FUGARID PREMIUM MAX

Flexible cement-based jointing mixture, up to 10 mm width
According to the requirements of BDS EN 13888 – class CG2 WA
High quality jointing product for indoor and outdoor application.

PURPOSE
FUGARID PREMIUM MAX is a cement-based jointing mixture of high class. The excellent flexibility and water-repelling properties of the product define its application for:

• Filling joints from 2 mm to 10 mm at ceramic coatings and floorings in dry and wet rooms;

• Filling joints from 2 mm to 10 mm at stone coatings and floorings;

• Filling joints from 2 mm to 10 mm at coatings and floorings of swimming pools and permanently wet rooms;

• Jointing floorings of indoor terraces and facade coatings exposed to constant moisture.

This jointing mixture has been designed in a range of 38 colours with guaranteed stability of the pigments. All colours from the catalogue could be manufactured in the glamorous variant GOLD & SILVER SELECTION.
Implemented special additives, polymers, and monofibers can guarantee high flexibility, wear resistance, frost resistance, as well as reliability against cracking into the final product at thickness of the joints up to 10 mm.

PROPERTIES

• For indoor and outdoor application

• Flexible and crack resistant

• Water repelling

• Frost resistant

• Wear resistant

PREPARATION OF THE BASE
Before application of FUGARID PREMIUM MAX, you have to be sure that the tile adhesive is completely dry and hardened. Joints should be well cleaned and dust-free. It is not allowed to apply on oil (greasy) stains, dust or any other contaminants.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TECHNICAL DATA

• Colour: according to a catalogue;

• Base: cement;

• Work temperature: +5˚C to +25˚C;

• Time for ‘maturing’: 5-10 minutes;

• Open time for work: about 1 hour;

• Time for walking on it: after 24 hours;

• Water absorption:

  • after 30 minutes: 0.9 g;

  • after 240 minutes: 2.7 g;

• Temperature resistance: -30˚C to +70˚C;

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION AND PROCESSING
For the complete dissolution of 1 kg of FUGARID PREMIUM MAX, around 0.32 litres of water are required. Into a preliminary prepared container with water, the necessary amount of dry mixture is poured and, with the help of a mechanical stirrer, it is stirred until it appears to be a homogenous flexible mixture. Thus, the stirred mixture is left to stay for 5-10 minutes so that it gets “mature”, after which it is stirred once again and it is ready for work. It is recommended that the solution for floorings should be not so thick.

Jointing is done with the help of a rubber putty-knife and the jointing mixture is diagonally spread over the tiles until the joints between them are maximally filled. Corrections and additional filling of the joints are possible only before the material gets hard and dry. Forming is carefully done with the help of a wet sponge, without touching the joint itself.
Any stains or contaminations over the face side of the coating or the flooring are removed within 3 hours after jointing is done with the help of a sponge and water.
Exploitation of the flooring or the coating cannot start earlier than 24 hours after jointing is done.

CONSUMPTION

• at 2 mm joint – about 200 g/m²

• at 6 mm joint – about 600 g/m²

• at 10 mm joint – about 1 kg/m²

TOOLS FOR WORK

• Bucket

• Electrical drill and stirrer

• Rubber putty-knife

• Sponge

WEATHER CONDITIONS AT WORK
The minimum twenty-four-hour temperature of the air and the base should not be less than +5˚C, and the maximum – not higher than +30˚C.
It is not recommended to apply FUGARID PREMIUM MAX at high levels of air humidity, or when the forecast is for coming rain, or during rain.

FORM OF DELIVERY
Dry mixture in boxes of 1 kg and 6 kg.

NOTES
For porous surfaces (non-glazed tiles or granite), preliminary testing of a sample of the respective material should be made.
It is not recommended to mix different colours due to the reason that it will lead to worsening the product’s quality.
Characteristics and technical data of the product, pointed out into this Technical Data Sheet, are defined at a standard temperature (20˚C) and relative humidity (50%). In other weather conditions, the technological time for some of the processes mentioned above could be shorter or longer.
The information of the product is based on the practical experience of the manufacturer and the technical tests in specialized laboratories.
Do not mix with other building materials.
All hazards and precautionary statements about FUGARID PREMIUM MAX can be checked in the Safety Data Sheet of the product.

STORAGE
12 months in the originally sealed packages, on a dry and aerated place.
