Accepted Answer

Under typical conditions, a 25 kg bag provides coverage of about 6 m2, depending on tile size, substrate flatness, and application method.

Question 5

How do I mix and apply Adesilex P9?

Accepted Answer

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions: mix the white powder with clean water to form a smooth, creamy adhesive. Use a suitable notched trowel to apply the adhesive to the substrate, then comb ridges as required for tile size and type, and press tiles firmly into place to ensure full bedding.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Grouting should be performed after the adhesive has reached its initial set and achieved sufficient bond strength. Environment conditions (temperature and humidity) affect setting times, so follow the product’s guidance for your specific job site.

Question 11

How should I decide between Adesilex P9 and other adhesives on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

If you’re tiling in areas with moisture or exterior exposure, or working with large or irregular tiles, evaluate alternatives like higher‑flexibility or fast‑setting cementitious adhesives available on Fepy and compare: bond strength, open time, substrate compatibility, and coverage per bag. For examples of available alternatives on Fepy, you can review pages such as Mapei Ultraflex LFT and Mapei Kerabond (or other cementitious tile adhesives) on Fepy to determine the best match for your project.
