ARKIMAX FLEX is a flexible cementitious adhesive mortar formulated with special polymers for highly demanding installations requiring maximum adhesion, strength, and movement absorption. Ideal for installing porcelain, natural stone, ceramic, and marble, both indoors and outdoors, including terraces, facades, balconies, and wet areas.
Formulation based on Portland cement, selected mineral fillers with controlled granulometry and powdered polymers that provide high flexibility and mechanical resistance.
• High flexibility for critical supports and variable conditions
• Ideal for porcelain, natural stone and marble

Surface Preparation:
Make sure the substrate is clean, dry, firm, and free of dust, grease, paint, or any residue that could interfere with adhesion. Outdoors, avoid hot surfaces or direct sunlight.
Mix:
Add 5.0 to 5.5 liters of clean water per 25 kg bag. Mix with a mechanical mixer until you obtain a smooth, lump-free paste. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes and mix again before applying.
Application:
Spread the adhesive with the flat side of the trowel and then spread it with the notched side appropriate for the size of the piece. For large sizes or critical areas, also apply adhesive to the back of the piece (double bonding).
Curing and finishing:
Avoid traffic and contact with water for at least 36 hours. Grout after 36 to 48 hours.
• Do not apply at temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C
• Do not apply in the rain or in the presence of rising damp
• Do not mix with cement, plaster or other products
• Use the same batch to avoid color or texture differences
Available in 25 kg bags.
