Description:
- ATLAS GEOFLEX adhesive formulation uses the innovative technology of silicate gel. The silicate gel has the unique ability to bind water. The gel fills the pores formed at the stage of adhesive setting through the network of inorganic bonds. Accumulation of a part of the mixing water ensures complete cement hydration, regardless of the type of the tiles. Thanks to appropriate water management, which is necessary to complete the setting process, the gel adhesive ensures full adhesion to substrates of various absorbency levels.
- The use of silicate gel technology offers the following benefits:
• the possibility of fitting any type of cladding, both absorbent and non-absorbent,
• it is possible to adjust the consistency of the adhesive to the individual preferences of the contractor and the needs of the project, by dosing water over a much wider range than with traditional adhesives,
• achieving a full spread of adhesive under the tiles, which improves the adhesion and durability of the fixing, especially in external applications,
• safe bonding of tiles on substrates exposed to direct sunlight, both during tiling work and while the adhesive mortar is setting (e.g. on balconies, terraces, etc.).
Main properties:
- for the most demanding substrates – OSB, floors with underfloor heating
- 2 possible mixing ratios = 2 textures
- grouting after 12 hours
- very good spread underneath the tile
- No cladding run-off – provides the opportunity to glue the cladding from the top, without the need to support it at the installation stage.
- 3 in 1 evening-up / tile application / evening-up and tile application in one step
- application temperature 5-35 stopni
- for small, medium and big tiles
- foil bag

Consumption:
The values below will be true only on correctly prepared, even substrate. If the substrate is highly textured the consumption will increase. When using the combination tiling method the consumption will increase significantly.
Average consumption:
- Mosaic tiles 2x2cm fitted on the wall, trowel notch 4mm, 1.3 kg/m2
- Tiles 30x60cm fitted on the wall, trowel notch 8mm, 2.5 kg/m2
- Tiles 60x60cm fitted on the floor, trowel notch 12mm, 3.5 kg/m2
- “Wood Parquet” Tiles e.g. 20x90cm fitted on the floor, trowel notch 12mm, 4.6 kg/m2 (semi-liquid texture – 8.25 l water per 25 kg adhesive)
