H40 Gel

The first guaranteed, long-lasting multipurpose gel adhesive

GreenBuilding Rating 225 kgAs required

H40 Gel is the result of Kerakoll's exclusive Gel-Technology research — a scientific study of natural elements and eco-friendly raw materials. The innovative gel mix is the pillar on which durability performance is based. There is no such thing as high, durable performance without perfect workability. H40 Gel combines great fluidity under the trowel with the capacity to support weights and maintain shapes, ensuring easier work on site. Thanks to variable consistency, the mix is always fluid and thixotropic at the same time, guaranteeing total wettability at all times. The adhesion performance of H40 Gel is calibrated to the site's actual needs and verified with stringent tests — 20 mechanical stress cycles, 50 thermal stress cycles, and 50 freeze-thaw cycles.

Technology

From adhesive to gel adhesive.

Gel-Technology is an exclusive technical-scientific research that studies the behaviour of natural elements and eco-friendly raw materials. Applied to adhesives it ensures the perfect balance between final performance and ease of use on site. The perfect gel formula is based on six fundamental parameters: Weight support with no shrinkage, Full wettability, Resistance to heat, Shear strength, Resistance in water, and Extreme fluidity.

Applications

The best choice for all uses.

Large Format Slabs

H40 Gel provides superior wettability and allows easy full-bedding with a thixotropic & fluid mix, which is easy to spread and at the same time supports the weight of the slab with no shrinkage. High resistance to shear stresses caused by longitudinal deformations, and extended open time allow for safe and durable fixing.

Swimming Pools

H40 Gel's superior wettability enables a monolithic bonded system to be obtained even in swimming pools, where adhesion is guaranteed in continuous immersion. The consistently thixotropic & fluid mix allows unique workability on walls and floors with all materials commonly used in swimming pools.

Heavy Traffic

In areas subject to heavy traffic it is essential to ensure total wettability in order to easily obtain full-bedding and create a monolithic fixed surface. Thanks to its superior wettability and resistance to shear actions generated by dynamic loads, H40 Gel provides a structural type of adhesion, capable of distributing stresses and absorbing dynamic loads.

Facades

H40 Gel's superior wettability and consistently thixotropic & fluid mix allows for easy full-bedding, even on facades, with no vertical slip even in case of large slabs. Thanks to the extended open time, even large formats can be safely fixed on facades, where H40 Gel guarantees resistance to shear stresses caused by significant temperature variations.

Waterproofing Systems

The perfect fusion of Aquastop Nanoflex and H40 Gel guarantees waterproofing of the fixing, and resistance to water and shear stresses. Superior wettability makes it easy to achieve full-bedding and ensure the durability of the entire fixing system.
