ARDEX X 7 R and ARDEX X 7 R W are rapid setting, cement-based floor and wall tile adhesives with enhanced properties of adhesion and flexibility that allow grouting to commence after just 2 hours.
The BS EN 12004 C2 T classification for ARDEX X 7 R classifies it as an ‘improved cementitious adhesive with additional characteristics and reduced slip’, whilst the C2 TE classification for ARDEX X 7 R W classifies it as an ‘improved cementitious adhesive with reduced slip and extended open time’.
Additional characteristics include tensile adhesion strengths of:
- greater than 1 N/mm2 adhesion value,
- greater than 1 N/mm2 after water immersion,
- greater than 1 N/mm2 after heat aging,
- greater than 1 N/mm2 after freeze thaw cycling, making this product suitable for internal and external situations, including swimming pools.
ARDEX X 7 and ARDEX X 7 R W are mixed to a semi-pourable consistency, ideal for fixing large format floor tiles and to help achieve solid bed fixing with minimal effort; or to a slump-free mix with high initial grab, enabling wall and skirting/ coving tiles to be fixed.
