In modern construction, ceramic tile and mosaic which are used for finishing and decoration are attached to the surface by using tile adhesives. It was a long way for tiling technology to arrive at the current cement-based modified adhesive. The development in additives and modifiers are the paramount factors to improve workability, higher flexibility, long life, and better adhesion.
Tile adhesives are used to install tiles in residential and commercial buildings on floors or on walls. Depending on the local construction technology, regional needs, and building traditions, the choice of raw material, critical performance criteria as well as norms and regulations for Tile adhesives can differ from country to country. Good raw materials and high-quality additives substantially contribute to long-term performance extending the durability of the whole construction – an important aspect with regard to the sustainability of buildings as well as to their maintenance costs. The standards define that an adhesive passes certain performance tests before it may be accredited with a classification. They also reflect increasing performance needs, such as fast-setting resulting, for instance, from higher time pressure during the application or stronger adhesion, as a result of large-size tiles being used more often.
Additives have a strong impact on many of the performance criteria in Tile adhesives. Re-dispersible polymer powders and Latex Powders are used to improve deformability and high bonding strength on different substrates also under critical conditions. Both types of additives control fresh mortar properties and application performance as well as the final strengths of tile adhesives and grouts respectively.
