One-component, high-performance, highly deformable, lightweight, cementitious adhesive with extended open time and extremely high yield. Easy to apply by trowel with excellent back-buttering capacities, for ceramic, mosaic and stone tiles. Particularly suitable for laying large format-tiles.

 

Classification According to EN12004

Ultralite S2 T Flex is a C2 TE S2class cementitious (C), improved (2), anti-slip (T), extended open time(E),
deformable (S2) adhesive.
The conformity of Ultralite S2T Flex is declared in TT certificate no. 21/32302496 and no. 21/32302497 issued
by the APPLUS, LGAI Technological Center Bellaterra (Spain).

 

Where to Use

• Bonding all types and sizes of ceramic tiles (double-fired, single-fired, porcelain, clinker, terracotta, etc.).
• Bonding stone tiles on interior and exterior surfaces ( as long as the stone material is dimensionally stable and not sensitive to moisture and staining).
• Bonding large-format porcelain tiles, also thin tiles, on floors and walls, including exterior façades.
• Bonding all types ofmosaic oninteriorandexteriorsurfaces, also in swimming pools.
• Thanks to its high back-buttering capacities, it is particularly suitable for installation of Mapetherm Tile
  System XL on façades and external thermal insulation systems.

 

Application Examples

• Bonding ceramic tiles (porcelain, clinker, double-fired, single-fired, etc.), ceramic and glass mosaic, stone
  tiles (as long as not sensitive to moisture and staining) and thin and large format porcelain tiles on the following substrates:
“damp earth”consistency and self-levelling cementitious screeds and anhydrite screeds (after priming the
surface with a suitable primer such as Primer G or Eco Prim T Plus);
heating screeds;
cementitious render and lime-mortar render; Some application examples;
gypsum-based render (after the application of Primer G or Eco Prim T Plus);
plasterboard, walls made of fibre panels, precast wall panels;
Mapeguard Board, multi-purpose construction panels;
Mapelastic Smart, Aquaflex WPU, Mapelastic AquaDefense or Mapegum WPS waterproofing membranes;
waterproofing and uncoupling, anti-fracture, membranes, such as Mapeguard UM 35 or Mapeguard WP 200.
• Mapetex System and Mapeguard 2.
• Installing ceramic and natural stone tiles on existing floors (ceramic, marble,etc.).
• Installing tiles on marine plywood, particleboard, existing wooden floors (as long as they are stable).
• Installing ceramic and natural stone tiles in balconies, terraces, flat roofs subject to direct sunlight andor
  temperature swings.
• Installing tiles on precast concrete walls and concrete substrates.
• Installing large-format porcelain tiles, also thin tiles, on Mapetherm Tile System XL, external thermal
  insulation system.
• Installing tiles in swimming pools and tanks.

 

Technical Characteristics

Ultralite S2 T Flex is a white powder made of cement, selected graded sand and a high amount of synthetic resins, admixed with lightweight, natural aggregates that make the mix lighter, according to a special formula developed in MAPEI Research & Development labs.

Ultralite S2 T Flex is a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC), which safeguards the health and safety of installers and final users. It is certified as EC1 Plus by the German
association GEV.

Ultralite S2 T Flex helps earn important LEED credits.

Ultralite S2 T Flex offers the following advantages:

• The special formulation used to manufacture Ultralite S2 T Flex gives it a low density, a characteristic which offers two main advantages:
Bags of Ultralite S2 T Flex have the same volume but weigh less (13.5 kg) than bags of conventional
cementitious adhesive (20 kg). This means less effort for the workers, as the bags are easier to handle
on the construction site and storage warehouses. Furthermore, lightweight leads to clear benefits in
terms of reduced transport costs: indeed, one pallet of Ultralite S1 Flex Zero weighs 750 kg while one
pallet of conventional adhesive weighs 1250 kg.
higher yield: each 13.5 kg bag of Ultralite S2 T Flex has approximately the same yield (in terms of
square metres of tiles installed with the same type of trowel, installation technique and substrate) as
that of 20 kg bags of conventional MAPEI cementitious adhesives
• Ultralite S2 T Flex has a low viscosity, which makes application quicker and easier.
• Its high back-buttering capacities make this adhesive particularly suitable for laying thin porcelain tiles. The
  application of Ultralite S2 T Flex using the back-buttering technique on flat substrates ensures that there are
  absolutely no voids in the adhesive on the back of the tiles, thus avoiding the risk of fracture when in service.

When mixed with water, Ultralite S2 T Flex forms a mortar with the following characteristics:

• excellent capacity of absorbing deformation in the substrate and tiles;
• excellent back-buttering properties;
• perfect bond to all materials normally used in the building industry;
• particularly extended adjustment and open time to make installation easier.The deformability class of
  Ultralite S2 T Flex is S2, according to the standard AS ISO 13007-1, and, unlike other adhesive with similar
  characteristics, it does not need to be mixed with latex, thus making its application easier and quicker.

 

Recommendations

Do NOT use Ultralite S2 T Flex in the following cases:

• on metal, rubber, PVC and linoleum substrates.
• for slabs of marble and natural stone subject to efflorescence or staining on metal.
• for natural or agglomerate stone subject to moisture expansion.
• when the floored surface must set to foot traffic quickly.

Do not add water to the mix once it starts to set,

 

Application Procedure

REFER TO TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PDF (See Specifications – Below)

 

Grouting and Sealing

Tile joints may be grouted after 4 to 8 hours on walls and after 24 hours on floors.

Use a MAPEI cementitious or epoxy grout, available in a wide variety of colours.

Expansion Joints must be sealed using a suitable MAPEI sealant.

If necessary, clean, maintain and protect the surfaces using the specific products from the UltraCare range.

 

Set to Light Foot Traffic

The floors are set to light foot traffic after approximately 24 hours.

 

Ready for Use

Surfaces are ready-for use after approximately 14 days.
Tanks and swimming pools can be filled after waiting at least 21 days.

 

Cleaning

Clean tools and containers with plenty of water while Ultralite S2 T Flex is still fresh.
Clean the surfaces of tiles with a damp cloth before the adhesive hardens.

 

Packaging

Ultralite S2 T Flex is available in 13.5 kg paper bags.

 

Consumption

0.8 kg/m² per mm of thickness, equal to:

• 1.5 kg/m² for the installation of uncoupling or waterproofing membranes (using a 5 mm notched trowel);
• 2-3.5 kg/m² for the installation of tiles (depending on the type of trowel selected according to the size of the tiles)

NOTE:
Coverages shown are approximate and are given for estimating purposes only.
Actual job-site coverages may vary according to the tile size and thickness, job conditions and setting practices.
For coverage values contact MAPEI’s Technical Services Department on 1800 652 666.

 

Storage

Ultralite S2 T Flex may be stored for 12 months in its original packaging in a dry area.
