Rapid-Flex is a grey, flexible, rapid-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.

Rapid-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.

Application Methods

For fixing ceramic tiles or mosaics, use a notched trowel to give a ribbed mortar bed on the substrate into which the tiles are firmly bedded with a twist and slide action to ensure full contact. Use a 3mm x 3mm notch at 6mm centres for mosaics and thin flat backed wall tiling, a 5mm x 5mm notch at 10mm centres for general wall tiling and 10mm x 10mm notch at 16mm centres for floor tiling. The position of the tiles can be adjusted up to 10 minutes after initial fixing. Open time of the exposed mortar bed is approximately 20 minutes, depending on surface porosity and site conditions. It is recommended that tiles with raised or studded back profiles, (or in situations where dampness is likely after tiling), should be buttered to ensure solid bed fixing.
Do not trowel out an area of adhesive greater than can be tiled over within a 10 minute period. Surfaces such as rutted concrete and masonry block-work which are rough and uneven may first be levelled with Arc Floor Levelling Compound. Adhesive should not exceed 10mm in depth. Back-butter large format tiles and natural stone tiles to achieve maximum bonding.

Coverage

When fixing on a level, even floor surface using a 10mm notched trowel, it will cover at a rate of about 4kg per square metre for heavy duty studded tiles. When applying wall tiles, the product will cover at about 3kg per square metre.

Grouting

Grouting may proceed as soon as the tile bed is sufficiently firm. This will depend on temperatures and site conditions but is normally around 3-4 hours. Arc have a range of recommended floor and wall grouts.
