Dunlop Premixed Resaflex Tile Adhesive

Ready to use, flexible and tough ceramic tile adhesive for dependable indoor tiling. Ideal for interior walls and fibre-cement sheet residential floors. No mixing required, spreads smoothly, and delivers a secure bond when applied at the correct bed thickness.

Key Benefits

• Ready mixed convenience for faster start and less mess
• Flexible bond that helps accommodate minor movement
• Non-slump paste with excellent grab on vertical surfaces
• Suitable for common interior wall substrates and fibre-cement sheet floors

Where To Use

• Walls: Interior applications on cement render, plasterboard, and fibre-cement sheet
• Floors: Residential fibre-cement sheet floors
• Tiles: Ceramic and similar porous tiles

Surface Preparation

• Surfaces must be flat, clean, dry and firmly fixed. Remove dust, oil, grease and loose materials.
• Prime porous surfaces like cement render and fibre-cement sheet, and any base jointing compound on plasterboard, then allow to dry.
• Remove water based paints completely. If paint integrity is uncertain, roughen or remove.

Application

1. Use an appropriate notched trowel: as a guide 6 mm for walls, 10 mm for floors.
2. Spread only as much as you can tile within open time, typically about 1 m² at a time. Ensure no skin has formed.
3. Bed tiles into a 1.5 mm to 6 mm adhesive layer. Press and slide to ensure full contact.
4. Clean excess adhesive from tile faces and joints before it sets.

Coverage Guide

Tile Size	Notch Size	Approx. Coverage per kg
Up to 150 x 150 mm	4.5 mm	~0.7 m²
150 x 150 to 250 x 250 mm	6 to 8 mm	~0.5 m²
250 x 250 mm and over	10 to 12 mm	~0.3 m²

Coverage varies with substrate condition, trowel angle and application technique.

Drying and Grouting

• Typical set time is about 24 hours at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. Allow longer for dense tiles or cool and humid conditions.
• Grout after adhesive has set, usually after 24 hours.

Movement Joints

• Provide joints around perimeters and at intervals consistent with good tiling practice, for example at about 5 m on floors and about 3.5 m along walls.
• Keep joints about 6 mm wide and free of adhesive and grout. Fill with a suitable flexible sealant.

Limitations

• Not suitable over concrete where extended drying can occur.
• Not for areas subject to water immersion such as pools.
• Do not use for non-porous tiles over non-porous substrates or for moisture-sensitive stone.
• Final adhesive bed must be at least 1.5 mm and not more than 6 mm thick.

Clean Up

Clean tools and any fresh residue with water before the adhesive sets.
