ARKIMAX PORCELÁNICO is a high-performance cementitious adhesive specially formulated for the installation of porcelain and ceramic wall tiles with low or no absorption. Its high adhesion, mechanical strength, and workability make it ideal for demanding applications on floors and walls, both indoors and outdoors. Its extended open time allows for a safer and more controlled installation.
Modified Portland cement, mineral aggregates with controlled grain size, and special additives that improve adhesion, open time, and final strength.
Ideal for porcelain, low-absorption tiles and natural stone
Applicable on interior and exterior floors and walls

Support preparation:
Make sure the surface is firm, clean, dry, and free of contaminants and loose parts. Remove all traces of dust or grease.
Mix:
Add 5.0 to 5.5 liters of clean water per 25 kg bag. Mix with a mechanical mixer until a smooth paste is obtained. Let stand for 5-10 minutes and mix again before applying.
Application:
Spread the adhesive onto the substrate with the smooth side of the trowel, then spread it with the notched side (minimum 10 mm for large pieces). For large-format or low-absorption pieces, double gluing is recommended.
Curing and finishing:
Avoid traffic for the first 24-36 hours. Grout after 36-48 hours.
Do not apply if the ambient temperature is less than 5 °C or greater than 35 °C
