It is suitable for crack filling pointing mortar ceramic tiles, stone, brick, etc. Also available the type MAXJOINT® FLEX POOL, with high microbiological resistance against the growth of algae and fungi on surface.

APPLICATION USES

• It points joints in brick, stone, concrete block, and all types of masonry for outdoor and indoor applications.
• Pointing of tiles over substrates subject to movements such as facades, terraces, wood, floor heating systems, outdoor pavements, etc.
• Combined with MAXSEAL® FLEX or MAXKOLA® FLEX providing a full flexible system in swimming pools, water reservoirs, fountains, etc.
• Pointing in areas with environmental conditions favourable to bacterial reproduction such as swimming-pools, wastewater treatment plants, aquariums, hospitals, schools, laboratories, industries, etc.
• Applications exposed to a wide range of temperature or relative humidity.

ADVANTAGES

• Suitable for pointing all type of ceramic tile (glazed or unglazed), marble, porcelain mosaic, etc.
• High microbiological resistance type reduces the maintenance costs and provides healthy and safer conditions.
• Excellent bond strength on every surface.
• It waterproofs the joint from rain water.
• It hardens without stress and cracks on joints up to 20 mm width.
• Suitable for permanent immersion.
• Excellent colour stability.
• Available in several colours under request.
• Easy to use and to clean.

Application

Use a trowel or rubber float to spread and press into the joints until they are completely full. For the pointing tiles in ceramic or porous brick is advisable to use a caulking gun for placement of mixture into the joint avowing the risk of stain the tiles. Before the initial setting-time of MAXJOINT® FLEX, when the mortar start getting matt, use a tuck-pointing trowel in order to get a smooth finish of the surface.

Application conditions – do not apply to: 

• substrate when rain is expected fall within the first 24 hours.
• where the ambient temperature is at or below 5°C, or is expected to fall below 5 °C within 24 hours.
• frozen surfaces or frost covered surfaces.

Applications where temperatures are expected to exceed  35 ºC, low relative humidity, direct sunlight and/or windy conditions, surface must be wet thoroughly with plenty of water prior to application.
Protect from high temperatures (> 35 ºC), moderate to high winds, low humidity conditions or direct sunlight exposure, i.e. in summer time. Damp the substrate with water.
