Technical data

Acoustical results - Impact noise reduction - 3 mm
- ΔLW = 16 dB with ceramic tiles
- EN ISO 140-8) (ISO 10140-1) (ISO 717-2)
  ΔLW = 19 dB with laminate
- EN ISO 140-8) (ISO 10140-1) (ISO 717-2)
  ΔLW = 16 dB with glued down wood
- EN ISO 140-8) (ISO 10140-1) (ISO 717-2)
  ΔLW = 19 dB with LVT flooring
- The above values are based on laboratory tests and determined according to DIN EN ISO 140-8 standards,which serve as guiding values. Actual effect and performance will determine on the specific construction and flooring. On site values can be determined by means of trial installation and measuring.

Application

Surfaces

Concrete with or without underfloor heating, existing tiles and terrazzo.
Use as bonded or floating coating on screed.
For further information or details, please contact our Technical Services Dept.

Surface preparation

The surface should be dimensionally stable, sound, clean and free from dust and laitance. For surfaces requiring bonded coating, broom or brush the surface with a mixture of Alfix PlaneMixPrimer and Alfix PlaneMix 100 in the ratio 1:1.
Apply the mixture thoroughly by use of brush or broom and work it well into the surface.
Do not allow the slurry to dry before further treatment.
Ensure a room temperature of min. +10°C.

How to use

When used for direct tile installation, the application of Acoustic PS3 – Recycled is restricted to load
category C1 in accordance with DS/EN 1991-1-1:2007.
Max. surface load: 2.5 kN/m²
Max. spot load: 3.0 kN distributed over 0.1 x 0.1 m pressure distributing panel.
Under no circumstances should pallet trucks, Ride-On floor-washers or other transport equipment with
hard wheels be used on areas of tile laid on Acoustic PS3 – Recycled.
The impact noise values stated in this product information are material values obtained as laboratory
measurements in accordance with DIN EN ISO 140-8. They are intended exclusively as indicative values.
The effect improvement achieved in the construction in question will depend on the structure of the
construction as a whole.

NB! We recommend performing an impact noise measurement of the structure before starting to install the
impact noise-insulation mat. Use the results of the measurement to assess whether the impact
noise-insulation mat will meet the requirements for the desired impact noise level.
The impact noise reduction achieved after fitting the mat, etc. should be verified using a test installation
and test measurement, and if impact noise levels have been specified for the construction in question,
we recommend involving a sound technician in the project.

Top floorings of wood, laminate and LVT
Glue and fix directly onto Alfix Acoustic PS3 Recycled in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

Water proofing
When used in wet rooms, tanking is always required and hence, apply Alfix 1K Sealing membrane or Alfix 2K Sealing membrane onto Acoustic PS3 - Recycled.

Tile fixing
Fix tiles using a flexible tile adhesive, such as Alfix CombiQuickFix or Alfix ProFix. For compatibility, test product on limited trial area.

Tile sizes
Min. tile size is 10 x 10 cm. Min. thickness of ceramic tiles: 9 mm. Natural stone: 15 mm.

Grouting
For grouting, use Alfix UniversalFuge CeraFill 10 or Alfix QuickFuge Premium 8.
For sealing of pipe penetrations and movement joints where wall abuts floor, use Alfix M-Silicon.
Any expansion or movement from the substrate should always be upwards directed and into the flooring.
