Mapei Keraflex – High performance cementitious adhesive

Mapei Keraflex – High performance cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip and extended open time for ceramic tiles and stone material. Keraflex is a grey or white powder composed of cement and graded aggregates. It contains a high quantity of synthetic resins and special admixtures created according to a formula developed in MapeiI’s research laboratories. A mortar with the following features is obtained when mixed with water:
