Recommended Systems
Mix Keraflex Maxi S1 with clean water until a smooth, lump-free paste is obtained. Leave to rest approximately 5 minutes and re-stir. Use approximately 5.5 litres of water for every 20 kg of powder. Mixed this way, Keraflex Maxi S1 has a pot life of approximately 8 hours. To achieve good adhesion, spread a thin layer of Keraflex Maxi S1 on the substrate using the straight edge of the trowel. Immediately after, apply the desired thickness of Keraflex Maxi S1 using a suitable notched trowel, depending on the type and size of the tiles. For outdoor ceramic tiling, sizes greater than 300×300 mm, floors must be subject to heavy loads, or when applying in swimming pools and basins filled with water, spread the adhesive on the back of the tile (back-buttering) in order to ensure a complete coverage.
Mapei Keraflex Maxi can be used on internal or external surfaces and is ideal for larger porcelain tiles, the easily workable, slip resistant formula hardens even when applied thickly with minimal shrinkage.
