2 part flexi adhesive

[Turkish]

Hi all,

Can someone please explain to me what 2 part flexi adhesive is? I`ve heard of and seen single part flexi but not this 2 part. What`s the difference?

Cheers

2 part flexible, along with silicone can be used on steel,as well as timber,sets like the proverbial...you dont want to remove a floor fitted with it....it rips he wood apart....Gaz

We have an adhesive that is single used a C2TE adhesive acc. to EN 12004 without tested flexibility. But it can be combined with a liquid resin dispersion and than has S2 flexibility acc. to EN 12002. I recommend this for tiles on bridges, at towers, inside tunnels and on ships.

Ardex ardion 90 liquid goes with most of their cement range. i find it more flexible than most single part flexibles and easier to use than bal flex.
