Highly flexible deformable gel adhesive 2-15 mm (C2TE S1 type). ATLAS ULTRA GEOFLEX recipe contains unique siliceous gel technology. The siliceous gel offers exceptional ability of water retention. The gel fills pores formed at the stage of adhesive binding by the net of inorganic bonds. The accumulation of part of mixing water ensures full cement hydration, regardless the cladding type in use. Owing to the appropriate water management, which is necessary for the binding process completion, gel adhesive assures perfect bonding to substrates.
The main characteristics
- for any type and size of tiles – ceramic, stone, glass, etc.
- for particularly difficult substrates: old tiles, terrazzo, plasterboards, OSB and damp proofing
- the widest range of use: on floor heating, terraces, in swimming pools
- no slip even in case of mega large cladding
- Highly flexible – deformability S1 – compensates substrate deformation and internal stress.
- Wide range of adhesive thickness (2-15 mm) enables:
- thin-coat cladding fixing on even substrates,
- thin-coat cladding fixing on uneven substrates, preceded by substrate floating,
- thick-coat cladding fixing on uneven substrates, with no need of substrate floating.
- No slip of cladding made of tiles of any type, including large size and stone ones – enables fixing the cladding “from the top” with no need of support at the fixing stage.
- Perfect stabilization of large size tiles (even > 1 m²) fixed on horizontal surfaces – tiles do not sink in the mortar layer.
- Foot traffic and grouting just after 12 hours – owing to accelerated process of adhesive setting and drying.
Unique Gel Technology
ATLAS ULTRA GEOFLEX recipe contains unique siliceous gel technology. The siliceous gel offers exceptional ability of water retention.
The use of siliceous gel technology gives foloowing the advantages:
- possibility of fixing cladding of any type, both absorbable and non-absorbable,
- possibility of optimum adaptation of the adhesive consistency to individual contractor’s preferences and actual needs resulting from particular use, by dosing water within a range much wider than in case of traditional adhesives,
- full adhesive spreading beneath tiles, which improves adhesion and bond durability, particularly in case of outdoor use,
- safe cladding fixing on substrates exposed to direct sunlight, both during tiling and adhesive setting (e.g. on balconies, terraces, etc.).
