UltraTile ProFlex S2 ES is a single part, standard setting, flexible, fibre reinforced adhesive for wall and floor tiles. It is specially formulated with enhanced adhesion and flexibility, making it ideal for areas where slight movement or vibration can occur.
Key Features:
Classified as S2 in accordance with EN12004 it has the highest level of deformation for exceptional tolerance to movement. UltraTile ProFlex S2 ES has a unique blend of polymers giving it superior bonding and slip resistance performance in combination with an extended range tile types in wet or dry conditions. Ideal for interior & exterior applications. It is able to take light foot traffic within 18 hours of installation depending upon temperature and substrate.
NB: Porous natural stone tiles need to be checked for compatibility to avoid staining.

PRIMING
UltraTile ProPrimer has been specifically developed to be used as a primer for use with cementitious tile adhesives to provide improved sealing and bonding properties for a variety of substrates.
For Porous Substrates: Prime with 2 coats of UltraTile ProPrimer.
The first coat should be diluted 1pt primer to 3 pts clean water (by volume) and allowed to dry for minimum period of 1 hour. When dry apply a second coat diluted 1pt:1pt (by volume) and leave for 1 hour to dry before continuing the tiling process
Includes: Plaster, Skimmed Plasterboard, Plasterboard, Sand/ Cement, Calcium Sulphate Screeds, Cement Backer Boards, Render and other open textured substrates.
For Non-Porous & Low Porous Substrates: We recommend UltraTile ProPrimer in a single, neat application.
Includes: Cured Epoxy DPMs. Tile on Tile applications, Foil Faced Insulation Boards, Plywood Floor Overboarding, Plywood Walls.
NB: Please see technical data sheet for UltraTile ProPrimer for coverage rate details. If in doubt as to the need for priming please consult UltraTile Technical Department.
MIXING
Once the substrate has been prepared, continue with the tiling installation.
UltraTile ProFlex S2 ES should be added slowly to clean water in a suitable clean mixing tub and mixed thoroughly using a drill/mixer and paddle to give a slump free, easily worked mortar consistency. Once mixed the mortar is immediately ready for use and has a pot life of approximately 120 minutes at 20°C. Mix only sufficient material to be used within the pot life of the product.
Do not remix or re-wet/dilute product which has aged and is starting to thicken or set.
Mixing Ratio: 20kg unit requires 5.0L of water.
APPLICATION
Apply the adhesive to the required thickness (limits 3mm – 20mm) in areas up to 1mm at a time. For internal walls use a notched trowel to the following notch dimensions to provide solid rib lines:
Mosaic tiles: 3mm x 3mm at 6mm centres
General wall tiles: 5mm x 5mm at 10mm centres
General floor tiles: 8mm x 8mm at 16 mm centres
For floors & external applications we advise to use the solid bed method.
This involves applying a uniform bed of adhesive to the floor and “buttering” the back of the tile with the same adhesive. When the tiles are bedded with a twisting action, pressing firmly down it ensures 100% contact is made with both the floor and the tile.
When fitting tiles leave spaces between each the tiles to allow for grouting (approx: Walls 1mm-3mm & Floors 2mm-12mm).
Before the tiles adhesive sets clean off the excess adhesive from the face of the tile and grout joints with a clean damp cloth or sponge.
