Question 1

What is Mapei Adesilex PG4 Kit 6kg and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

Mapei Adesilex PG4 Kit 6kg is a ready-mix epoxy mortar designed for bonding tiles and grouting in both interior and exterior settings. It combines an epoxy resin with a hardener to create a water-resistant, high-strength bond suitable for wet areas, walls, and floors, including pools, balconies, bathrooms, and wetrooms.

Question 2

What substrates can Adesilex PG4 bond to?

Accepted Answer

Adesilex PG4 bonds well to most common substrates such as concrete, cementitious screeds, plaster, terrazzo, and existing ceramic or porcelain tiles, provided the surface is clean, sound, and properly prepared.

Question 3

Can I use Adesilex PG4 Kit 6kg in wet areas like bathrooms and swimming pools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The epoxy composition provides excellent water resistance, making it suitable for bathrooms, wetrooms, balconies, and swimming pools.

Question 4

What makes Adesilex PG4 different from cement-based tile adhesives?

Accepted Answer

Adesilex PG4 is epoxy-based, delivering stronger adhesion, superior chemical and water resistance, faster initial bond, and a longer open time for tile repositioning, with no need to add water during mixing.

Question 5

What’s included in the 6 kg kit and how do I prepare it?

Accepted Answer

The kit contains pre-measured epoxy resin and hardener. To prepare, combine the two components as instructed, mix to a smooth creamy consistency, and proceed with application without adding water.

Question 6

How do I apply Adesilex PG4 Kit 6kg on walls and floors?

Accepted Answer

Prepare the substrate (clean, sound, and dry as required). Mix the resin and hardener according to the kit directions until smooth. Apply a thin bedding with a trowel, set the tiles, and adjust before the mortar tightens. Wipe and clean excess adhesive after placement.

Question 7

What does 'open time' mean for this epoxy mortar and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Open time is the period in which you can reposition tiles after placing them. It varies with temperature and humidity, and is typically longer than cement-based adhesives. Always follow the kit’s guidelines for optimal performance.

Question 8

Do I need any priming or special surface preparation before using Adesilex PG4?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ensure the substrate is clean, sound, and appropriately prepared. Some substrates may require priming or specific surface treatment as recommended by the product instructions.

Question 9

Is Adesilex PG4 safe to handle and what precautions should I take?

Accepted Answer

Wear appropriate gloves and eye protection, ensure good ventilation, avoid skin contact, and wash exposed skin with water if contact occurs. Keep away from children and store the kit in a cool, dry place.

Question 10

When can I walk on or expose the tiled area after installation?

Accepted Answer

Exposure to heavy traffic or immersion should wait until the epoxy mortar has fully cured according to the kit’s curing guidance, which depends on ambient conditions.

Question 11

Can I remove or re-lay tiles after using Adesilex PG4?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy bonds are typically very strong, and removal can be challenging. If re-tiling is necessary, plan for careful detachment and surface protection, following appropriate techniques.

Question 12

How does Adesilex PG4 Kit 6kg compare with other epoxy options on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

For larger jobs, the Adesilex PG4 Kit 12kg provides similar epoxy bonding performance with more quantity per kit. The Kerapoxy epoxy grout kit offers epoxy grout separately for joints (not a bonding mortar). If you’re considering a variant, Adesilex PG3 Kit (5kg) is a smaller alternative with a similar epoxy bonding concept. See the following product options for comparison:
