Application Steps

1
Preparation of Ceramic Tile Adhesive
A liquid mixture prepared by adding 1 part FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 and 1 part water is added to 1 kg of powdered ceramic tile adhesive mix and blended to obtain a trowel-consistency mortar. Example: for 25 kg FOX CERA FX110 Grey, mix with 4.00 L FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 and 4.00 L water. The relevant mixing ratios must be observed for other products.
2
Preparation of Repair Mortar
For 20 kg FOX SILK MORTAR FC125, mix with 4.00 L (4 parts) FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 and 2.50 L (2.5 parts) water. For 25 kg FOX MORTAR FC188 T, mix with 2.50 L (1 part) FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 and 2.50 L (1 part) water. For 25 kg FOX BASEMOR FC205, mix with 4.50 L (1 part) FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 and 4.50 L (1 part) water.
3
Preparation for Render Mortars
1 m³ of washed river sand of appropriate granulation is mixed with 350 kg of cement. A mixture prepared by adding 120 litres of water to 5 kg of FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 is added to the pre-prepared dry mix to obtain a trowel-consistency mortar. Surfaces must be wetted 12 hours before application; the FM126-modified mortar must be applied to a wet/dry surface.
4
Primer (PCC) Application for Screeds
1 part cement is mixed with 3 parts river sand. A liquid mixture prepared by adding 2 parts water to 1 part FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 is added to the dry mix. The mixture, brought to a slurry consistency, is spread over the substrate with a brush to a thickness of 2 mm.
5
Screed Preparation
A minimum of 350 kg of cement is mixed with 1 m³ of washed river sand of appropriate granulation. A liquid mixture prepared by adding 110 litres of water to 4 kg of FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 is added to the pre-prepared dry mix and brought to the appropriate consistency for screeding.
6
Primer Application for Waterproofing Mortars
1.00 L (1 part) FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 is mixed with 2.00 L (2 parts) water and 4 kg (4 parts) cement and applied by brush to a pre-dampened surface that has been cleaned of dirt, oil, grease and foreign matter. The surface is left to dry.
7
Waterproofing Layer Application
1.00 L (1 part) FOX BINDER FLEX FM126 and 2 kg (2 parts) cement are mixed for a maximum of 2 minutes and applied to the surface by brush at a thickness of 1–2 mm. After application, the surface must be protected from contact with water for 5–6 hours.

Critical

Application temperature must be between +5°C and +35°C. Application must not be carried out outside this range.
