BAL AF Max – Rubber-Crumb Tile Adhesive with Built-In Uncoupling System
BAL AF Max is a high-yield, rubber-crumb tile adhesive that combines an uncoupling system and fixing adhesive in one solution – eliminating the need for separate uncoupling mats. Designed with advanced anti-fracture technology, it absorbs lateral floor movement, preventing tile cracks and failures.
With a high yield of up to 8.5m² per 17kg bag, you’ll need just 4 bags for a 30m² area, making it a cost-effective solution. Compared to traditional uncoupling mat systems, BAL AF Max offers:
- 40% lower material costs
- 70% faster installation time
- 70% less material weight
Key Benefits
- 2-in-1 solution – adhesive + uncoupling system in one
- No uncoupling mats required – mix with water and apply directly
- Anti-fracture performance – absorbs stress, protects tiles from cracking
- Huge savings – up to 40% lower cost, 70% less time, and 70% fewer materials compared to mat + adhesive systems
- Lightweight installation – less to carry, store, and install
- Meets Building Regulations Part E for sound resistance
