Sopro VF HF 420 – VarioFlex® High Strength Flexible Tile Adhesive
Extra-rapid-set, early-high-strength, flexible, cementitious floating-bed tile adhesive, meeting C2 EF requirements to DIN EN 12004. Ideal for fast-track or tightly scheduled schemes. For trouble-free laying of dishing/curling-prone resin-bonded tiles, large-format units, cast stone units, earthenware, stoneware and fully vitrified stoneware tiles. For laying dark-coloured, deformation-sensitive natural stone units. Suitable for use in conjunction with floor heating and waterproof membranes. High reliability through full rear-face wetting and contact adhesion plus high crystalline water-binding capacity.
Field Of Application
For dishing-prone resin-bonded tiles 2), cast stone and terrazzo tiles, earthenware, stoneware and fully vitrified stoneware tiles, mosaic, terracotta, discoloration-resistant natural stone units in marble, granite etc. Also suitable as bonding and contact layer in conjunction with thick-bed method, e.g. for rapidset mortars incorporating Sopro Rapidur® B1 turbo binder. In commercial and industrial facilities, hospitals, public buildings, airports, railway stations etc.
