What is Tile Adhesive?

Tile Adhesive is formulated polymer modified, flexible glue that can be used to fix different types of tiles including mosaic tiles, ceramic tiles, clay & ceramic (non-vitrified) tiles of small and large dimensions, engineered and all natural stone tiles amongst others.

Enhancing the quality of binding the tiles to the surface, tile adhesive is a readily available mixture made up of Portland cement, polymers, selected aggregate particles with added additives. It contains specialized chemicals which provide reduced shrinkage with excellent adhesive properties and superior strength. It is very flexible to accommodate thermal & physical movements and is applied in both wet and dry areas.

Difference between Tile Adhesive and Cement

Traditionally, tiles used to be bonded with cement mortar and cement slurry. Due to the drying nature, cement after application would create vacant spaces below the tile surface eventually leading to cracked and chipped tiles in a noticeably short tenure. Prior to using cement, natural sand sources were at the rescue.

Using tile adhesive for laying tiles with a notched trowel requires less material. The adhesive layer is thinner than the sand-cement mixture, leading to lighter load to building structure.

Tile adhesives were primarily designed for efficiently binding tiles to the surfaces with ease. The use of polymers and graded aggregates improves its workability and provides exceptional adhesive along with imparting water-proofing properties. As for the bonding strength, tile adhesive is superior to cement mortar mix, providing greater durability.

Types of Tile Adhesives

There are five types of Tile Adhesives available based on their application and as per IS 15477:2019. Classified as Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, and Type 5, they are defined and distinguished based on the following three aspects:

• Chemistry – Dispersion, reactive resin, and cementitious
• Performance – Regular or improved/heavy duty
• Other characteristics – Quick setting, no shrinkage, reduced slip, etc.

Type 1: This is suitable for tiles with apparent porosity >3% and used for all clay and ceramic (non-vitrified) tiles of small dimensions (<= 300mm x300mm) and most cement-based backgrounds including cement plaster, cement concrete, cement screed, amongst othe
