SPECIFIC REACTIVE BI-COMPONENT ADHESIVE FOR BONDING AND SEALING G-TEX GEOMEMBRANES ON NONABSORBENT SURFACES, SUCH AS METAL, PLASTIC, SYNTHETIC SURFACES OR WOOD THAT IS TREATED OR PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE TO WATER. SUITABLE FOR SEALING COMBINED JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE FLOOR AND WALL IN G-TEX REFLEX WATERPROOFING SYSTEMS. Technical Data Sheet – Rev. 04/2019 DESCRIPTION AQUAFIX ULTRA (A+B) is a reactive bi-component adhesive that does not contain water, is free from solvents and substances that are dangerous for health and the environment, with excellent resistance to ageing and weather conditions. AQUAFIX ULTRA (A+B) has been designed to guarantee continuity and durability of GEODRY waterproofing systems over time and thanks to the chemical compatibility with the G-TEX geomembranes in flexible polyolefins, it develops perfect adhesion on surfaces that are non-absorbent, made of metal, plastic, hydrophobed wood or synthetic, as well as on traditional cementitious substrates. It absorbs potential movements caused by thermal expansion and vibration, without the risk of affecting the impermeability of the surface. FIELDS OF APPLICATION AQUAFIX ULTRA (A+B), used in GEODRY waterproofing systems, is ideal for bonding and sealing G-TEX geomembranes on non-absorbent substrates, such as metal, laminated and plastic surfaces, or on treated or particularly water-sensitive wooden surfaces. It is also suitable for sealing combined joints and connections between the floor and wall in waterproofing systems installed with G-TEX REFLEX geomembrane. AQUAFIX ULTRA (A+B) can be used to lay any type of covering, such as wooden floors, rubber, PVC, carpets or ceramics. However, it is advisable to check the strength of the AQUAFIX ULTRA (A+B) bond on rubber and PVC floors or others of similar materials with a preventive test, since there are certain types of materials on the market subjected to chemical treatments that would make bonding difficult. The chemical and physical properties of AQUAFIX ULTRA (A+B) guarantee perfect adhesion and continuous waterproofing, thereby eliminating problems with joints between the various elements of the waterproofing system. Thanks to its high elasticity, AQUAFIX ULTRA (A+B) is also suitable for bonding on screeds with underfloor heating. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION Create surfaces with adequate slopes that guarantee the correct flow of water and avoid stagnation. The substrate to be waterproofed must comply with the requirements set forth by Standard UNI 11493 regarding curing, integrity, mechanical and superficial strength, dimensional regularity, moisture and absence of contaminating agents. Regardless of the type of substrate, waterproofing requires giving proper consideration to all the details such as positioning of the drains, regularisation of interconnecting points between floor and wall, of both interior and exterior corners and layout of any structural couplings. Metal, plastic or synthetic surfaces The surfaces of the materials to be sealed must be clean, dry, free of oil, grease, rust, dust and oxides. Remove dust and cement residues with a jet of compressed air, abrasive paper or a stiff brush. Non-absorbent surfaces, such as glass or metal, must have no deteriorated covering and must be cleaned thoroughly with a suitable solvent. Anti-adherent materials, such as prefabricated panels, must be sandblasted mechanically and finally cleaned from any residual dust or any other material that could affect the perfect adhesion of the adhesive. powered by COLMEF

G-TEX Geomembranes The geomembrane surfaces to seal must be clean and free from dust, cement residues or any other material that can affect the perfect adhesion of the adhesive. PRODUCT PREPARATION Pour 9 kg AQUAFIX ULTRA “component A” in a clean container together with 1 kg AQUAFIX ULTRA “component B” and mix with an electric whisk mixer at low speed, to avoid excessive incorporation of air. Mix until a smooth, lump-free mixture is obtained. APPLICATION Laying G-TEX geomembranes in GEODRY waterproofing systems 1.
