High quality nanotechnology cement based adhesive, grey color, monocomponent, enriched with mixtures enhancing potential of the product usage, resistant to instant temperature changes. Adhesive conforms to the requirements of AZS 039-2000 (TS-11140 - 1993) standard “Adhesives – cement based (hydraulic conjunction), suitable for glazed, ceramic, and floor tiles”.

• This ceramic adhesive can be applied in the following areas:
• Places with instant temperature changes (freezing – melting);
• Cold storehouses and ice-houses;
• Oven facing;
• Systems heated from below;
• Decoration of terraces and gardens;
• Adhesive bonding of different materials, such as floor and wall ceramic tiles, granite, fire-proof bricks, and decorative bricks onto such surfaces, as concrete, plaster, flooring plaster;
• Gluing of new ceramic tiles onto surfaces without removal of previously applied ceramic tiles.

• Can be used in places with instant temperature changes (freezing – melting);
• Irreplaceable adhesive, resistant to high and low temperatures, ideal for ovens and ice-houses;
• Easily applicable, does not require too much efforts;
• Resistant to freezing and warm weather conditions.

Preparation of the surfaces. Please pay attention to the surface to be used: it should be firm, dry, clean, and should have required dimensions; the surface should be totally free of fat and paraffin residues deteriorating adhesive force. In case the surface has 5-6 mm deep cracks or pores, they should be filled with Filkret repair mixture the day before use. In addition the surface to be used should first be dampened or primed with Binmader primer.

Preparation of the mixture. Carefully pour 25 kg of powder mix into 6.0 - 6.5 liters of water and mix till it is entirely homogeneous (to prepare the mixture it is recommended to use slow circulation mixer). Give the mixture 3-5 minutes to set, mix again before application.

Application. Apply thin coat of the mixture onto the surface using flat side of the trowel. Then trowel over the applied mixture with toothed side of the trowel according to the tile dimensions. It is recommended to use combined method of gluing for large-size tiles applied in areas with heavy temperature changes (according to this method adhesive is applied onto the surface and combed, and it is applied also onto the back side of the facing tile, whereupon the tile is pressed to the combed surface).

The right moment for gluing the tile onto the surface with applied mixture is defined by fingertip control (pressing) of the mixture. If the mixture sticks to the finger the tiles can be applied to the surface. This period should not exceed 30 minutes. In case the mixture applied to the surface has been coagulated, it should be scrapped, and tiles should be laid after repeated application of the mixture and combing it with a toothed trowel. Prepared mixture should be used within 3 hours. We do not recommend to use the mixture after this period expired and crust formed. Filling of joints can be executed: on walls in 24 hours after application of the mixture, and in 48 hours on floorings.

Recommendations. If at the time of application of MA Flex adhesive the environmental temperature exceeds the limits of +50C- +300C range, the required temperature should be provided. The adhesive should not be used in warm (above +300C), rainy and windy weather conditions. Ceramics having high moisture absorption degree should be saturated with water before use. After the useful life expiration the product in no case should be diluted with water or fresh powder mix. After use all hand tools and devices should be cleaned with water.

The product can be stored during 12 months packed in original sacks in dry conditions on wooden racks, maximum 10 sacks per rack.

• taking into consideration cement base and complex composition of the MA Flex adhesive mixture, immediately wash it with water in case of contact with skin or eyes;
• do not add to the mixture any substances not mentioned in the method of application;
• parameters indicated above have been received on the basis of laboratory tests conducted in the ambient conditions of +230C±20C temperature and 50% + 5% humidity. Depending on the actual ambient conditions these parameters are subject to change.
