Tile Adhesives

Since the purpose is the difference, the required properties of the two also differ widely. For tile adhesive (wall application) parameters such as Open Time, Correction Time, Sag Resistance, Shear Adhesion and Tensile Adhesion strength are very important while for a mortar, Split-Tensile Strength and sometimes even Compressive Strength are of prime importance.

Applying tile adhesive with notched trowel provides full spread on the back of tiles and will reduce many problems like broken tiles esp. on the corner, water seeping, and stain or efflorescent. Full contact of the adhesive on tiles’ back and substrate provides strong bonding strength and long-lasting tiling work.

Tile adhesive is a special type of glue used to fix tiles all around the home. Tile adhesive is a ready-made mixture made from Portland cement, polymers such as epoxy and selected aggregate particles with some additives added in it to improve its property for laying tiles.

Tile adhesives are used for fixing tiles on the walls, floors, swimming pools, etc., which may have any type of substrate such as cement, wood, glass, etc. They are primarily based on cement, epoxy and polymer.
