TILE ADHESIVE GRADE
| No. | Class | Code | Description |
| C | 1 | Ordinary cementitious adhesive | |
| C | 2 | Enhanced cementitious adhesive | |
| C | F | Fast-setting cementitious adhesive – 6 h pull-off strength ≥ 0.5 MPa | |
| C | T | Anti-slip adhesive – slip < 0.5 mm under 5 kg load | |
| C | E | Extended open time adhesive – open time 30 min, pull-off strength ≥ 0.5 MPa | |
| C | S1 | Deformable adhesive – lateral deformation 2.5 ≤ S1 < 5 mm | |
| C | S2 | Highly deformable adhesive – lateral deformation S2 ≥ 5 mm |
Basic Bond Strength Grades
C1 – Standard Cementitious Adhesive
Meets standard bond strength requirements. Suitable for laying small to medium-sized tiles up to 30 cm × 30 cm on walls and floors.
C2 – Enhanced Cementitious Adhesive
Offers higher bond strength than C1. Suitable for larger tiles up to approximately 60 cm × 60 cm and above, and capable of withstanding more demanding conditions such as moisture and temperature variations.
Additional Performance Characteristics (Can be combined with C1 or C2)
F – Fast-Setting
Achieves a pull-off strength of ≥ 0.5 MPa within 6 hours. Designed for rapid installation and tight construction schedules.
T – Anti-Slip
Slip < 0.5 mm under a 5 kg load. Effectively prevents tile slippage, especially for large-format tiles or wall applications.
E – Extended Open Time
Maintains a pull-off strength of ≥ 0.5 MPa after 30 minutes of open time. Suitable for high-temperature, dry environments, or slower work pacing.
S1 – Flexible (Moderate Deformation)
Lateral deformation capacity between 2.5 mm and 5 mm. Ideal for substrates with slight movement, such as underfloor heating systems or wooden subfloors.
S2 – Highly Flexible (High Deformation)
Lateral deformation capacity ≥ 5 mm. Suitable for substrates with greater movement, such as lightweight partition walls or renovation projects over existing structures.
Based on the performance requirements of your tile adhesive, you can select the appropriate additives, such as HPMC, HEMC, and RDP.
MIXEON Tile Adhesive Additive Solutions
We are a trusted manufacturer and supplier of high-quality cellulose ethers and redispersible polymer powders, dedicated to providing innovative chemical modification solutions for a wide range of tile adhesive formulations.
MIXEON RE4200 — Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)
As a key water-retention and thickening component, MIXEON RE4200 plays multiple essential roles in tile adhesive systems:
Excellent Water Retention
Effectively retains moisture within the adhesive layer, ensuring proper cement hydration and significantly enhancing bond strength.
Extended Open Time
Provides installers with ample time for adjustment and tile positioning, accommodating varying work paces on site.
Optimal Thickening Effect
Increases mortar viscosity, imparting good thixotropy for smooth application and improved sag resistance.
MIXEON BE5030N — Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP)
MIXEON BE5030N is specifically designed to enhance the durability and mechanical performance of tile adhesives:
Enhanced Flexibility and Adhesion
Improves cohesive strength and tensile adhesion, ensuring a secure bond even under stress or substrate movement.
Superior Water Resistance
Maintains stable bonding performance in humid or prolonged water-exposure conditions, effectively preventing bond failure.
Stronger Bond Strength
Boosts adhesion to a variety of substrates (cement, gypsum, concrete, etc.), meeting demanding application requirements.
