ARDEX X 7 S1 and ARDEX X 7 R S1 W are rapid-setting, flexible adhesives designed for wall and floor tiling applications. These adhesives are highly polymer-modified and feature S1 deformability, utilizing advanced fiber technology to enhance adhesion strength, grab, and non-slip properties. They offer an extended open and working time, accommodating larger mixes and application areas compared to standard rapid set adhesives. Notably, grouting can begin just three hours after installation. Classified to BS EN 12004 C2FES1 as “Improved fast-setting deformable cementitious adhesive with extended open time,” these products are suitable for both internal and external tiling.
Key Points:
- Rapid-Setting and Flexible: ARDEX X 7 S1 and ARDEX X 7 R S1 W provide quick-setting capabilities while maintaining flexibility, making them ideal for a variety of tiling projects.
- Extended Working Time: With a longer open time than standard adhesives, these products allow for larger application areas and the ability to grout after just three hours.
- High Adhesion Strengths: The adhesives exhibit impressive tensile adhesion strengths, meeting or exceeding 0.5 N/mm² early adhesion and 1 N/mm² after various stress tests, ensuring durability for both internal and external applications, including swimming pools.
- Wide Compatibility: These adhesives bond effectively to a range of materials such as concrete, cement/sand renders, and tile backer boards, making them suitable for installations subject to limited movement and vibration.
Coverage
A 20kg bag of ARDEX X 7 R S1 or ARDEX X 7 R S1 W will produce approximately 14.3 liters of mortar, which covers around 4.7m² at a bed thickness of 3mm. The material requirement is roughly 1.4kg of powder per m² for each mm of thickness. Please note that actual coverage may vary based on the surface texture and flatness, as well as the trowel used.
Storage and Shelf Life
To ensure optimal performance, ARDEX X 7 R S1 and ARDEX X 7 R S1 W should be stored in unopened packaging, elevated off the ground, in a cool, dry environment, and protected from excessive drafts. When stored properly, the shelf life is 12 months from the date indicated on the packaging.
