Beyem Quick

BEYEM QUICK is a fast setting, high performance cement based tile adhesive (C2FTS1), formulated with cement, selected aggregates, special additives and synthetic resins to improve workability, water retentivity, open time and adhesion. Deformable. No vertical slip. Allows adjustment of tiles. Especially suitable for fixing porcelain tiles and natural stone, large formats and facade tiling. Ideal for applications where surfaces need to be quickly back in service.

• High  resistance to water and thermal shocks.
• High deformability.
• High water retentivity.
• High mechanical  strength.
• Extended  open time. Allows adjustement of tiles.
• Easy workable. Highly thixotropic.
• No vertical slip.
• Especially suitable for  fixing large formats,  industrial and commercial  applications (heavy traffic…)  and underfloor heating or  undertile warming. 

Laying of ceramic tiles of low/medium/high absorption in interior and exterior situations to walls and floors. Especially suitable for laying low absorption and large formats ceramic tiles (porcelain, marble, natural stone…) in exterior walls and floors. Especially suitable for industrial and commercial applications (heavy traffic…) and underfloor heating or undertile warming. Ideal for applications where surfaces need to be quickly back in service (public buildings, supermarkets, refrigeration units…).

BEYEM QUICK is suitable for:

• Cement  based substrates.Cement based renders /plasters and screeds.
• Cement based waterproofing membranes.
• Concrete floors.
• Plasterboards.
• Compact natural stone,  underfloor heating and existing  ceramic substrates.

Substrates must be clean, compact and free of substances that reduce adhesion such as dust, oil, grease and with no loose material. Uneven areas must be corrected with suitable smoothing and finishing products. Substrates must be free from any rising damp and have already completed the curing period of hygrometric shrinkage. Dampen substrates with water to cool down if they should be too warm, in case of wind or over absorbent substrates and wait until the thin layer of water disappears. Do not use on gypsum based plasters or paint.

Mix manually of mechanically BEYEM QUICK with 5,25-6,25 l per bag of clean water until a homogeneous, creamy and lump-free paste  is obtained. Let the mix stand for 5 minutes before application.

Small tiles must be fixed using  a notched trowel of 6×6 mm. For tiles sizes greater than 400 cm²,  a notched trowel  8×8 mm  must be used.  Spread the mixed product onto the substrate to a maximum surface area of 1 m² or no more than can be tiled within 30 minutes in normal conditions. Unfavorable environmental conditions (strong sunlight, drying wind, high temperature as well as a highly absorbent substrate), could drastically reduce this time to a few minutes. Bed the tiles firmly into the adhesive with a slight sliding and/or twisting action, to ensure a good contact and complete coverage.

It is good practice to lift an occasional tile after fixing, to verify that the required contact is being achieved. Back of the tile must be completely wet.

• On gypsum substrates, apply BEYEM FIJADOR primer before , to avoid contact between gypsum and the cement of the adhesive, avoiding adverse reactions.
• Do not apply on plastic, metal or wood.
• Do not apply below 5ºC or above 30ºC.
• Do not apply when there is  risk of frost, rain, strong wind or direct sunlight.
• Leave joints between tiles with a minimum width of 2 mm. Grout with  BEYEM JUNTA UNIVERSAL / BEYEM JUNTA EXTRAFINA.
• On floors  with a surface area greater than 30 m² , it is recommended to leave separation or sealing joints filled with a deformable material.
• On interior floorings larger than 15 m², it is advisable to keep a free perimeter expansion joint between the floor and the wall or pillar, hidden by a skirting board (of approximately 5 mm).
• On facades and external cladding , the material should always be fixed with anchors or  mechanical fixings,  when some of the following conditions apply:  format above 900 cm², one side of the largest piece is larger than 60 cm, weight above 40 kg/m² or height  of tiling up  than 3 metres.
• Existing ceramic  tile/natural stone: requires preliminary treatment.
• Underfloor heating/warming:  the heating  must be off, and should be turned on  gradually at least  7 days after tiling  and grouting.
• The temperature, ventilation, and absorption of the substrate and covering materials , may vary the adhesive workability and setting times.

BEYEM QUICK is packed 25 kg plastic lined paper bags.

Storage:  when stored unopened in a cool dry place, shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.

Tools can be cleaned easily with water before the product hardens. Hardened product can be remove only mechanically.

Laying of ceramic tiles, marble or natural stone, must be carried out with cement based adhesive compliant with EN 12004 – class C2FTS1, such as Beyem Quick manufactured by Rodacal Beyem company. The substrate must be compact, free from any flaky, loose parts and must be clean and cured, having already completed the shrinkage stage. Existing joints must be respected and elastic fractionizing and perimeter joints must be created. Ceramic tiles must be laid with joint-gap spacers with a width of ___ mm.
