ARDEX AF 200 PLUS is a ready-mixed adhesive specifically designed for installing fleece-backed uncoupling mats before tiling. It offers excellent grab and an exceptionally long tack time, providing strong early and long-term adhesive bond strength. This allows matting systems to be installed within 5 minutes to 1 hour after application, enabling immediate tiling once the matting is in place. Additionally, ARDEX AF 200 PLUS complies with the EMICODE licence ‘EC1 PLUS’, ensuring the lowest emission limits. It is suitable for fixing fleece-backed uncoupling matting to timber, concrete, and cement/sand screed subfloors and can be used with standard underfloor heating systems.

 

Key Points:

  1. ARDEX AF 200 PLUS is a ready-mixed adhesive ideal for fleece-backed uncoupling mats prior to tiling.
  2. It features excellent grab, long tack time, and strong adhesive bond strength, allowing matting to be installed in 5 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Tiling can commence immediately after matting installation.
  4. It meets EMICODE ‘EC1 PLUS’ guidelines for low emissions and is suitable for various subfloors, including those with underfloor heating.

 

Coverage: A 6kg container of ARDEX AF 200 PLUS covers approximately 19m² of matting, while a 14kg container covers around 45m². For optimal coverage, apply the adhesive using a B1 or 2mm x 6mm V-notched trowel at a 45° angle.

Storage and Shelf Life: ARDEX AF 200 PLUS has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored properly, between 5°C and 30°C, in its original, unopened containers.

ARDEX AF 200 PLUS is designed for securing fleece-backed uncoupling matting to timber, concrete, and cement/sand screed subfloors before tiling. It is also compatible with standard underfloor heating systems.

 

 

SURFACE PREPARATION
Ensure adequate ventilation in the workspace. For uneven subfloors, use a suitable ARDEX levelling compound, such as ARDITEX NA or ARDEX K 39, to create a smooth, level surface. Although priming is generally not required, highly absorbent surfaces may benefit from priming with ARDEX P 51, diluted 1:3 with cold, clean water, to maintain the adhesive’s open time and optimize coverage.

For timber subfloors, ensure they are load-bearing, clean, dry, and free of dust or contaminants. Chipboard floors should be free of wax-based waterproofing, fire retardants, or any barriers to adhesion. Any necessary repairs, such as securing or replacing damaged boards, should be completed before applying ARDEX AF 200 PLUS.

For concrete or cement/sand screeds, confirm the subfloor is dry (below 75% RH) and contains a functional damp-proof membrane. If a damp-proof membrane is missing or RH exceeds 75%, consult ARDEX Technical Services.

NOTE FOR CALCIUM SULPHATE-BASED SCREEDS
Ensure calcium sulphate screeds (e.g., anhydrite or hemihydrate screeds) are dry, with moisture content below 0.5%, before applying the uncoupling matting. Typically, these surfaces are abraded (e.g., belt sanding) to remove any weak material. After preparation, prime with ARDEX P 51, diluted 1:3 with clean water, and allow it to dry. For added adhesion, ARDEX AF 200 PLUS can be applied once tacky. Depending on the gypsum screed supplier’s instructions, a sand-blinded epoxy primer like ARDEX R 3 E may be needed, followed by ARDEX Cement-Based Tile Adhesive to secure the matting.

MIXING
ARDEX AF 200 PLUS is ready to use; however, for best results, mix thoroughly to ensure even polymer distribution before application.

APPLICATION
Dry-lay the uncoupling matting first to ensure precise fitting. Using a B1 or 2mm x 6mm V-notched trowel, apply a ribbed bed of ARDEX AF 200 PLUS to the subfloor, allowing it to air for 5-10 minutes. Lay the matting fleece-side down into the adhesive while it is still wet or tacky, pressing firmly with a steel trowel and aligning edges. The matting should be installed within the 60-minute open time and can be adjusted for up to 20 minutes. Tiling can begin immediately.
