Expertly formulated with ISOMAT’s innovative Crystal Gel technology, it features quicker setting and hardening times than traditional standard-set adhesives (3-6 h), no matter the season, thus speeding up project completion. Provides no vertical slip and long open and correction times, even at high temperatures. Plus, thanks to its creamy consistency, it ensures outstanding workability and effortless application along with full tile and substrate wettability.
Application fields: For fixing absorbent and non-absorbent wall and floor tiles, including natural stone, decorative bricks and large-format tiles, to a variety of substrates, especially where high adhesion and moisture resistance are required. For interior and exterior use.

Crystal Seeding technology
This technology is based on the acceleration of the main phase of cement hydration because of the crystallization seeds present in its unique formula. ISOMAT AK-18 CRYSTAL GEL features relatively quicker setting and hardening times than a traditional standard-setting adhesive while its performance remains almost unaffected by application temperature compared to fast-setting and standard-setting adhesives. Plus, it is ideal for laying of large-format tiles, even in lower and higher temperatures.

Gel Properties
Based on water-swellable polymers, ISOMAT AK-18 CRYSTAL GEL features innovative properties mainly in terms of ease of application, wettability and adhesion to substrates and tiles.  Its smooth, creamy consistency ensures excellent workability and easier spreading while its thixotropic formulation with no vertical slip guarantees a successful application to walls (vertical surfaces). With a water ratio adjustable consistency, it makes floor tile installation easier and faster. its effortless application is paired with longer open and correction times for an even easier laying process. Also, thanks to the uniform distribution of the resin in its mass and its excellent wettability, it shows improved flexibility while achieving voidfree, solid bed fixing with ease.

ISOMAT AK-18 CRYSTAL GEL provides high initial and final adhesion strength along with great performance in harsh conditions, including moisture, frost, and high temperatures.
