Biotex - Polyester Reinforced Membrane
Verified by manufacturer 6 days ago
Recycled and thermo‑bonded polyester, reinforced membrane.
Application
Intended use:
- For internal and external applications, to desolidarize and separate prior to laying of ceramic tile, large formats and natural stone coatings.
- For domestic, commercial, industrial uses.
Suitable substrates:
- Screeds and concrete.
- Existing ceramic tile, marble floor tiles, natural stone, wood, metal , rubber, PVC, linoleum and fibre-glass floorings anchored to the substrate.
- Dry-lay flooring on panels anchored to the substrate.
Description
Recycled and thermo‑bonded polyester, reinforced membrane, specifically designed to absorb shear stresses between substrates and bonded coatings; suitable as reinforcement for the laying of ceramic tiles of all kinds, large formats, porcelain tiles and natural stone.
Biotex increases safety when laying large format tiles with gel adhesives on critical and diverse substrates, increasing the strength of the bonded system and reducing the time required for interventions in renovation work.
Features and benefits:
- Specific for the desolidarizing laying of large formats with H40 gel adhesives.
- Increases shear strength between substrates and coatings.
- Increases safety when laying large formats on critical and old substrates.
- Avoids excessive thicknesses of adhesive in a single coat of laying when levelling any uneven surface.
- High levels of durability over time in basic environments.
- Only 0.65 mm thickness, ideal in renovation work.
