Advantages & Benefits
- Has the ability to re-form its shape.
- High mechanical performance.
- Long shelf-life, even after opening.
- Great plasticity.
- Allows for rectification of pieces.
- Without off-hook.
Descriptive Memory
- Ceramic tiles shall be laid with ARGOCOLA ELITE 500 deformable adhesive, made by the company Argos derived from cement, class C2FTE S1 according to the UNE EN 12004 standard. The fixing substrate shall be sound, clean, free of friable parts, completely hardened and shall have completed its time of dimensional variation. The joints shall be respected. Ceramic tiles shall be laid with spacers for tile-to-tile joints.
Instruction for Use
- Mix ARGOCOLA ELITE 500 with 7.0-7.25 L (28-29%) of clean water per 25 kg bag manually or mechanically until a homogeneous, creamy and lump-free mixture is obtained.
- Allow to stand for 5 minutes before application.
- Comb the adhesive onto the substrate with a 6×6 mm notched trowel for small formats or 8×8 mm for formats larger than 40×40 cm. The adhesive is spread out in layers of approx. 1 m² so that the time that elapses between the application of the adhesive on the substrate and the laying of the tiles does not cause the adhesive to lose sufficient wettability for proper adhesion.
- The tiles should be pressed until the grooves of the adhesive are flattened.
Cleaning of Work Tools
- Fresh product, with water
- Dry product, scraping
