Substrates: Suitable for screeds, self-levelling compounds, existing tiles, plaster, concrete, fibre-cement sheets, and more.
Uses: Applicable for interior floors and walls, terraces, balconies, wet areas, industrial flooring, facades, and various construction types.
Limitations: Not for outdoor use, wet surfaces, or uneven substrates. Requires covering with tiles or stone and should not be applied to certain materials like bituminous membranes or untreated wood.
Product Specifications: Composite fabric with polypropylene non-woven fabric and fiberglass mesh, white color, 50 m roll length, 1 m width, 0.85 mm thickness, and 235 g/m² weight.
Technical Properties: High breaking load, good adhesion strength, and chemical resistance to various acids and saltwater.
Preparation of Substrates: Substrates must be cured, dry, and free from contaminants. Specific treatments are recommended for different substrate types.
Application: Use high-performance gels or Class C2 adhesives. Apply with a notched trowel and press the membrane to expel excess adhesive. Protect the surface from foot traffic until tiling.
Flooring Installation: Use high-performance gels for tile installation, ensuring full adhesion and appropriate joint widths. Consider expansion and partition joints.
Warnings: Install in the shade, protect from premature skin formation, and store properly before use. Follow technical data sheets for detailed guidance.

Litotex Technical Specifications Anti-crack decoupling membrane in rolls for the installation of floor and wall coverings made of ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and natural stone, including removable ones Product description Litotex is an anti-fracture decoupling membrane supplied in rolls for the installation of floor and wall coverings in ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and natural stone, including removable, anti-fracture types. It consists of two outer layers of non-woven fabric, which ensure maximum adhesion, laminated and reinforced internally with a fibreglass mesh to absorb the movements and stresses generated between the substrate and the covering. Designed for the installation of floors in ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and natural stone – including removable tiles – it is quick and easy to apply on site and ensures maximum installation safety. Thanks to the exclusive microstructure of the surfaces, up to 50 per cent less adhesive is required for the subsequent installation of the cladding compared to traditional embossed membranes, and it maintains its performance even in very low temperatures. It is ideal for laying new floor coverings on cracked and problematic substrates, as the product can be applied over existing flooring consisting of ceramic tiles or natural stone, thereby avoiding extensive and costly demolition and disposal work.

Flooring installation The installation of ceramic tiles, natural stone or mosaics shall be carried out using high-performance gels based on Litokol technology, which guarantee complete force transfer, consistent system performance and total safety. To ensure perfect adhesion of the adhesive gel to the HydroProof Anti-Fracture membrane, apply a thin, even coat of the mixture using the smooth side of the trowel and, immediately afterwards, apply the desired thickness using the notched side. In accordance with the UNI 11493-1 standard, use the double-coating technique, applying the gel to the back...
