PowerGel® S1+ Technical Specifications Elastic, crack-resistant tri-polymer Smart Gel (4Gen), reinforced with quartz microspheres, and low-cement-content Fluidotixo® - C5, prevents the formation of cracks when laying tiles, porcelain stoneware, large slabs of all types and sizes, and natural stone. Together with SafetyGel®, it forms the High-Adhesion Anti-Crack System – TileSafe® System. Product description Tri-polymeric Smart Gel (4thgeneration), an elastic, crack-resistant adhesive with an exclusive Fluidotixo® Anti-Fatigue formulation, enhanced with quartz microspheres and formulated with a low cement content (<29%), prevents the formation of cracks when laying tiles, porcelain stoneware, large slabs of all types and sizes, and natural stone, both indoors and outdoors. Designed for high application safety and thanks to state-of-the-art features, the mixture is extremely creamy, fluid and thixotropic; it maintains its shape and thickness on both floors and walls with 100% wetting power, achieving a double vertical slip resistance rating of T (T) and an open time exceeding 60 minutes (E). PowerGel® S1+ develops high-performance, elastic, crack-resistant adhesion thanks to the synergy between the tri-polymer system and the quartz microspheres. This advanced interaction enables PowerGel® S1+ to deliver high performance even on difficult substrates with potential dimensional instability or subject to high stresses, such as overlays on old floors, underfloor heating systems, balconies, terraces, swimming pools and façades, where even extreme temperature fluctuations, moisture and high mechanical stresses make adhesion conditions critical. Classified as C2TE S1 – EN 12004 Technical Spec

TileSafe® System PowerGel® S1+ combined with SafetyGel® forms the High-Adhesion Anti Fracture System - TileSafe® System - engineered for the installation of large-format tiles and slabs of any type and size in high-traffic areas, even on cracked substrates (up to 3 mm). The system helps to dissipate and neutralise substrate movements and tile expansion, and distributes heavy loads evenly without causing stress. Gel formula with a patent application filed PowerGel® S1+ and TileSafe® System are highly innovative Litokol inventions, with international patent applications filed under IT No. 102025000025369...

tiles. Once applied, its thixotropic formula ensures that the shape and thickness remain unchanged, without sagging, on both floors and walls, guaranteeing precise and controlled installation without vertical slippage, achieving a double slip resistance rating of T (T). The advanced performance characteristics of PowerGel® S1+ allow for corrections even several minutes after application, achieving a double extended open time E (E). Double Open Time E (E) PowerGel® S1+ is modified using dual-open-time technology based on an innovative blend of quartz microspheres and latest-generation modified...

an elastic and cohesive manner. 2. Polymerised quartz microspheres: these manage internal stress and optimise the dimensional stability of the bonding bed. 3. Integrated Crack Prevention® modules: these dissipate peak energy and prevent the propagation of cracks in the adhesive matrix. 4. ITZ stabilisation: the contact zone between the back of the tile, the gel and the substrate becomes monolithic and elastic, capable of working in sync with the SafetyGel® membrane.
