FAQ
What is Trufix 220 Plus Grey?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey is a premium, highly flexible, polymer-modified cementitious tile adhesive designed for fixing a wide range of tiles on interior and exterior floor and wall substrates. It provides excellent bonding strength, deformability, and water resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications and large format tiles.
What are the key features of Trufix 220 Plus Grey?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey is a grey-colored, high-performance tile adhesive with enhanced flexibility, excellent non-sag properties, extended open time, and improved water resistance. It can accommodate minor substrate movements, vibrations, and thermal expansions without cracking or debonding.
What are the advantages of using Trufix 220 Plus Grey over regular tile adhesives?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey offers several advantages over regular tile adhesives, such as:
- Higher bonding strength and shear resistance
- Greater flexibility and deformability to withstand substrate movements
- Improved non-sag properties for vertical applications and large format tiles
- Extended open time for easier installation and adjustments
- Enhanced water resistance for wet area applications
- Compatibility with a wide range of tile types and sizes
What substrates can Trufix 220 Plus Grey be used on?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey can be used on various stable, dry, or damp substrates, including concrete, cement screed, cement backer board, brick masonry, cement plaster, gypsum plasterboard, and existing ceramic tile or natural stone surfaces. It is also suitable for use on heated floors and exterior applications.
What tile types can be fixed with Trufix 220 Plus Grey?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey is compatible with a wide range of tiles, including ceramic, porcelain, vitrified, mosaic, glass, and natural stones like marble, granite, and limestone. It is particularly recommended for large format tiles, thin tiles, and tiles with low water absorption.
How is Trufix 220 Plus Grey mixed and applied?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey is mixed with clean water in the ratio of 4.5-5 parts of powder to 1 part of water by volume to obtain a lump-free, creamy consistency. The adhesive is then spread on the substrate using a notched trowel, and the tiles are pressed firmly into the adhesive bed, ensuring complete coverage and a uniform thickness.
What is the recommended notched trowel size for applying Trufix 220 Plus Grey?
The recommended notched trowel size for applying Trufix 220 Plus Grey depends on the size of the tiles and the substrate condition. For tiles up to 600 mm x 600 mm, use a 12 mm x 12 mm square-notched trowel. For larger tiles or uneven substrates, a larger notch size or a back-buttering technique may be necessary to ensure proper coverage and support.
What is the open time and pot life of Trufix 220 Plus Grey?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey has an extended open time of approximately 30-40 minutes at 30°C, allowing more time for installation and adjustments. The pot life of the mixed adhesive is around 3 hours at 30°C. Do not add more water or use the adhesive beyond its pot life.
How long does Trufix 220 Plus Grey take to set and cure?
Trufix 220 Plus Grey sets in 24 hours and achieves full bond strength in 14 days at 30°C and 50% relative humidity. The tiles can be grouted after 24 hours, and the tiled area can be subjected to light foot traffic after 48 hours. Protect the tiled surface from water exposure and heavy loads during the curing period.
Is Trufix 220 Plus Grey suitable for use in swimming pools or external facades?
Yes, Trufix 220 Plus Grey is highly water-resistant and suitable for use in swimming pools, water tanks, and external facades exposed to weather conditions. Its enhanced flexibility and bonding strength make it ideal for demanding applications subject to thermal variations, vibrations, or movements.
