Ademix Waterproof Flex 106
Extremely Flexible Ceramic Adhesive For Waterproof
Ademix Waterproof Flex 106
Extremely Flexible Ceramic Adhesive For Waterproof
Description:
It is a cement based high performance and low slippage waterproofed ceramic adhesive mortar with added polymer and extended open time, and it is improved further with additional characteristics.
Areas of Use:
It is used to bond materials such as marble, granite with ceramic tiles which will be used in pools or other interior or exterior surfaces plastered with lean concrete, ferro-concrete or cement plaster.
Advantages of the Product:
Easy to apply
Does not slip.
Has high adhesion force.
Can be processed easily and for a long time.
Can be used in wet areas such as pools, Turkish baths, saunas, water tanks.
Thanks to its high polymer content, has water repellency. It provides water insulation in bonding applications in wet areas.
Can be used in ceramic applications on old ceramics.
Due to its high elasticity, it is resistant to surface tensions that may occur due to sudden heat changes. Can be used in areas where there are sudden heat changes such as cold storages, shock facilities, outer surfaces of ovens, and underfloor heating systems.

*These values are valid for 23°C of temperature and 50% relative humidity. Time periods may vary depending on ambient conditions.
Surface Preparation:
-The application surface should be made clean from dust, dirt, oil, paint residue, and similar foreign matters reducing adherence.
-It should be ensured that the application surface is set.
-The surface must be moistened before the application.
-The dusty surface behind the ceramic should be moistened and wiped.
Preparation of the Mixture:
25 kg of ADEMIX WATERPROOF FLEX 106 is slowly added to 6-7 liters of water. It is stirred until a homogeneous mixture is obtained with a trowel or a low-speed mixer, leaving no lumps. The homogeneously mixed mortar is rested for 5 minutes and then stirred again to make it ready 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 expired should not be used.
Application:
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 obtained by pressing on the laid material by hand and applying force with a rubber hammer.
-The adhesive should be used by applying to small areas, and any adhesive that delays material bonding and that has started to get crusty should be cleaned by scraping off from the surface.
– A layer with a thickness of 1-2 mm should be formed with a trowel in areas where water isolation is required. Corner joints in the application area should be rounded and reinforced with mortar mesh. The bonding process with ADEMIX WATERPROOF FLEX 106 should be started after waiting 24 hours.
– 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. The bonding process should not be performed on expired mortar and any such mortar should be scraped off from the surface.
-The excess adhesive in joint gaps should be scraped off before drying, and the mortars on the surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
-Applications should not be carried out in temperatures below 5°C.
– Without taking protective measures, applications should not be made on surfaces that are directly exposed to sun and wind.
-Foreign materials should never be mixed into the mortar.
-After application, all used tools should be washed with plenty of water before drying.
-Grouting can be started after 24 hours.
– Tiles bonded with ADEMIX WATERPROOF FLEX 106 should not be exposed to water for at least 24 hours.
-Depending on the location and the type of ceramic to be applied, double-sided bonding should be applied.
* ADEMIX WATERPROOF FLEX 106 White should be used in light colored ceramic applications.
