Maximize Bonding Efficiency with Our Tile Adhesive Enhancers

Tile Adhesive Formulas for Durable Installations

Tile adhesive is typically composed of a blend of cement, fillers, and polymer additives such as HPMC and Redispersible Polymer Powder.

The formula’s performance can be optimized based on specific requirements, such as quick-setting properties, high-strength bonding for heavy tiles, or flexibility for substrates prone to movement.

As a leading manufacturer of Cellulose Ether and Redispersible Polymer Powder, LANDU offers quality additives to enhance tile adhesive’s performance.

Redispersible Polymer Powder

LANDERCOLL® HPMC K200

LANDERCOLL K200 HPMC contributes to water retentionRetaining moisture in the adhesive layer ensures proper curing and enhances the bonding strength. It can also improve the open time, giving installers more time to adjust. As a thickening agent, HPMC enhances the viscosity of tile adhesive formulations. Tile bond with proper viscosity is easier to spread and apply without sagging.

ACCURATE™ Redispersible Polymer Powder 5011N

One of ACCURATE 5011N RDP’s primary functions is to enhance the flexibility and adhesion of the adhesive. It improves the overall mechanical properties and tensile strength. So tiles remain securely bonded over time, even under challenging conditions. Besides, ACCURATE 5011N RDP improves the water resistance of the tile bond, preventing failure in humid environments.

Surface Preparation & Mixing for Optimal Tiling

As a leading innovative manufacturer of tile adhesive additives, LANDU is equipped with a professional team to offer detailed guidance and technical support. Our goal is to achieve the best performance of your tile adhesive.

Surface Preparation

  • Please ensure surfaces are level, solid, clean, and free of air pockets, grease, wax stains, and release agents.
  • For old concrete or plastered surfaces, please clean them with industrial detergents, and then rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure water jet. Allow the surface to dry for 24 hours before tiling.
  • For substrates with high water absorption rates or in hot, dry environments, please moisten the surface until it is dry on the exterior but moist inside before tiling.

Mix Your Tile Adhesive

  • Pour the powder into clean water. Be sure to add water first, then the powder. This helps prevent caking.
  • Use an electric drill to mix the adhesive. Mixing by hand is not recommended, as insufficient mixing may cause poor adhesion of the tile adhesive.
  • Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency. Then please let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes before giving it another stir. This step, known as slaking, ensures the material undergoes a complete chemical reaction and reaches optimal performance for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer 200-600g free sample depending on your needs.

The typical dosage of HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) in tile adhesive formulations generally ranges from 0.3% to 0.5% of the total weight of the mixture. We also provide a reference formula here: Top 6 Essential Ingredients in Tile Bond Formulas 

It’s essential to conduct trials to determine the optimal dosage for your specific formulation and application requirements.

In addition to external factors, poor adhesion can be caused by exceeding the time limit, insufficient adhesive coverage, and excessive tile adhesive application area. If you cannot find corresponding solutions in our article: How to Avoid Poor Adhesion in Tile Adhesive Applications, please contact us for further help.
