Before selecting the right adhesive cement, it is important to know the different nomenclatures that all types of cementitious adhesives have.
The C classification indicates the type of product, we already know with this what a Cementitious Adhesive is.
In addition, we must know the specific characteristics, which can be:
- Class 1: Regular adhesive
- Class 2: Improved Adhesive
- Class F: Fast-setting adhesive
- Class T: Reduced slip adhesive
- Class E: Extended Open Time Adhesive
- Class S1: Adhesive deformable against movements and thermal changes in its useful life.
- Class S2: Highly deformable adhesive
Thus, to give a real example, our Flex White adhesive cement that is type C2TES1 has the following characteristics:
- C-> It is a cementitious adhesive
- 2 -> It is an improved adhesive
- T-> It is a reduced slip adhesive
- E-> is an extended open-time adhesive. Allows for more working time.
- S1-> It is a deformable adhesive
