BAL AF MAX – Rubber-Crumb Floor Tile Adhesive & Uncoupling System (Grey, 17kg)

BAL AF MAX is a next-generation rubber-crumb based floor tile adhesive that combines both uncoupling and fixing in a single, high-performance product. Designed to simplify installation, AF MAX eliminates the need for the traditional adhesive–mat–adhesive method, providing a faster, lighter, and more efficient solution for tiling over challenging substrates.

Key Features:

Uncoupling & Fixing in One – no need for separate uncoupling mats; tiles are fixed straight onto the substrate.
Anti-Fracture Properties – absorbs lateral stress and movement, protecting against cracked grout, tenting, or cracked tiles.
Lightweight & Efficient – over 70% less weight of total materials required, and less than ⅓ of the materials to carry or store.
Time-Saving – reduces installation time by up to 70% versus traditional mat systems, saving as much as 2–2.5 hours per 30m².
Fast Application – grout in as little as 5 hours.
Versatile Use – suitable for most tile types in both interior and exterior, dry or wet areas.
Coverage – approx. 7.4m² – 8.5m² per 17kg bag.

How It Works:

Problematic substrates often transmit lateral stress movement to the tiled surface, causing visible failures like cracked grout or tiles. BAL AF MAX prevents this by absorbing and dissipating lateral stresses, ensuring a secure, long-lasting tile installation.

By combining separation, movement control, and absorption into one adhesive, BAL AF MAX delivers an advanced fixing solution that eliminates the need for extra installation stages.
