Description
Resinflex Two Pack is a flexible, rubber-based adhesive used to bond all types of ceramic and natural stone tiles to a multitude of substrates. Its soft underfoot feel makes it ideal to deaden sound transfer of ceramic tiles in multi-storey buildings. When mixed, Resinflex Two Pack is non flammable and mould resistant.

Precautions
Resinflex Two Pack is unsuitable for:
- Bonding to moisture sensitive green marble;
- bonding to MDF board, (timber and wax impregnated wood must be sheeted with fibre cement sheeting);
- substrates subject to constant water immersion such as swimming pools.
Surface Preparation
All surfaces to be tiled must be flat and true, free from oil, dirt, grease or any other contaminants. Very porous surfaces should be primed with Plastinex (1 part Plastinex mixed with 4 parts water).
Concrete : New concrete must be allowed to cure for 6 weeks and should have a wood flat finish. When finished with a steel trowel, concrete must be acid etched, use Floor Prep.
Cement Render : Render to be left with a wood float finish and allowed to cure for 7 days.
Fibre Cement Sheets : Compressed fibre sheets should be primed with Plastinex (1 part Plastinex mixed with 4 parts water) and all joints to be taped with PVC duct tape and fixed according to manufacturer's instructions.
Plasterboard : Must be fixed as per manufacturer's instructions. Jointing compound must be primed with Plastinex.
Painted Surfaces : Must be scabbled to expose at least 80% of the original substrate. (Refer to Morgan Adhesives)
Tilt Up Slabs : Release agents on the surface can be a problem if not removed properly (e.g. silicone based products, diesel, etc.) liaise with the builder to find out which one has been used and remove it accordingly (e.g. using manufacturer's directions). Only then can tiling commence.
Tile over Tile : Tiles should be thoroughly cleaned with a commercial cleaner such as Sugar Soap.
Vinyl Flooring : Any loose debris should be removed. Surface should be thoroughly cleaned with a commercial cleaner such as Sugar Soap.
Steel Decking : Surface to be thoroughly cleaned of any surface contaminants (e.g. oils, etc.)
Mixing Resinflex Two Pack
Add Resinflex Two Pack part 2 powder to Resinflex Two Pack part 1 liquid at a ratio of 5 kg of powder to 3 litre of water. Mix product to a smooth paste free from lumps by using a drill that has a speed lower than 300 rpm, or mix by hand. Slacken the adhesive and re-mix after 5 minutes.
Pot Life
Resinflex Two Pack has a pot life of approximately 3 hours at 20°C and 50% relative humidity.
Open Time
Resinflex Two Pack has an open time of approximately 2 hours, which can be shortened to just a few minutes by the action of sun, wind, high temperatures or highly absorbent surfaces. Tilers need to constantly check that the adhesive has not formed a surface skin and is still fresh to the touch.
Wetting or priming the substrate prior to tiling prolongs the open time of the adhesive. It is not advisable to wet the adhesive when it has formed a skin as water only increases the rate of cement hydration and will result in an anti adhesive film. Skinned adhesive must always be removed and disposed of.
Application
Always install the tiles in accordance with AS 3958 1:1991 and ensure the backs of the tiles are free of dust. Spread Resinflex Two Pack evenly across one square metre at a time with a 6 x 6 x 6 notched trowel for walls or a 10 x 10 x 10 notched trowel for floors. The choice of trowel should be governed by the depth of the knobs, grooves or ridges on the back of the tile and the evenness of the substrate.
Lay the tiles with a fair pressure and at right angles to the notched pattern.
The final bed of adhesive should be between 2mm and 4mm. Wall tiles should have a finished joint width of 2mm - 4mm and floor files a finished joint width of 3mm - 6mm. Tiles can be adjusted for approximately 1 hour after laying.
Coverage
25 kgs/15ltrs of Resinflex Two Pack will cover approximately 10-12 square metres with a 10mm notched trowel for floors and/or 12-13 square metres with a 6mm notched trowel.
Dry Time
Resinflex Two Pack dries in approximately 12 hours at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. It may require longer times to cure for denser tiles and substrates or at installation temperatures below 10°C.
Expansion Joints
Joint Grouting
Grouting may commence after approximately 12 hours (depending on variables such as sun, heat, wind, etc.)
Shelf Life
Resinflex Two Pack can be stored in the original packaging in a dry elevated position for 6 months.
Packaging
Resinflex Two Pack is available in 25kg/15ltr and 5kg/3ltr units.
