Description
Litokol PowerGel Pro Max – High-Strength Elastic Epoxy Gel Adhesive & Waterproofing
Litokol PowerGel Pro Max is a premium 3rd-generation epoxy gel adhesive that delivers exceptional bonding strength with permanent elasticity and full built-in waterproofing. Engineered with advanced structural gelification technology, this high-performance adhesive is designed for the most demanding installations of glass mosaics, porcelain, large-format tiles, marble, natural stone, and more.
Its creamy, thixotropic consistency provides excellent workability on both floors and walls. The formula creates a flexible, anti-fracture bond that handles cracks up to 3 mm wide and substrates with residual moisture up to 5%. It acts as both a powerful adhesive and a complete waterproofing membrane in one step — ideal for pools, showers, balconies, terraces, facades, and high-traffic commercial areas.
PowerGel Pro Max bonds virtually any material to almost any substrate, including wood, metal, PVC, fiberglass, and existing waterproofing membranes, without chemical compatibility issues. It’s Zherorisk® oxirane-free, making it safer for installers and the environment.
