What is Tile Adhesive?

Tile adhesive is a specialized bonding agent used to securely attach tiles to a substrate, like a wall or floor, offering superior strength and longevity compared to traditional methods like cement mortar. It's typically a mixture of Portland cement, polymers, and additives, designed to provide a strong, reliable bond and prevent tiles from becoming loose or damaged.

Importance of Tile Adhesives

Resistance to Water

A top-quality tile adhesive, specifically waterproof tile adhesive, firmly inhibits water penetration, keeping the substrate from getting damaged due to moisture and eliminating mould formation. This is crucial for spaces like kitchens, outdoor spaces, and restrooms where water exposure occurs frequently.

Provides Sturdiness

Modern tile adhesives have remarkable bonding strength and resist temperature changes, daily wear and tear, and structural movement. Due to their resilience, the possibility of tile replacements and the necessity for costly repairs are significantly reduced.



Cost-Effective

Although high-end tile adhesives might cost more upfront, they save money over time by lowering labour costs for repairs, replacements, and maintenance. Their practical application technique also optimises installation time.

In tile adhesive formulations, HPMC(Hydroxypropyl Methyl Celluloseacts as a multifunctional additive, providing thickening, binding, and water-retention properties. 


RDP(Redispersible Polymer Powder) offers numerous benefits including better adhesion, improved flexibility, and increased durability.


HEMC(Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose) is a thickening agent, a water retention agent, and a key factor in the consistency and workability of an adhesive mixture.
