The product contains no chlorides, ferrous particles or other materials which could be toxic for users or damage equipment it comes into contact with. It is CE marked as C2TE adhesive according to EN 12004 (cementitious adhesive, improved adhesion, no vertical sliding and extended open time).
Applications
Aderflex is used to bond ceramic, marble, terracotta, porcelain stoneware, clinker and homogeneous tiles to cement-based plaster and render coats/screeds in internal and external applications, as well as to gypsum and scagliola plaster coats, heated screeds and substrates waterproofed with Betonfix 300 or Kimicover line products.

Certifications
Aderflex è marcato CE secondo la norma UNI EN 12004 come adesivo C2TE (adesivo cementizio, ad aderenza migliorata, con scivolamento verticale nullo e tempo aperto prolungato).
Application
Concrete substrates have to cure at least 28 days and chalk plasters must not have a moisture content exceeding 10%. Aderflex should be applied to solid, well-anchored compact substrates free of dust, grease, wax, old flaking coats of paint, or any other material which could impair the quality of the bond. Treat substrates with one coat of Kimitech ACR in case of: gypsum or scagliola plaster/render coats, flaking substrates, when laying at very high ambient temperatures (more than 30°C), and on highly absorbent substrates. Scrape or sandblast the surface to remove any previous paint or adhesive coats. When preparing the product, add the amount of clean water shown in the table then mix carefully with a low-rev mechanical stirring device (200-300 RPM) until the mixture is even and smooth. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then mix again quickly before applying. Apply the product using a toothed spreader of a proper size being careful to spread a thin, even layer with the smooth side of the spreader first then go back over it with the toothed side. In external applications and when laying large-format or interlocking tiles, two layers of the product are required, i.e. apply to the substrate and to the tile back. The tile should be laid in position when the adhesive is still wet, and never when a surface film has already formed
