GEOMEMBRANE IN FPO, WATERPROOF, DECOUPLING, ELASTIC, FLEXIBLE, DEFORMABLE, CRACK-BRIDGING ABILITY AND DIMENSIONAL STABILITY BETWEEN -40 °C AND +80 °C, FOR WATERPROOFING AND DECOUPLING BEFORE LAYING CERAMIC, PORCELAIN STONEWARE TILES, CERAMIC AND GLASS MOSAICS, GLASS, NATURAL STONE, RECONSTRUCTED STONE, RESILIENT, PROTECTIVE AND DECORATIVE MATERIALS. Technical Data Sheet – Rev. 01/2019 DESCRIPTION G-TEX ACTIVE is a multilayer polymeric geomembrane with exclusive technology consisting of:  NWF: Nonwoven Fabric (alkali resistant polyester fibres) which guarantees high bonding with specific GEODRY adhesives and high tensile strength;  FPO: Flexyble PolyOlefin + EVA (Etilene Vinil Acetato), double layer with permanent elasticity and variable shape compensating and absorbing the dimensional variations of the substrates. G-TEX ACTIVE is capable of compensating thermal and physical-mechanical stress to which it is subject without altering its properties. G-TEX ACTIVE is waterproof, deformable, with crack bridging ability, resistant to mechanical stress, to temperature changes, to bacterial aggression, to mould and moss proliferation, anti-root, alkali resistant, resistant to hydrocarbons. G-TEX ACTIVE allows you to implement waterproofing and separating systems of shower enclosures, baths, wellness areas and balconies (without expansion joints), before laying any type of ceramic, protective or decorative covering. It guarantees continuity in the waterproofing of the sub-base, even with surface cracks on the substrate, without deteriorating. Its elasticity enables separating (decoupling) of different layers, limiting the transmission of movements and vibrations to top layers. Thanks to its features of elasticity, flexibility and low thickness (0.52 mm), G-TEX ACTIVE is ideal for waterproofing of even especially complex architectonic surfaces, such as pillars, beams, stairs and windowsills. Compliant with European Standard EN 13596 (“Flexible membranes for waterproofing - Membranes of plastic and rubber material for waterproofing roofing”). FIELDS OF APPLICATION G-TEX ACTIVE, used in the GEODRY system, allows you to implement low thickness waterproofing and decoupling (2.5 mm – 3.5 mm), also for waterproofing on overlaying of old flooring and separation and on cracked substrates. Designed to guarantee long lasting water tightness and decoupling between the various layers, it is used for horizontal and vertical applications, both indoors (shower enclosures, baths, wellness areas, radiator systems, stairs, etc.) and outdoors (balconies, pillars, beams stairs, windowsills and surfaces without expansion joints). Its multilayer structure, which guarantees high bonding with specific GEODRY adhesives, makes it especially suitable as a substrate for laying a wide range of materials such as ceramic, porcelain stoneware, ceramic and glass mosaics, glass, natural stone, reconstructed stone, resilient materials (PVC, rubber, rugs, wood flooring, linoleum), plastic, wood, protective and decorative materials. powered by COLMEF

G-TEX ACTIVE is also ideal as a support for implementing continuous waterproofing of balconies and small and medium-sized terraces, before laying technical or floating floors. SUBSTRATES Cement screeds, radiator systems, concrete, plaster, plasterboard, cellular concrete, fibre cement slabs, heat insulation panels after shaving (eps, xps, rock wool, glass wool, cork, wood fibre), OSB (Oriented Strand Board) wood, wooden floors, ceramic floors, natural stone, reconstructed stone, metal, rubber, resilient materials in general, glass, glass mosaics, ceramic mosaics, cement membranes,...

2. Mix the AQUABOND EXTRAFLEX adhesive with water, specific for bonding G-TEX geomembranes on cement supports, complying with the mixture preparation methods described in the relative Technical Sheet. 3. Spread the AQUABOND EXTRAFLEX adhesive with a 6 mm square notched trowel, making sure to spread the adhesive in one direction, coinciding with the direction G-TEX ACTIVE was spread. 4. Glue G-TEX ACTIVE to the entire surface on the fresh layer of adhesive, proceeding from top to bottom, taking care for the moment to no glue the edges turned up on the horizontal plane and no glue the...

10. When you have finished waterproofing, use the same AQUABOND EXTRAFLEX adhesive to lay the ceramic covering, complying with that set forth by standard UNI 11493 (Ceramic covering a floors and walls - Instructions for the planning, for the installation and for the maintenance). Design the expansion joints in proportion to the size of the surface to be covered, to the format and the type of material used (as an indication, make expansion joints each 9-15 m2). Always envisage joints between tiles measuring at least 2 mm wide. 11. If ceramic covering is not foreseen, always provide a...
