Overview
SafetyGel® combined with PowerGel®S1+ forms the High-Adhesion Anti-Fracture TileSafe® System, engineered for installing large-format tiles and extra-large slabs of any type and size in high-traffic areas, including cracked substrates (up to 3 mm).
The elastic system helps dissipate and neutralise substrate movements and covering expansion and distributes heavy loads evenly without stress, thus preventing crack damage to the newly bonded covering.

Integrated system engineered for

• Cracked substrates up to 3 mm.
• Crack isolation > 1.66 mm according to ANSI A118.12.
• Tensile adhesion > 1.8 N/mm² according to EN 14891.
• Low thickness membrane: 1.5 mm.

System combinations and jobsite options
On jobsites where crack isolation and rapid return-to-service times (12 hours) are required, TileSafe® System can be created by combining SafetyGel® with FastGel®S1+. Where more severe stresses are expected, TileSafe® System can be created by combining SafetyGel® with PowerGel® Pro Max: its dynamic crack-isolation capacity provides monolithic structural adhesion capable of absorbing crack or joint movements > 3.2 mm. Where ultra-fast return to service (6 hours) is required, use FastGel® Pro.

Patent and innovation
TileSafe® System is a Litokol invention with International Patent Application filed no. 102025000025363. The SafetyGel® formula and its waterproof and anti-fracture membrane are protected by international patent application no. 102025000025348.

Technical characteristics / specifications

• Product type: High-adhesion anti-fracture waterproofing system for tile installations.
• Primary components: SafetyGel® (elastic waterproofing gel) + PowerGel®S1+ (anti-fracture adhesive) — alternative pairings: SafetyGel® + FastGel®S1+ or SafetyGel® + PowerGel® Pro Max / FastGel® Pro depending on job requirements.
• Suitable for: Large-format tiles and extra-large slabs of any type and size, high-traffic areas, terraces, pools, showers and critical surfaces.
• Maximum substrate crack accepted: up to 3 mm (system engineered for cracked substrates up to 3 mm).
• Crack-bridging certification / performance: crack isolation > 1.66 mm (ANSI A118.12) for the standard pairing; dynamic isolation > 3.2 mm achievable with PowerGel® Pro Max.
• Tensile adhesion: > 1.8 N/mm² (EN 14891).
• Membrane thickness (typical): 1.5 mm (low-thickness application).
• Return-to-service times: approx. 12 hours with FastGel®S1+ pairing; approx. 6 hours with FastGel® Pro for ultra-fast requirements.
• Application notes: engineered integrated system; distributes heavy loads evenly and dissipates substrate movements to prevent cracking of bonded coverings.
• Additional features: designed for dynamic compensation of substrate stresses and covering expansion; compatible with SafetyGel® technology (6-Dimensional Elasticity®).
