Polifilling 55-F, Cement Based Flexible Jiont Filling

Description of Product
PoliFilling®55-F, is a cement based, flex silicon reinforced grouting material decorative for ceramic, tile, marble and granite interlines which is not effected by water and which is resistant against vibrations, elongations and contractions due to temperature changes.

Fields of Application
-Indoor spaces, in vertical and horizontal applications, 
-In filling the grouting holes of ceramics, tiles, marble and granite adhered on existing surfaces.
-Shopping centers, 
-On commercial and industrial floors. In hotels, 
-In hospitals, 
-In wet spaces, 
-In domiciles

Features and Benefits
-Prepared and applied easily 
-Does not scratch silvered surfaces. 
-It is suitable for grouting holes with the widths 2 - 8 mm. 
-Provides excellent adhesion to the edges of tiles without cracking. 
-Has a long machinability duration. Smooth surfaces are obtained. 
-Since it has little water absorbance it hardly gets dirty and can be cleaned easily. 
-Freeze-thaw cycle resistant. 
-Resistant to impacts, vibrations and detergents. In the standard colors.

Application Procedure 
Preparation of Substrate
Before filling ceramics and tile grouting holes, it must be waited for the used adhesive to achieve sufficient hardness. Just before interlining materials are applied, the surface must be cleaned without being harmed and must be dampened with a wet sponge.

Mixing Ratios

Application Method
Spread PoliFilling®55-F, over the ceramics with a rubber trowel and fill the grouting interspaces. Skim the excessive material is off the grouting holes with diagonal moves. In deep grouting holes, first, wait for the settling of the material and repeat this procedure. Wait until the material can withstand the pressure of a finger and upon cleaning the whole surface with a wet sponge, give the life water that is necessary for the completion of the hydration. Clean the remaining materials on the surface of the ceramics with a wet sponge and give the final shape to the interlines. After the material gets dry (the day after by the lates), polish up the ceramics with a dry and clean oakum. 
Watch Points
-Avoid PoliFilling®55-F, application under excessive heat or wind and/or when the ambient and/or substrate temperature is below +10 or above +30. 
-Do not add water and/or new material to a PoliFilling®55-F, mixture which has started getting dry under any circumstances. Ceramics with high water absorbing capacity must be saturated with  water  before  the application.

-About 10 - 20 minutes after the application of the material a test must be made by exerting pressure with a finger. 
-If no material is getting smudged on the fingers in the finger test, the process of giving life water to the interlines must be started. Thus dust extraction of the interlines, or their getting cracked is prevented and a perfect surface regularity is achieved. 
-The surface cleansing procedure must not be carried out by using sawdust.

Cleaning of Tools
Used tools and equipment must be cleaned with water after the application.
