Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec
Flexible full transfer thin set and medium bed mortar
- adjustable mortar consistency
- rapid hardening development (can be exposed to final heavy commercial traffic after three days only *)
- full mortar transfer (at 7L or 1.8 US gallons)
- no billowing of mortar through joints
- can be used on exterior grade and industry approved plywood***
- for interior and exterior application
- reliable curing at low temperatures
- can also be used over heated screed, balconies and patios
- also for porcelain stoneware installations
- in compliance with EN 12 004 C2 FE-S1, ANSI A 118.4
- real multipurpose properties
- SuperTec-technology for dense mortar matrix self-curing characteristics for vibration installation method
Flexible, acrylic polymer, cement-based thin set and medium bed mortar with polymer additive for application layers of up to 25/32“ (20 mm) for interior and exterior installations according to EN 12 004 C2 E 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 litres) per bag you yield a pourable floating bed mortar allowing an even installation without air pockets. Thus the back buttering-floating technique does not apply here. Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec will hold the heavy stone, large tiles without sagging. Heated floors can be operational after three days only * (please follow local and manufacturer specifications).
Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec as a flexible thin and medium bed mortar:
The substrate must be ready for installation, dry, clean and structurally load bearing. If installation occurs on shrinking substrates, frequent expansion joints should be included in the layout. Prime absorbent substrates in interior areas with Okatmos® DSG or Okatmos® UG 30. Allow a drying time of at least 24 hours over calcium sulphate screed. For layers thicker than 5 mm on calcium sulphate screed, prime with Okapox GF and level indents with Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec. The maximum layer thickness on mastic screed is ¼“(5 mm). Prime non-absorbent substrates with Okatmos® UG 30. In exterior areas apply a contact layer of adhesive mortar and let it set.
North America only***:
Double layered plywood substrates must be dry, APA-rated, Type 1, COFI Group exterior-grade plywood, certified CANPLY (SELECT) or (SEL-TF) CSA 121, minimum 32 mm (1 ¼“) total thickness in residential and light commercial and dry conditions only. Refer to ANSI A 108 AN-2 “General Requirements for Subsurfaces” and the Tile Council of North America’s “Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation” for detailed information on surface preparation and guidelines for substrate construction. Provide expansion joints and control joints as specified per TCNA Detail EJ171; #301-MJ or TTMAC Specification Guide. Follow plywood installation guidelines and requirement located in Tile Council of North America’s “Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation” and TTMAC Specification Guide. Follow deflection allowance in accordance to ASTM C627 Standard test method. In some cases, the maximum deflection must not exceed L/720.
Contact Kiesel technical department for additional recommendation related to the tile sizes and installation over approved double layered plywood.
Mix Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec with cold, clean water to a smooth texture. Allow mixture to slake for approx. 5 minutes and remix again. Uneven substrates can be levelled during the installation. In case of unevenness up to ¾“ (20 mm) apply a levelling 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 an appropriately sized 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.
