Product catalog summary
Product Description: Fluidotixo® polymeric gel is a first-generation product with low cement content (<29%) designed for installing tiles, porcelain stoneware, and natural stone both indoors and outdoors. It is characterized by its creamy, fluid, and thixotropic nature, offering high application reliability, resistance to vertical slippage, and an open time exceeding 40 minutes. It ensures superior adhesion on difficult substrates and is classified as C2TE according to EN 12004 standards.
Composition and Features: The gel is formulated with modified polymers, low Portland cement content, hybrid engineered hydraulic binders, and high mineral aggregate content. It is designed to enhance installation experience, safety, and reduce environmental impact.
Performance and Application: The Fluidotixo® Mix is smooth-flowing, thixotropic, and lightweight, making it easy to spread with a trowel. It maintains its shape and thickness without sagging, ensuring precise application. The gel provides a high-performance adhesive bond, allowing for adjustments even several minutes after application, with an extended open time of over 40 minutes.
Environmental and Safety Certifications: The product complies with EN 12004, ISO 13007, EC1 Plus Gev Emicode, and A+ Indoor air emissions standards. It has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Materials and Substrates: Suitable for use with porcelain stoneware, ceramic tiles, marble, granite, natural stone, mosaics, and various substrates including screeds, plaster, and concrete. It is also compatible with radiant heating systems and waterproofing products.
Limitations: The product should not be used on uncured concrete, gypsum-based substrates without primer, timber, metal, or surfaces requiring quick foot traffic readiness. It is essential to follow national standards and specific technical data sheets for correct application.
Technical Specifications: The gel appears as a hydrolysed gel powder available in white and grey, packaged in 20 kg recyclable bags. It has a storage life of 12 months and complies with EN 12004 – ISO 13007 C2 TE standards. The product offers excellent moisture, alkali, and solvent resistance but low acid resistance.
Application Instructions: Mix the product with water to achieve a creamy consistency, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then apply using a notched trowel. The open time is approximately 40 minutes under standard conditions. Special applications may require additional products like FastGel® or PowerGel® for specific materials.
Grouting and Maintenance: Use X-Color® decorative grouts for grouting and Pixel 3D sealants for joint sealing. For cleaning and maintenance, use Litokol detergents from the X-Cleaner and Starlike® Care ranges.
Warnings and Legal Notices: Tools should be cleaned with water before the gel sets. The information provided is based on best experience but does not bind the company, and users should verify product suitability for their specific use.

Grouting, sealing and maintenance For grouting, X-Color® 0-6 or X-Color® 2-12 decorative grouts can be used. To create waterproof joints with high colour fastness and superior chemical and mechanical resistance, use the decorative epoxy gels from the Starlike® range. For the elastic sealing of expansion joints, partition joints and perimeter joints, use sealants from the Pixel 3D range. For post-construction washing, cleaning, maintenance and surface protection, use the specific Litokol detergents from the X-Cleaner and Starlike® Care ranges. Due to the high adhesion, we recommend washing tools...
