New generation adhesive using the exclusive ELASTOMER technology. Grey powder, composed of concrete, selected graded sands, a high quantity of synthetic resins, elastomers and special additives. Mixed with water only, it turns into a grout with the following features: Extremely light: the elastomers contained in ADEFLEX S2 RAPIDO achieve a product 30% lighter in weight (30% volume more with the same weight) than a traditional adhesive. Lighter to transport (15 kg bags); lighter in the application, lower load on the structures; faster to mix with a lower mixer effort. Very high coverage: the high lightness enables to increase coverage by 30% compared to traditional adhesives. Classification C2FT according to the European Norm EN 12004. Perfect bonding with all ceramic materials and with almost all substrates commonly used in the building sector under any condition (C2). Top deformability: (classified S2 according to the European Norm EN 12004): excellent capacity of meeting the substrate and tile movements. High thixotropy: null tile slip (T). Tiles can be installed downwards, diagonally and with wide joints without using crosses nor shims. Rapid setting and hydration (F) High smoothness and creamy consistency, easy and light to spread, with reduced fatigue. Excellent distribution and coverage of the tile back sides even with large sized slabs: no gaps under the tiles, no seepage. For indoor and outdoor use. It improves noise decreasing. Single-component: the above described outstanding features are achieved by mixing it with water only without adding resins or liquid additives.
Indoor and outdoor installation of every type of ceramic material (porcelain stoneware, double firing, single firing, klinker). Indoor and outdoor installation of stone materials (if solid and humidity-proof). Installation of ceramic tiles on heating floors and cementitious renders. Spot bonding of insulating and/or sound-absorbing materials such as foam polyurethane and polystyrene, rock or glass wool, cork. Installation of floors with heavy traffic. Installation on deformable substrates: gypsum board, asbestos cement, marine-type plywood, wood composition panels (solid to water and not treated) and when it is necessary to reduce the load on the bearing structures. Installation of ceramic and solid stone material on facades, balconies, terraces and sun stone pavements, subject to direct sun rays and sudden temperature changes. Installation of wall and floor tiles requiring a rapid use (ready for traffic 5- 6 hours, ready for use 24 hours). Installation on prefabricated concrete walls and on cured concrete substrates. Installation of ceramic tiles on ceramic, stone material and terrazzo tiles (suitably prepared). Installation of wall and floor ceramic tiles on substrates water-proofed by ELASTOCEM.
