THE ROLE OF DRYING SAND IN THE PRODUCTION OF CEMENT-BASED TILE ADHESIVE

Cement-based tile adhesive is an important material in the construction and repair process today, replacing the traditional mortar mixing method in construction. In this article, Thach Hien will introduce more clearly about tile adhesive and cement-based tile mortar.

What is tile adhesive?

Tile adhesive is a specialized product used to stick tiles on the surface of walls or floors instead of the traditional method of mixing cement mortar. For special projects that change the surface properties of the floor or different tile materials that require high aesthetics.
For example: When using ceramide stone, granite, porcelain tiles, marble, glass,… or special construction and usage conditions such as swimming pool tiling, exterior tiling, factory tiling that requires long-term resistance to force and heat,… changing the surface properties of the substrate and using different tile materials, traditional cement mortar is no longer capable of meeting the requirements of adhesion, construction time, durability,… From these essential needs, tile adhesive was born to meet this need.

Ingredients for producing cement-based tile adhesive

– Binder: cement, fly ash, slag. When this component reacts with hydration, it becomes an adhesive paste that surrounds the aggregate and filler. This is the bonding component and determines the quality of the tile adhesive product.

– Sand: this is the main ingredient that acts as the load-bearing frame for the product. Sand used in the production of tile adhesives must be strictly quality controlled. The grain size must be uniform, and the sand must be completely dry.

– Additives: Polymer increases adhesion, water retention, anti-slip, fast curing.

Properties of cement-based tile adhesive

– Antifungal, good moisture resistance

– Save construction time and material costs

– High adhesion

– Tile position can be adjusted within 20 minutes

– High durability, good weather resistance

– High product life

Uses of tile adhesive

Tile adhesive is widely used in construction and interior and exterior decoration. Because tile adhesive provides high durability, helps create a smooth, uniform tile surface, helping to reduce the use of cement and water compared to traditional mortar mixing methods.
