The same is the tile, why more and more people choose to use tile glue?
Nov 23,2023
In recent years, the ceramic tile industry is developing in the direction of high density, low water absorption and large size, and the floor tile wall has gradually become a popular trend. Therefore, for the ceramic tile bonding material also put forward higher requirements, tile glue came into being.
Compared to the traditional cement mortar tile, why more people use tile glue ~
1
environmental protection contrast
Tile glue can be directly added with water, stirred and pasted, containing washed sand formed by electronic screening, which is clean and free of dust, and the construction of workers is safe and hygienic.
The yellow sand used in cement mortar is usually only screened once, so it is often encountered in the sand mixed with mud, which is a major part of the impact of paste, and in the process of mixing with cement, dust has a certain impact on the air and the health of construction workers.

Comparison of construction convenience
Cement mortar, like porcelain tile glue, can be used directly by adding water. However, in the following construction steps, cement tiles must be soaked in water and the wall surface must be moistened first. These processes are still time-consuming. The use of ceramic tile glue is simpler, there is no need to soak ceramic tiles in advance, and it can be directly pasted on the wall, thus reducing the construction time. However, the construction of ceramic tile glue has certain requirements on the flatness of the base surface.

Cohesive force contrast
According to the professional bonding strength test, the bonding strength of cement surface is below 0.1Mpa, while the common ceramic tile adhesive reaching the national standard is as high as 0.5 Mpa. If type II or above ceramic tile adhesive is used, it can reach above 1 Mpa, which can better meet the bonding requirements of ceramic tiles with low water absorption.

Comparison of paving thickness
The tile adhesive has good water retention and strong adhesion. The thickness is about 8mm using thin paste technology. Cement mortar has poor water retention and high water absorption, so the thickness of cement mortar is usually about 20mm. Therefore, the use of tile glue is more space-saving.
5
Bond effect contrast
Open the paved wall tiles, cement mortar paving is uneven, the surface has pores, easy to make the tile paste is not firm, empty drum, fall off; Tile glue distribution is uniform, full slurry rate is high, not easy to produce empty drum, fall off and other phenomena.

Scope of application comparison
Although cement mortar has good water absorption performance, it has high water loss rate and relatively fast water loss. Therefore, ceramic tiles need to be soaked in water in advance to be used. However, due to its low water absorption rate, vitrified tiles are still not ideal even after cement mortar is used.
Compared with cement mortar, ceramic tile glue has stronger bonding force, better water retention and wider application range. Polished tiles, antique tiles, mosaic tiles, especially vitrified tiles with low water absorption rate need ceramic tile glue with strong bonding force.
These are the reasons why more and more people choose to use tile glue. For more knowledge and tips on home decoration, please pay attention to WeChat public number of "Paste Stable Tile Glue!
