Elastic polymer joint with a cement look

Product Information

Special joint sealant for expansion and connection joints in ceramic tiles 2 cm thick. Because this joint sealant looks like a cement joint, the product can also be used as a replacement for conventional grouts.

Staenis practical advice: Staenis uses Cemflex for ceramic terrace tiles 2 cm thick, with joint widths starting at approximately 2-3 mm. In this application, the entire terrace can be grouted with Cemflex. Fill the upper 5 mm of the joint. On these tiles, Staenis also uses Cemflex without primer. This is Staenis application advice based on years of experience and practical trials. Remove excess sealant with a suitable finishing tool, such as a joint spatula. For a matt cement-like appearance, you can finish dry, without a smoothing agent.

Application Areas:

- For elastic jointing in cement look of ceramics 2 cm thick.
- As an expansion joint, visually indistinguishable from the cement joint.

Application and preparation

1. Contact surfaces must be dry, clean and free from grease and dust. The manufacturer describes Cleaner A for natural and artificial stone, tiles, ceramics, glass, unpainted wood and metals, and Cleaner I for plastics and painted surfaces. Check suitability for the material used.
2. Prevent three-sided adhesion and use suitable backing in deep joints. The manufacturer describes closed-cell PE outdoors or in wet areas and open-cell PUR for the other applications specified. For the Staenis terrace detail above: joint widths from approximately 2-3 mm, filling the upper 5 mm.
3. Protect joint edges with masking tape suitable for stone.
4. Staenis also uses Cemflex without primer on the 2 cm ceramic terrace tiles described above. For other applications, the manufacturer's original primer table provides general recommendations for outdoor use, wet areas and special substrates.
5. Apply at +5 °C to +35 °C.
6. Apply the sealant and smooth within 5 to 10 minutes using a suitable finishing tool. For an optimum matt effect, finish dry without a smoothing agent.
7. Remove masking tape before skin formation, pulling in the direction of the joint.
8. Curing depends on thickness, temperature and relative humidity and is approximately 1 to 3 mm per 24 hours.
9. According to the manufacturer, tools can be cleaned with Cleaner A. Also follow the cleaner’s safety instructions.
