BX-EXTERNAL

Marble, Natural Stones and Recomposed Materials that are Subject to deformaon or staining due to water absorpon require a reacve adhesive.

Preparaon of the Surface

It is good practice to dampen highly absorbent concrete surfaces.
All surfaces must be sound and thoroughly clean before Tile Adhesive Ex. is applied.
All traces of grease or oil must be removed with suitable degreaser. All loose parcles of mortar, old wallpaper, paint etc., must be physically removed. In case of cemenous surfaces.

Highly Flexible, Multi Purpose, Adhesive To Fix Fully Vitrified Tiles And Natural Stone Of All Type And Size

COMPLIANT WITH EN 12004 STANDARD

To guarantee maximum adhesion

It is necessary to apply a sufficient layer of adhesive. Large, rectangular sizes with sides > 30 cm may require adhesive to be applied directly on the back surface of the le. Check samples to make sure the adhesive has been transferred to the back of the material.

Create elasc expansion joints

10 m² in external applications.
25 m² in internal applications.
every 8 metres in long, narrow applicaons Respect all structural, Fraconizing, and perimeter Joints present in the surfaces.

On surface subject to vibrations

On timber, metal, plastic or resilient materials, deformable surface or subject to vibrations. On screeds, plasters/renders, not yet cured concrete.

On surface subject to vibrations.
On plasterboard and fibre-cement slabs.
On smooth prefabricated concrete.

General Notices

Product for professional use.
abide by any standards and naonal regulaons.
Do not use the adhesive to correct surface irregularities greater than 10 mm.
Protect from direct rainfall for at least 24 hrs.
The temperature, ventilation absorption of the surface and covering materials to be fixed may cause variations in the adhesive workability and setting times.
use the right size of toothed trowel for the format of the le or slab.
guarantee a full-bed in all external laying operations.
if necessary, ask for the safety data sheet.
