Description

Arc Proflex Tile Adhesive White 20kg

Arc Pro-Flex is a white, flexible, regular-setting, cement-based,
highly polymer modified, thin-bed ceramic tile adhesive. It is
suitable for fixing all types of ceramic floor and wall tiles,
including mosaics, porcelain, fully vitrified tiles, marble, natural
stone, slate etc. Arc Pro-Flex is ideally suited for application
onto timber panels, plywood, concrete, block work, floor screeds
and power-floated concrete without the need to include a
flexible admixture in the mix. It has improved flexural strength,
water-resistance and is suitable for swimming pools, underfloor
heating applications and both interior & exterior use.

SURFACE PREPERATION
The substrate must be clean, firm and free of dust, dirt, oil, grease and loose flaking
coatings. Surfaces must also be structurally sound and strong enough to support
the traffic loading expected for the area concerned.
Pro-Flex can be applied to dry or damp surfaces, however, moisture sensitive
materials must be dry and remain dry after fixing. Worn or porous masonry surfaces
and old concrete floors should be sealed with Arc Tiler’s Primer.
Arc Pro-Flex can be applied to waterproof plywood. These should be dry, sealed on
all exposed faces and edges and primed using Arc Tiler’s Primer. Plywood must
always be waterproof rated, 18mm thick, screw fixed at 150mm centres and rigidly
braced to provide a dimensionally stable background as described in BS 5385.
Not suitable for application directly onto tongue and groove or floating floors.
Gypsum plaster should be scored with a wire brush and primed with Arc Tilers Primer
diluted 3 parts water to 1 part primer followed by a second neat coat.
New concrete floors should be allowed 28 days to fully cure. Do not allow any tiled
area to be water immersed for 14 days after fixing.
Underfloor heating areas should be turned off 48 hours prior to laying product, and for
1 week after the work has been completed. The temperature should be increased
gradually (5ºC per day) until the desired temperature is achieved.
All paint coatings should be removed from surfaces prior to tiling.
Anhydrite screeds must be confirmed dry via consistent moisture readings.
The residual moisture content must be less than 0.5%.
Remove any laitance from surface & ensure surface is free of any contaminants,
loose dust or dirt. Prime with 2 coats of Arc Tiler’s Primer, the first diluted 3 parts
water to 1 part primer followed by a neat coat. Allow to dry in between coats.
