MULTIRAPID FAST-SETTING THIN-SET MORTAR 

THIN-SET MORTAR

PROFIX mortars are composed of hydraulic cement that has been reinforced with additives and polymers. We manufacture these mortars so that their performance lives up to our customer’s expectations, while being easy to use. Since our products are mainly distributed through retail stores, we always keep in mind that the user is often a handyman expecting professional results. These mortars can be used for floors and walls.

WHAT IS HYBRID TECHNOLOGY?

Hybrid technology, exclusive to PROFIX, makes traditional mortars more versatile. This technology is used in most PROFIX thin-set mortars. HYBRID technology solves two key aspects of ceramic installation:

Horizontal Installation: When installing large-sized tiles, the extra weight can cause the mortar to sag underneath, in which case, there is less mortar in direct contact with the back of the tile. This can cause bonding problems and make a levelled installation more difficult. HYBRID mortars are formulated to increase slump resistance on large-sized tile installations.

Vertical Installation: HYBRID technology gives the mortar greater slip resistance, and is therefore ideal for your vertical installation.

POT LIFE

During the course of a job, your mortar may become denser in the pail. It is recommended to remix it without adding water, using a mixer designed for this purpose. Too much water dilutes the product, and the results become unpredictable and variable.

What you should know...

 Fast-setting mortar is mainly used by professionals with experience in tile installation. The product is especially popular when time is short, or when tiles need to be grouted with little waiting time (3 to 4 hours after laying tiles). The curing of the cement is faster due to the accelerators in its composition. Once the mortar has been mixed with water, you have approximately 45 minutes to install your tiles. It should be noted that the ambient temperature plays an important role on the product’s pot life and curing time.
