Product Application:

Product Preparation

SOLOFLEX is mixed with clean water until a clump-tree pasty mortar is obtained.

Mixing ratio:

1.00 | water to 3.55 kg SOLOFLEX

7.00 | water to 25 kg SOLOFLEX

After a short period of maturing (approx. 3 min) the mixture has to be stirred again. Do not cover more surface than required, keeping within the working time of up to 60 minutes. The ready to use adhesive is applied with surface continuity and troweled with a suitable toothed trowel. The tiles are to be affixed with light pressure. For tiling of swimming pools, the spacings between the tiles requires correct and quick handling, so that all tiles may be layed in the time given for the adhesive to set.
