Ceramic tiles are one of the common building materials in daily life. We know a little bit about the types of ceramic tiles, but as for the difference between ceramic tile adhesive and ceramic tile adhesive that will be used when laying ceramic tiles I don’t quite understand it! So, let’s follow Zhongtao Jun to find out more!
In decoration, ceramic tile laying is a very important link. In the traditional tile pasting, we all use cement mortar to lay the tiles. However, the cement mortar paving method has poor construction technology and material physical properties. The adhesive is prone to aging, causing the interior and exterior wall tiles to fall off. If not handled properly, it may Safety hazards may occur.
1. The difference between tile adhesive and back glue
1. Different usage methods
Tile adhesive can be used directly to paste ceramic tiles. Apply the tile adhesive evenly on the wall and then paste it. The method of using tile adhesive is different. For tile adhesive, you first use a brush to apply the adhesive on the back of the tile, and then use cement to stick it on the wall. Or you first apply tile adhesive on the back of the tile, and then apply it on the wall. Apply tile adhesive to lay the tiles.
2. They use different raw materials
The main raw materials for the production of tile adhesive are cement, quartz sand and other materials, and also include some polymers, which are substitutes for traditional cement mortar. Tile adhesive is a high molecular polymer material. The picture below is the mortar strengthener of the Korean Shuangxiong brand represented by Xiaolanjia. The Chinese name is: Tile Adhesive
So which ceramic tiles are suitable for adhesive backing?
Under normal circumstances, when vitrified tiles are wet-pasted, ceramic tile adhesive will be used, which can well solve the hollowing problem in wet-pasted vitrified tiles.
2. Precautions when using tile adhesive and back glue
1. Generally, when laying ceramic tiles on the wall, due to the weight of the ceramic tiles, if traditional cement mortar is used to lay the ceramic tiles, they may fall off.
2. The bonding strength of tile adhesive is stronger than that of cement mortar, so when we apply tiles to the wall, it is recommended to use tile adhesive. Although it is more convenient to use tile adhesive to lay ceramic tiles, the requirements for the base layer of the wall are relatively strict when laying ceramic tiles. The base surface of the wall must be kept flat and free of sand, otherwise it will affect the later bonding effect and cause the wall bricks to fall off. For higher-end ceramic tiles, it is recommended to use tile adhesive before laying to achieve the purpose of solidity.
The above content is the difference between tile adhesive and tile adhesive shared today. Do you remember it clearly? If you don’t remember clearly, just read it a few more times, hahaha, Mr. Zhongtao escaped first!
