the mortar.

– After the application, used tools should be washed with plenty of water before drying occurs.

– The grouting process can be started after 24 hours.

– Tiles bonded with Adamix Techflex 104 should not be exposed to water for at least 24 hours.

– Depending on the application location and the type of ceramic to be applied, double-sided bonding should be used.

* ADEMIX TECHFLEX White should be used for light-colored ceramic applications.

Do not breathe the product directly, as it is cement-based. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
