Definitions
Open timeTime between the moment the adhesive was applied and the moment it has no more tack (end of possible laying the covering)
PrimerLiquid or paste applied onto a substrate to obtain optimum bonding. It helps regulate the porosity of the substrate (reduce absorption, therefore adhesive usage), increase adhesion to non porous surfaces, improves application properties of later on applied adhesive
Tiling

Uses

ARDAFIX PLUS is a tiling adhesive designed for bonding small and large-format ceramic tiles (formats up to 2,000 cm², i.e. 44×44 cm) on interior walls and floors.
Suitable for private basins and swimming pools.
Interior walls: suitable for application on cement-based coatings, standard or waterproof plasterboards, terracotta tiles, cellular concrete.
Interior floors: suitable for application on concrete slab, cement screed without underfloor heating or on self-levelling compounds.

Benefits

Suitable for standard porosity tiles
Easy to apply
C1- TE Classification (long open time and good non-slip properties)

Properties

Physical:

Aspect: grey or white powder
Open time: approx. 30 min.*
Adjustment possible during: approx. 20 min.*
Pot life: approx. 3 hours*
Ready for grouting: approx. 24 hours*

* at 23°C and 50% RH conditions.

Application precautions:
- Do not use under rain, during frost or on substrates exposed to direct sunlight or wind.
- By hot and dry weather, moisten the substrates 1 to 2 hours before tiling.

Consumption:

3.5 to 7 kg/m² according to application method and tile size.

Safety:

IMPORTANT: before embarking on any work involving ARDAFIX Plus the separate Product Safety Data Sheet must be studied carefully by those carrying out the work. Observe good hygiene in use. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Shelf life:

Up to 1 year in unopened original packaging, stored in dry conditions, protected from sunlight.

Application

Susbstrate preparation
As a general rule and in compliance with professional rules, substrates must be even, clean, dry and free of grease and alkaline laitance. For porous or friable substrate, apply ADRAPRIM R or ARDAPREN NF primer (see table).
Caution: not suitable on wood, paint, fiber cement, metal, polyester, film-forming coating <= 3 mm

Application conditions:

INTERIOR WALLS Maximum tile weight: 40 kg/m²	Glass mosaic	Terracotta tiles	Vitrified tiles (porosity > 0.5%) Natural stone (porosity > 5%)
	One side application	One side application	One side application	Double side application
	Maximum tile size (cm²)
Cement and lime cement, plasterboard (standard or waterproof), terracotta tiles, cellular concrete	120	300	500	2000

* Direct bonding is possible if the covering on other side of the wall is not sensitive to water.

INTERIOR FLOORS	Glass mosaic	Terracotta tiles	Vitrified tiles (porosity > 0.5%)
	One side application	One side application	One side application	Double side application
	Maximum tile size (cm²)
Slab or screed without underfloor heating, self-levelling compound (class P3 or higher performance)	120	120	1100	2000

Interior floor with siphons: inclined surfaces >= 1 cm/m
For premises over crawl-space, unheated premises, floors with radiant electric underfloor heating systems use ARDAFLEX HPS.

Mixing ratio: 6 to 6.5 litres of clean water for 25 kg (1.2 to 1.3 liters for 5 kg bags).
Use a notched trowel to spread and adjust the thickness of the tiling adhesive on the substrate, working no more than 1 to 2 m² at a time.
Use double side application process for interior floor tiles with formats greater than 1,100 cm², and for interior wall tiles with formats greater than 500 cm².
Position the tiles on tiling adhesive within specified open time and press / tap or roll over them to ensure a perfect transfer. Allow the mortar to set completely (24 hours minimum) before grouting.
