Soudal Fix All X-Treme Power EXPRESS

Soudal Fix All X-Treme Power EXPRESS sets a new standard in the adhesive market, combining extreme tack with super fast setting capabilities for urgent and demanding bonding tasks. Based on the innovative SMX® Hybrid Polymer, this adhesive delivers a stable paste consistency that cures rapidly upon exposure to moisture, achieving a robust bond with impressive mechanical properties in record time.

The adhesive's skin formation occurs in approximately 4 minutes at 23°C/50% RH, with a curing speed that allows a significant build-up of strength within 24 hours, making it an ideal choice for projects requiring swift progression. It boasts a hardness of approximately 75 ± 5 Shore A and can accommodate maximum distortion up to ± 20%, evidencing its flexibility and strength. With a high elasticity modulus and an elongation at break of about 200%, it offers outstanding elasticity and tensile strength, ensuring durable, long-lasting bonds.

Soudal Fix All X-Treme Power EXPRESS is characterised by its ability to adhere to nearly all surfaces, even under slightly moist conditions, and its compatibility with water-based paints allows for easy finishing of bonded areas without the risk of staining on porous substrates like marble and granite. This adhesive is not only potent but also user and environmentally friendly, emitting no odour and free from solvents.

 

Product Benefits:

  • Extreme High Initial Tack: An incredible initial grab of minimum 400 kg/m² ensures immediate and secure bonding, crucial for time-sensitive and heavy-duty applications.

  • Super Fast Setting: Accelerated curing process allows for a rapid build-up of bond strength, facilitating quicker project completion and handling.

  • Versatility in Application: Can be applied in all weather conditions and on both wet and damp surfaces, offering flexibility across a wide range of indoor and outdoor projects.

  • Fungicide Enriched: Makes it ideal for high moisture environments like kitchens and bathrooms, providing added protection against mould and mildew.

  • Enhanced Mechanical Properties: Exhibits high hardness, tensile strength, and elasticity, ensuring a durable, elastic bond capable of withstanding various stresses.

  • Primerless Adhesion: Bonds effectively to most construction materials without the need for a primer, simplifying the application process.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Formulated without solvents, emitting no odour, and offering good resistance to environmental elements and chemicals.

  • Excellent Workability: The inclusion of a triangular-shaped nozzle enhances application precision, improving workability and finish.

 

Typical Applications:

  • Bonding Porous Natural Stone: Exceptional adhesion to natural stone without staining, making it ideal for marble and granite applications.

  • Sealing and Filling: Its elasticity and resistance to water and chemicals allow for effective sealing of joints and gaps, preventing water ingress and chemical damage.

 

Substrate Suitability:

Soudal Fix All X-Treme Power EXPRESS is compatible with an extensive range of building materials, making it a versatile choice for various projects. It bonds exceptionally well to concrete, brick, wood, metal, plasterboard, and numerous other substrates.

It adheres exceptionally well to metals such as stainless steel, AlMgSi1, electro-galvanized steel, AlCuMg1, hot dip galvanized steel, AlMg3, and steel ST1403.

It also has good adhesion to plastics including polystyrene, PVC, polyamide, fiberglass reinforced epoxy, and polyester.

However, it's important to note that it is not suitable for PE, PP, PTFE, bituminous substrates, copper, or copper-containing materials like bronze and brass.

Special caution should be taken with plastics prone to stress cracking and crazing, such as PMMA and polycarbonate, where the product is not recommended for use.

 

Surface Preparation:

Proper surface preparation is key to achieving a strong and durable bond.

Fix All X-Treme Power EXPRESS has primerless adhesion on most surfaces, however porous surfaces in water-loaded applications should be primed with Soudal Primer 150 to ensure optimum adhesion. Smooth surfaces must be thoroughly degreased before application to remove any contaminants that could impair the adhesive's performance.

Additionally, when bonding plastics, any releasing agents, processing aids, or other protective agents must be removed. The use of a Surface Activator is recommended to enhance adhesion on challenging surfaces.

Conducting a preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on each surface is crucial to ensure the suitability of the product for your specific application.

 

Application Method:

For application, use a caulking gun to apply the adhesive onto one of the surfaces in beads or dabs, spacing them approximately every 15cm, especially focusing on the edges and corners of panels for a secure bond.

After applying the adhesive, press the two surfaces together firmly and batten them down with a rubber hammer to ensure full contact and eliminate any air pockets.

Depending on the weight and dimensions of the materials being bonded, supporting the materials until the adhesive has fully cured, which typically takes between 24-48 hours, may be necessary.

 

Finishing:

Soudal Fix All X-Treme Power EXPRESS offers good workability for finishing applications.

Once the adhesive is applied and the materials are in place, any excess adhesive should be smoothed out promptly before it begins to cure to ensure a clean and professional finish.

The product's fast curing nature requires quick action to achieve the desired aesthetics.

 

Cleaning:

For cleaning uncured adhesive, Soudal Swipex Cleaning Wipes are effective and provide a convenient solution for removing any excess or spills.

In the event that the adhesive cures before removal, mechanical means of removal are required. Soudal Sealant Remover Spray can be used to aid in the removal of cured adhesive, following the product's instructions for the best results.

 

Remarks:

  • Fix ALL X-Treme Power Express is paintable with most water-based paints, however due to the large number of paints and varnishes available we strongly suggest a compatibility test before application.

  • Fix ALL X-Treme Power Express can be applied to a wide variety of substrates. Due to the fact that specific substrates such as plastics, like polycarbonate, etc, may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, we recommend preliminary compatibility test.

  • Fix ALL X-Treme Power Express can not be used as a glazing sealant.

  • Not suitable for bonding aquariums.

  • Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible.

  • When using different reactive joint sealants, the first joint sealant must be completely hardened before the next one is applied.

  • Fix ALL X-Treme Power Express has a good UV resistance but can discolour under extreme conditions or after very long UV exposure.

  • Discoloration due to chemicals, high temperatures, UV-radiation may occur. A change in colour does not affect the technical properties of the product.

  • Contact with bitumen, tar or other plasticizer releasing materials such as EPDM, neoprene, butyl, etc. is to be avoided since it can give rise to discolouration and loss of adhesion.
