Identify Best quality Tile adhesive

HOW TO KNOW GOOD QUALITY TILE ADHESIVE

Currently, tile adhesive has become popular in construction projects. However, not all tile adhesives are of good quality. Therefore, to make the project more sustainable and successful, you should equip yourself with some tips to be able to know what is a good tile adhesive and suitable for your project. Welmax will help you refer to some characteristics and quality identification of tile adhesive through the following article!

 

CHARACTERISTICS OF TILE ADHESIVE

Tile adhesive has many advantages over traditional materials on the market today: If you compare tile glue with cement mortar, tile glue is an easy-to-use product, you just need to mix water and use it immediately. Glue is powdery, smooth, white or  gray. High adhesion to prevent slipping on vertical surfaces. With outstanding advantages in terms of adhesion, good waterproofing, convenient to use, saving materials and construction time.

 

 

HOW TO KNOW GOOD QUALITY TILE ADHESIVE

It is not enough for you to know if the tile adhesive is good or not based on the above characteristics. It should be based on the following factors:

1. EXTERNAL COMMENTARY TILE Glue

SHOULD NOT be too smooth The finer the tile adhesive, the better the cement, if you think so, you are completely wrong. This is because in the glue there is a water-retaining additive, but if this content is high, it will reduce the adhesion strength. To increase the adhesion, factories often choose to increase the amount of cement and increase the polymer additive. However, the price of polymer additives is quite expensive, so if factories give the right content, it will be difficult to compete because the unit price is high, so they often cut this content down. Therefore, the more cement, the higher the water mixing ratio. This will cause the adhesion to be degraded, the tiling position is easy to peel or crack.

2. MIXING PROCEDURE TO WATER AS LESS BETTER

There are many types of stone tile adhesives produced domestically and imported on the market today such as Welmax tile adhesive, Vicin tile glue, Red Dragon, etc. Most of the quality glues have a ratio of 3 glue to 1. country. If the glue composition is higher, it is a quality glue.

3. COMBINEDATION AFTER MIXING DOES NOT STRATEGICATE AND SEPARATE THE WATER

After mixing the glue properly, the glue mixture must ensure that there is no phenomenon of water separation or stratification. If there is this phenomenon, it is a poor quality glue, unsatisfactory when applying the glue, the structure is broken, it is easy to crack and peel off when tiling and no longer ensures adhesion.

4. CHARACTERISTICS AFTER CONSTRUCTION

We proceed to see the curing time of the glue to determine the quality. Normally, the curing time is about 24 hours, so you can walk gently, if it is longer, you should not use it. After about 4 days when you knock on the tile with a popping sound, the circuit has cracks, you have used poor quality glue, do not use this glue. Another way to recognize quality tile adhesive is that when you use a serrated trowel to pull the glue to create an even and prolonged groove, it is definitely a good tile adhesive because the glue has a good, durable texture. It makes construction easier while also increasing the aesthetics of the building.
