real multipurpose properties

Properties and usage

Flexible, cement-based thin set and medium bed mortar with polymer additive for application layers of up to 3/4" (20 mm) for interior and exterior installations according to EN 12 004 C2 FE-S1.

Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec is especially formulated to provide full mortar transfer to avoid air entrapments between mortar and covering without the disadvantage of floating bed mortar billowing through joints. Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec will hold heavy stone without sagging.

Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec is especially suitable for large modular ceramic tile installations, porcelain stoneware and natural stone coverings on limited form stable substrates such as heated screed (please follow the respective regulations and data sheets), in situ concrete (at least 3 months old) and similar.

By increasing the water content to approx. 1.8 US gal. (7.0 liters) per bag you yield a pourable floating bed mortar allowing an even installation without air pockets. Thus the buttering-floating technique does not apply here. Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec is especially formulated to provide full mortar transfer to avoid air entrapments between mortar and covering without the disadvantage of floating bed mortar billowing through joints. Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec will hold heavy stone without sagging.

Shelf life

store in unopened packaging in a dry area for up to 12 months

At 68 °F (+20 °C ) and 65% relative humidity. Higher temperature and low humidity decreases, lower temperature and high humidity increases this value respectively.

Substrate preparation

The substrate must be ready for installation, dry, clean and load bearing. If installation occurs on shrinking substrates frequent expansion joints should be included in the layout. Prime absorbent substrates in interior areas with Okamul GG or Okatmos UG 30. Allow a drying time of at least 24 hours over calcium sulfate screed. For layers thicker than 5 mm on calcium sulfate screed, prime with Okapox GF and level indents with Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec. The maximum layer thickness on mastic screed is 1/4" (5 mm).

Prime non-absorbent substrates with Okatmos UG 30. In exterior areas apply a contact layer of adhesive mortar and let it set.

Processing

Mix Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec with clean water to a smooth texture. Allow mixture to slake for approx. 5 minutes and stir again. Uneven substrates can be leveled during the installation. In case of unevenness up to 3/4" (20 mm) apply a leveling coat with floating bed consistency and allow it to cure for at least 24 hours before starting the installation. Apply a non-porous coat of Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec with a comb trowel onto the substrate, slide in the covering material within 25 minutes and press tightly. Depending on the absorbency of the substrate/covering corrections can be made within 25 minutes.

Cleaning

Clean tools and tile surface immediately with water.

The information is based on our experience and is to be regarded as general instructions. We cannot guarantee successful results since we do not have any influence on the conditions at the construction site and the proper processing. In any case a sample application is recommended before the installation.
