Aceflex Ultra


Description

A brilliant, single component, water resistance thin-bed wall and floor tile adhesive that remains flexible after curing. It is designed particularly for substrates which are subject to some movement like expansion, contraction or vibration. It is suitable for all kind of tiles including glass, porcelain, engineered marbles etc and natural stones to bond over most demanding and difficult-to-bond dry wall substrates for interior and exterior applications. It does not have any height limits for tile installation.

Advantages:
  • Single component, just add water at site. No any additives required.
  • Excellent quality, Easy to fix, tile does not slip.
  • Suitable for both floor and wall, interior and exterior and submerged application.
  • Excellent handling characteristics through extended open and adjustment time.
  • Ideal for all type of tile and stones, suitable for tile on tile, tile on glass or vice-versa.
  • Outstanding flexibility with high strength for most difficult-to-bond substrates.
  • Easy mixing with liquid, nice consistency.
  • Very good mechanical property.

Mixing

Use 4.5 – 5 ltr of water for mixing 20 kg powder. Take water in a 20 ltr clean pail and pour powder slowly to the pail under slow mixing. Mix by hand or use a low speed drill mixer (150 – 200 rpm speed) to achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency. Let the homogeneously mixed adhesive mixture slake or stand 5-10 minutes, stir again and use. Stir occasionally, but do not add more water. When properly mixed, troweled ridges will stand without slump.

Use a required size notch trowel to ensure proper coverage under tiles. Using the flat side of the trowel, apply a skim coat of mortar to the surface. With the help of properly notched or teeth side of the trowel held at a 45° angle, apply additional mortar to the surface, combing in one direction. Press the tile firmly into place in a perpendicular motion across ridges, moving back and forth. The perpendicular motion flattens ridges and closes valleys, allowing maximum coverage. With some tile, back-buttering is advisable. Adjust the tile promptly and beat it in with a beating block and rubber mallet. Periodically pull up a tile and check the back to ensure proper adhesive coverage. If the material has skinned over, recombining with the notch trowel. If too dry, remove and replace the dry material with fresh material. Material in the bucket will remain workable for approximately 3- 4 hours.

  • Interior and exterior applications for floor and wall.
  • For dry wall board like gypsum, calcium silicate, cement particle board, glass tile, large format porcelain, ceramic and all type of natural stones.
  • For facades, tile on tile and submerged application

Surface preparation

Surfaces must be structurally strong. Remove all grease, oil, dirt, curing compounds, sealers, adhesives or any other contaminant that would prevent good bonding. Glossy or painted surfaces must be sanded, or abraded, and stripped off all contaminants. Concrete or plaster must be cured 28 days prior to bonding unless it is made with Acescreed or Aceplast Premium. Concrete must be free of efflorescence and not subject to hydrostatic pressure. Concrete slabs should have a course finish to enhance the bond. Roughen the surface by sanding or abrading, then rinse and allow to dry. Expansion joints should never be bridged with setting material. Surface temperature should be maintained above 10° C or below 38° C to achieve proper bond. For questions about proper installation, call Technical Services executives on +91 963 260 5577.

Pack size:

Available in 20 kg bags in grey and white colour.

Shelf life:

12 months if stored in cool and dry area in unopened bag. Shelf life is calculated from the month of manufacturing of the product.

Coverage:

Approximately 3 sft per 1 kg for 3 mm bed thickness. Coverage will vary depending on surface undulation and application variances.

Curing and protection:

Curing time is affected by ambient, surface temperatures and humidity. Generally, light foot traffic can be allowed in 16 hours at 25°C, normal foot traffic in 24 hours and heavy foot traffic in 7days after installation.

Grouting:

Grouting can be done after 24 hrs of installation of tiles. Use Acegrout superfine series grout for up to 3mm joints and Acegrout coarse series grout for 3 – 12 mm joints. Use Acepoxy Epoxy grout for stain and chemical resistance, hygienic grout. Please call customer service executive for more information.
