When it comes to ceramic tile adhesive, everyone knows that it is a kind of adhesive material. It can be seen everywhere in the process of laying ceramic tiles. So our topic today is to learn about How to use ceramic tile adhesive< /strong>, some misunderstandings about the use of ceramic tile adhesive have also been popularized. If you know these, you will not be afraid of the decorator cutting corners. Let’s learn about it together!
1. What is tile adhesive
Tile adhesive is a material that is applied to the back of wet-pasted ceramic tiles. It effectively improves the bonding strength between the ceramic tiles and the adhesive material and solves the common problems of hollowing and falling off during wet-pasting of ceramic tiles.
Tile adhesive can be used in combination with a variety of bonding materials to form a ceramic tile adhesive system, which greatly improves the adhesion between ceramic tiles and the base layer. Tile adhesive has good performance on standard concrete slabs and glazed tiles, and its safety performance is greatly improved. improve.
2. What are the characteristics of ceramic tile adhesive?
1. Strong adhesion
2. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly
3. High safety performance
4. Long service life
5. Simple construction method
3. How to use ceramic tile adhesive
1. Open the lid and use it (scratch and stick)
2. The back and wall surfaces of ceramic tiles or stones must be kept clean
3. Apply the glue evenly and thinly to the pretreated base surface
4. If the weather or the wall is too dry, moisten the wall surface with clean water before construction, and sprinkle more water on the wall with strong water absorption
5. Apply grout immediately while the grout is still wet
6. Paving according to traditional construction methods
4. Misunderstandings in the use of ceramic tile adhesive
1. Change the proportion of liquids
The proportion of ceramic tile adhesive liquid material is determined through strict testing and screening to achieve the best bonding effect. Randomly changing the proportion of the product itself will cause the performance of the ceramic tile adhesive to decrease, and it is easy to cause the tiles to be adhered unsoundly.
2. Tile adhesive must be applied on the back of the tile
Tile adhesive can only be applied with a brush or roller to evenly apply the mixed adhesive on the back of the facing tiles. It is recommended to use the "cross method”Apply a layer evenly to avoid leakage and exposure of the bottom, so that the glue can fully contact the back of the tile and stick firmly.
3. If there is any debris on the back of the tiles, apply it
If there are more impurities on the back of the tile, an isolation layer will be formed between the back of the tile and the tile adhesive, which will reduce the strength of the tile adhesive and the back of the tile and increase the probability of hollowing out of the tile.
4. After mixing, add the remaining ingredients with water and stir again
Some masters will use the remaining tile adhesive and then add water and tile adhesive to mix it. In fact, the active ingredients of the tile adhesive have already undergone a chemical reaction. Adding water will only change the operating performance, and will eventually lead to later bonding strength. insufficient.
5. The tile adhesive is mixed with cement, silt, etc.
When using the product, the product must not be diluted with water or mixed with any other substances except the white sand delivered in the barrel. If added at will, it will completely change the proportion of each component in the ceramic tile adhesive. The quality cannot be guaranteed and the sticking effect will be greatly reduced. Bricks are prone to hollowing and peeling.
6. I think that the adhesive on the tiles can be applied at will in winter
The construction environment temperature of ceramic tile adhesive backing is between 5 and 35 degrees. Pay attention to anti-freeze in winter. Do not work below 5 degrees to prevent frostbite. The newly applied materials should avoid being sprayed with water within 24 hours. Avoid sun exposure in summer, because exposure to the sun will cause the latex to lose effectiveness due to rapid loss of moisture, and even cracks may occur.
The above content is an article shared by the editor about How to use ceramic tile adhesive, so there are still many details to pay attention to when using it, so that the ceramic tiles can be applied more accurately. It fits well and won't fall off. That's it for today's content sharing. I hope it can be helpful to you!
