Technical Data	Material Structure Contains mineral fillers, synthetic admixtures and special cement Density 1.4 kg / +25°C Temperature of the Surface to be Applied +5°C , +25°C Operation temperature -20°C - +80°C Surface Operation Time 2 hours Opening to Pedestrian Traffic 24 hours Flexural Strength  Approximately 3.5 N/mm² Pressure Endurance Approximately 20 N/mm² Storage Its shelf life is approximately 12 months. Products should be stored in a cool and dry environment provided that maximum 5 bags will be put on top of each other.
Preparing The Surface	You should wait enough for the adherence of ceramics and tiles. Before the application of grouting, the surface should be cleaned by means of comb or an appropriate grouting stick, and should be moisten by means of wet sponge
Instructions for Preparing	Appropriate water amount (6,2 lt water for 20 kg sack) is poured into clean mixing pot. By shedding powder material on it, the mixture is properly stirred until there is no lump in it. After it is rested for 2-3 minutes, it is stirred again. CVC JF Flex is laid on ceramics by means of rubber trowel, and the joint intervals are filled. Surplus material is diagonally taken from the joints. For the deep joints, first of all it should be waited for the material to be absorbed and this process should be done again. İt is waited for the material to be resistant against finger pressure. Whole surface is glazed with a wet sponge and watered. This process is made in order to balance the hydration, and the surplus materials are cleaned and CVC JF Flex are given their final shapes.    The following day, ceramics are polished by means of dry and clean cloth after the material is dried.
Points to take into Consideration	• CVC JF Flex shouldn’t be used under +5°C temperatures and under rainy and windy weathers.   • Water or powder mortar shouldn’t be added to CVC JF Flex which started to dry.  • 15-20 minutes after the material is applied, finger pressure test should be carried out. If the material resist to finger pressure and the fingers are not contaminated by the materials in the finger test, • CVC JF Flex should be watered and then the ceramics are polished by means of dry and clean cloth and CVC JF Flex should be shaped by being moisten.  As a result, CVC JF Flex is ensured to be dust and crack fee and the excellent surface smoothness is ensured.
