BoostGel®

Product catalog summary

Product Description: BoostGel® is a highly elastic synthetic latex in aqueous dispersion, based on acrylic polymers, designed to enhance the elasticity, adhesion, waterproofing, and impact resistance of adhesive gels. It is suitable for use in swimming pools and underfloor heating systems.

Intended Use: BoostGel® serves as a liquid additive for Class C1 cementitious adhesives, replacing mixing water partially or entirely to improve deformability and performance for demanding applications.

Product Specifications: The product is a white liquid available in 10 kg and 20 kg recycled plastic jerrycans, with a shelf life of 24 months. It complies with EN 12004 – ISO 13007 standards, offering excellent alkali and solvent resistance, but low acid resistance. The pH is between 7 and 8.

Mixing Ratio: For a 20 kg bag of X-Fix adhesive, the mixing ratios vary depending on the adhesive type (C1, C2 S1, C2 S2) and color (White or Grey), with specific amounts of water and BoostGel® required.

Application Specifications: The mixture should be creamy, with a dough proving time of 5 minutes and a pot life of about 8 hours. The permissible application temperature ranges from +5°C to +30°C, with a drying time for grouting of 4–8 hours for walls and 24 hours for floors.

Preparation and Application: Mix the liquid and powder using an electric drill until smooth. Apply a thin, even coat with a trowel, ensuring complete wetting for outdoor or high-stress areas. The open time is approximately 30 minutes under standard conditions.

Warnings: Do not apply on damp surfaces or those prone to rising damp. The product is sensitive to freezing and should be stored above +5°C. The open time is shorter than adhesives mixed with water alone.

Safety Information: Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for safe use. The product is intended for professional use.

Legal Notices: The guidelines provided are based on experience but do not bind the company. Users should verify the product's suitability for their specific use.
