For the installation of floor and wall porcelain tiles, and for fixing of ceramic tiles, mosaic tiles and stone materials. Note that ARMORLATEX is required when ARMORFIX-109 Flex is used on wood, plasterboard and gypsum plaster
The substrate must be fully cured and well prepared, it must be sound, clean, structurally stable, f ree f rom dirt, loose particles, efflorescence, chemicals and other contaminants, in order to ensure proper bonding. Standard practice requires at least seven weeks before tiling on concrete and two weeks before tiling on screed.
Pour ARMORFIX-109 Flex into a clean plastic or metal bucket containing clean water, pour adequate quantity of ARMORFIX-109 Flex that can be used within the pot life of 4 hours. 20kg of ARMORFIX -109 Flex requires approximately 5 litres of water. Stir with a mixing device or by hand. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes and restart briefly before application. No further water should be added after mixing.
Spread ARMORFIX -109 Flex tile adhesive mortar evenly over 1m2 area at a time using a notched trowel. Fix tiles immediately within the open time of 20- 40 minutes. Please be sure that all areas are covered with ARMORFIX -109 Flex.
GROUTING
Grouting should be done 24 hours after tiling, for SWIMMING pool leave at least 3 days before grouting and at least one week before filling.
For thin solid bed application (3mm thickness) 4-5kg of ARMORFIX -109 Flex will cover approximately 1m2.
Large tiles may need to have the adhesive buttered to the back as well. Ensure that tiles are well bedded into the adhesive. See further information in the technical section below
