Why specify Flex HM tile adhesive?
C2TE — Highest Standard Tile Adhesive Classification
Certified to UNI EN 12004 C2TE — improved adhesion (C2), no vertical slip (T) and extended open time (E). This tile adhesive classification covers the most demanding wall and floor tiling applications including large formats, wet areas and external use.
>30 Minute Extended Open Time
The extended open time of over 30 minutes gives tilers more working time to position and adjust tiles — particularly important for large format tile installation where precise alignment takes time and rushing causes costly mistakes.
No Vertical Slip — Walls & Large Formats
High thixotropy prevents tiles from sliding on vertical surfaces after placement — this tile adhesive holds tiles firmly in position on walls without movement, making it suitable for large format wall tiles and heavy stone cladding.
Tiles Over Tiles
Flex HM tile adhesive is specifically suitable for laying new tiles directly over existing ceramic, porcelain or marble floors — eliminating demolition time and cost when renovating. Prime with Aggrappante LG or abrade mechanically first.
Enhanced with LicaLatex for Wet Areas
Mixing with LicaLatex in a 1:1 ratio with the mixing water significantly increases watertightness and resistance to corrosive agents — making this tile adhesive suitable for swimming pools, cold storage rooms and aggressive chemical environments.
Freeze-Thaw Resistant
Maintains adhesion values after freeze-thaw cycle testing — this tile adhesive retains ≥1 N/mm² after exposure to freeze-thaw conditions, making it suitable for external applications in UK climatic conditions.
Flex HM — C2TE High-Performance Tile Adhesive
Flex HM is Licata's high-performance C2TE tile adhesive — a polymer-modified cementitious adhesive based on high-strength hydraulic binders, selected aggregates and latest-generation additives for interior and exterior use. Certified to UNI EN 12004 as a cementitious adhesive (C) with improved characteristics (2), no vertical slip (T) and extended open time (E).
This tile adhesive is specifically formulated for thin layer bonding (2–5mm) of all ceramic types, natural stone, mosaics and large format tiles on walls and floors. Good wettability ensures excellent contact with low-absorption porcelain stoneware — one of the most demanding tiling scenarios. It can be enhanced with LicaLatex for swimming pools and wet industrial environments.
For challenging applications — tiles over 900cm² (30×30cm), external frost-exposed floors, tanks, heavy-load floors or honed finishes — always use the back-buttering method, applying this tile adhesive to both the substrate and the back of the tile to guarantee 100% coverage.
