Tile Adhesive
Tile adhesive
With the continuous innovation of science and technology, the decoration building materials field has also ushered in many upgrades, and tile back adhesive is one of the highly practical innovative products. In the current decoration market, more and more homeowners prefer high-end tiles such as marble and large-sized sintered stone to create a more high-end and textured spatial visual effect. Although such tiles are outstanding in aesthetics, the traditional bonding methods are often difficult to meet the requirements of their stable paving during the construction process. The emergence of tile back adhesive just provides a key solution for the smooth construction of high-end tiles.

 

Tile back adhesive, also often called tile adhesive, its core function is to serve as an interface treatment agent on the back of tiles, acting precisely between rigid tiles and tile adhesive. It has a unique elastic characteristic, which is similar to a spring in daily life. It can skillfully resolve the additional interlayer stress generated between tiles and tile adhesive during environmental changes or long-term use, thereby greatly improving the safety and reliability of tile paving and making the tiles more stable and durable after paving.

 

It should be particularly noted that tile back adhesive and tile adhesive are not the same product; they cannot be confused, let alone replaced with each other. Tile adhesive is usually made of inorganic cementitious materials such as cement and sand, and imported polymer additives are added to enhance its bonding performance; while the main component of tile back adhesive is high molecular polymer, and its mechanism of action and application scenarios are essentially different from those of tile adhesive. Therefore, tile back adhesive cannot directly replace tile adhesive, nor can it be directly used for tile wall paving like cement. It must be used in conjunction with tile adhesive in accordance with the correct construction process to exert its best effect.

 

The advantages of tile back adhesive are very significant, which can be reflected in the following aspects:

 

  1. Enhance bonding stability and reduce construction risks: After applying tile back adhesive, it can effectively reduce the error of tile adhesive during the construction process and further strengthen the adhesion between tiles and the wall base. Before paving tiles, professional interface treatment on the back of tiles can further improve the bonding effect between tiles and tile adhesive and significantly increase the bonding strength between tiles and the base. Especially in scenarios where the environmental temperature and humidity change greatly, such as during seasonal alternations, the sharp fluctuations in temperature will cause thermal expansion and contraction of tiles and the bonding layer. At this time, the bonding interface between tiles and tile adhesive is prone to generate large interlayer additional stress, which will greatly increase the risk of tile falling off. However, tile back adhesive can disperse or even eliminate these interlayer additional stresses through its elastic characteristics, fundamentally reducing the risk of tile falling off and greatly improving the safety of tile paving.
  2. Adapt to special bases and simplify the construction process: Tile back adhesive is especially suitable for paving tiles on vibrating bases. Common ones such as ordinary elevator room walls and hollow walls are typical vibrating bases. Such bases will continuously generate vibrations during use, which in turn will exert continuous additional stress on the interface between tile adhesive and tiles. In the long run, it is easy to cause tiles to loosen and fall off. The buffering effect of tile back adhesive can effectively weaken the adverse impact of this additional stress, ensuring that tiles can still be stably paved in a vibrating environment. At the same time, tile back adhesive can also effectively remove dirt such as dust and oil on the back of tiles during the construction process, reducing additional cleaning steps. It not only facilitates construction operations but also speeds up the construction progress and improves the overall decoration efficiency.
