I believe that all decorators know that tile adhesive is used in the process of pasting ceramic tiles. So, there are many misunderstandings when using many things. So our topic today is to learn aboutTile adhesive Let’s learn about the misunderstandings in using .
It is still necessary to introduce what tile adhesive is here, because there are still a small number of people who don’t know, and let’s talk about usage misunderstandings.
1. What is tile adhesive
Tile adhesive, also known as tile adhesive, is mainly used for pasting ceramic tiles, facing tiles, floor tiles and other decorative materials. It is widely used in decorative surfaces of interior and exterior walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchens and other buildings.
Tile adhesive itself contains an appropriate amount of cement components. It is scientifically formulated by adding various additives to enhance bonding strength and flexibility on the basis of cement.
Its main features are high bonding strength, water resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, good aging resistance and easy construction. The adhesive strength is several times that of cement mortar, making it a very ideal bonding material.
2. Misunderstandings in the use of tile adhesive
1. Think tile adhesive is just glue
I believe that when they hear the name, many people think it is just cement and glue. In fact, tile adhesive is not glue, its main component is still cement. It is formulated from high-quality cement, graded quartz sand and a variety of polymers. It is a safe and environmentally friendly product and does not contain formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful substances.
2. Mix cement and mortar into the tile adhesive
Tile adhesive relies on the intermolecular force generated by special additives in the product to firmly adhere the tiles. Adding cement or sand at will will change the formula of the product, reduce the adhesion, cannot guarantee the quality of the product, and risk bricks falling off.
3. If used for too long, add new glue and mix before use
Some masters will mix the tile adhesive left last night with water and tile adhesive powder the next morning. In fact, the active ingredients of the tile adhesive have already undergone a chemical reaction. Adding water will only change the operating performance, which will cause later problems. The bonding strength is insufficient; the tile adhesive should be stirred and used, and the use time should be controlled within 2 hours. It should be discarded after drying.
4. The disposable squeegee area is too large
In dry and windy weather outdoors, the area to be scraped with adhesive tape is too large.Failure to do so will cause the surface to dry and solidify before laying the tiles, which may cause bricks to fall off; use a toothed scraper to evenly scrape the glue onto the work surface. Each application should be within about 1 square meter. In dry outdoor weather, the wall should be wetted in advance.
