Contex Admixture

Trowel-applied flooring underlayment for larger projects and thicker installations.

Dex-O-Tex Contex Concrete Admixture is a trowel-applied flooring underlayment designed for larger projects and thicker installations. Its synthetic polymeric latex emulsion serves as an additive for cementitious-based aggregates, which greatly improves adhesion, compressive strength, water absorption, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength.

Contex Admixture can be installed at temperatures as low as 50°F/10°C and used for both interior and exterior applications. It is also environmentally friendly with zero VOC content and minimal odor.

Advantages

• Zero VOC content
• Environmentally safe

• Application thickness of 1/4” (6.35mm) or thicker
• Improves adhesion, compressive strength, water absorption, abrasion resistance and tensile strength of cementitious based compounds
• Can be used to create slope for drainage
• Can be installed at lower temperatures (as low as 50°F/ 10°C)
• Installed only by professional, factory-trained Dex-O-Tex contractors
