MINERAL GEL-SOL-GEL ADHESIVE WITH VARIABLE RHEOLOGY SPECIFIC FOR CONTINUOUS IMMERSION BONDING OF G-TEX AIRFULL GEOMEMBRANE IN GEODRY WATERPROOFING SYSTEMS IN POOLS, BATHS, CONTAINING WATER AND SUBSEQUENT LAYING OF CERAMIC TILES OF ALL TYPES, PORCELAIN STONEWARE, CERAMIC AND GLASS MOSAICS AND KLINKER. Technical Data Sheet – Rev. 10/2018 DESCRIPTION AQUASAFE ULTRATECH is a high performance mineral adhesive with no vertical slip, extended open time and total wettability. It consists of specific hydraulic binders, selected mineral fillers, and exclusive polymers that make it particularly suitable for implementing of ceramic covering in structures in continuous contact with water, such as swimming pools, tubs and tanks. The perfect combination between high adhesion, high deformability and high water resistance, make AQUASAFE ULTRATECH a specific adhesive for laying G-TEX AIRFULL geomembranes in waterproofing swimming pools, tanks and structures in continuous contact with water. Classification according to European standard EN 12004 – C2TE S1 · Cement adhesive (C) improved adherence (2), no vertical slip (T), with extended open time (E), deformable (S1). FIELDS OF APPLICATION AQUASAFE ULTRATECH, thanks to its technical features, is used for laying of G-TEX geomembranes in new building projects as well as restoration of cement surfaces or overlaying existing floors. The perfect combination between high adhesion and high deformability, even in particular climatic conditions, makes AQUASAFE ULTRATECH particularly suitable for continuous immersion laying of the G-TEX AIRFULL geomembrane and subsequent laying of a wide range of finishing materials such as ceramic, porcelain stoneware, ceramic and glass mosaic, glass and natural stone. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION 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 contaminant 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 treatment of any structural couplings. Cement screeds Provide suitable slopes and set up drains for correct water outflow. The cement screeds must have already performed hydrometric shrinkage, which takes at least 28 days, they must be dry with a moisture content below 4%, flat, solid, compact, without inconsistent parts, free of dust and grease and any other material which could jeopardise perfect bonding of the adhesive. Even off any irregularities using specific GEODRY products. Very porous, absorbent and superficially crumbling surfaces must be reinforced with water-based adhesion promoter AQUAGRIP RECONTACT by GEODRY.

Ceramic floors The floors must be intact, resistant, well adherent, dry and clean from residues of previous processing and anything which could jeopardise bonding such as oil, grease or wax. Remove any tiles which are detaching and even off the surface with specific GEODRY products. For correct cleaning, wash the old floor with a water and caustic soda solution (30%) and rinse with plenty of water to eliminate any residues. Concrete Concrete surfaces must be compact, cured, solid, dry, clean, without inconsistent parts, free of dust and traces of release agents. In the presence of...

Waterproof Building System ■ Strong sun or excessive ventilation can greatly affect the processing time, lowering them significantly. In this case, dampen the cement substrate before applying the adhesive; this may be useful to extend the open time. ■ Protect the covering from rain or wash-out, from frost or direct sunlight, until complete hardening. ■ For laying large size ceramic materials, for laying outdoors, for laying in damp environments or subject to intense traffic, it is important to also spread the adhesive on the back side of the tiles. This will prevent any gaps from forming,...
