Whether you’re working on a commercial or residential project, ADICEM FLOW ensures a smooth, even, and durable foundation with minimal effort.
Why Choose ADICEM FLOW?
ADICEM FLOW is a cement-based levelling compound that delivers outstanding performance for levelling and smoothing various substrates. It is:
✔ Self-levelling – ensures a flat, even surface
✔ Pumpable – ideal for large-scale applications
✔ Crack-free up to 15mm – ensuring durability
✔ Walkable in just 2-3 hours – saving time on-site
✔ No grinding required – reducing labour costs
Application Areas
ADICEM FLOW is suitable for filling, smoothing, and levelling:
• Concrete
• Sand-cement screeds
• Other common substrates
It is perfect for preparing surfaces before laying tiles, natural stone, or light floor coverings in both residential and commercial buildings. However, it is designed strictly for indoor use only.
Easy Mixing & Application
ADICEM FLOW is supplied as a grey powder that mixes easily with water. The result is a supple, flowing, and self-smoothing mortar that remains workable for around 30 minutes.
• Mixing Ratio: 5.75 – 6 litres of water per 25 kg of ADICEM FLOW
• Layer Thickness: 1 mm to 15 mm in a single layer (up to 50 mm when mixed with sand)
• Substrate Preparation: Use ARDEX P 51, P 82, or P7 primers depending on the substrate type
Fast & Efficient Levelling
At 18-20°C, the surface can be walked on after 3 hours, and layers up to 10 mm can be covered with floor finishes after 36 hours. For thicker applications, allow 72 hours drying time before installing water-sensitive materials.
Key Advantages for Contractors
• Minimal downtime – rapid drying and walkability
• Time-saving – no additional sanding required
• Reliable results – prevents shrinkage and cracking
• Versatile application – manual or pumpable installation
Important Usage Guidelines
• Only use indoors and in ambient temperatures between +5°C and +30°C
