TECHNICAL FEATURES:

BENFERFLEX RAPIDO is a flexible adhesive with high strength cements, graded particle size aggregates, special sintetic resins and additives. Its formula has been studied and developed to lay quickly and safely marble, gres, natural stones, porcelain and ceramic tiles even on non-absorbent and variable surfaces. Suitable for application on wooden boards, chipboard, plywood.

AREAS OF APPLICATION:

Laying of rapid hardening porcelain stoneware, one-fired ceramic tiles and water stable natural stones on:
• Interior and exterior walls and floors
• Heavy duty areas
• Wooden surfaces subject to slight deformation
• Heated screed with heated water system or electric system

Floor and wall coverings must be applied with a flexible, fast setting, cement based adhesive, classified C2FTE S1 in accordance with EN 12004, like BENFERFLEX
RAPIDO by Benfer. 

SUITABLE SUBSTRATES:

• Concrete
• Cement-based screeds, standard or heated with water system or electric resistance
• Cement-based plaster
• Flexible waterproofing membranes made up of concrete and polymers (ACQUASHIELD-2KF)
• Concrete blocks

INSIDE ONLY:
• Fluid cement-based screeds (prior application of an appropriate primer if demanded),
standard or heated with water system or electric resistance
• Wooden boards
• Wooden substrates
• Old ceramic tiles (prior application of an appropriate primer if demanded)
• Standard or waterproof plasterboard
• Elastomeric waterproofing membranes (ACQUASHIELD-GEL)

MAXIMUM SIZES:

• Internal floors with maximum length of longest tile side up to 360 cm
• External floors with maximum length of longest tile side up to 120 cm
• Internal walls with maximum length of longest tile side up to 360 cm
• External walls with maximum length of longest tile side up to 90 cm
Verify the limits of tile size according the type of coating and the substrate on the “selection
guide” table.

METHOD OF USE:

SUBSTRATES PREPARATION:

The substrates must be solid, free from oil, grease and dust. Any paint-work must be in good condition, washed and degreased. If this is not the case, the paint must be removed. Do not use on gypsum, anhydrite. Do not use on plastics or metals. Absorbent substrates must be treated with BENFERPRIM. Do not use on substrates which are subject to rising damp. Wooden substrates must be solid, with an adequate thickness and firmly attached to the substrate, so that the deflection is
minimized.

MIXTURE PREPARATION:

Mix BENFERFLEX RAPIDO Grey with 26% of water (5.2 litres of water for one 20 kg bag of powder), White 28% of water (5.6 litres of water for one 20 kg bag of powder) until the mixture has a uniform, gloss appearance and plastic consistency. The adhesive is now ready for use, andremains workable for approximately 30 minutes.
