In the construction market, tile adhesives are being used more and more by the superior features compared to cement. So what is tile adhesive more than traditional cement?
Firstly, tile adhesive is very convenient, easier to use than traditional cement mortar. If using traditional cement, you must soak bricks in water for 1-2 hours to proceed with tiling, time-consuming and many stages. Cement mixing process is also complicated. While tile adhesives only need to be mixed with water in the proper proportion is usable and bricks do not need to soak in but can be put to use immediately.
Second, in terms of adhesion. Tile adhesives often have better adhesion, high polymer content, so the mortar does not shrink so the adhesive effect is quite high, avoiding the tile phenomenon of peeling, blistering or empty inside.
Thirdly, tile adhesive is highly applicable when it can be applied to most types of tiles with smooth surface, hard to stick like mosaic glass tiles, large size granite tiles, stuck on dry walls, on surfaces. old brick surface …
More specifically, the glue is also elastic, supple and flexible, this is the most important thing that cement does not have. If tiled by plastering in pieces on the back of the bricks, it is easy to create holes under the bricks, making the water easily penetrate deeply, causing yellowing of bricks later. Brick will also break in an area with no adhesive below.
Some notes when using tile adhesive
TS Nguyen Thanh Hai, Chairman of Hi-Pec Joint Stock Company, said that currently, there are many types of glue on the Vietnamese market, but the product called eco-glue is not much. Even some types of glue mixed toxic substances, so when used, it affects the health of consumers.
Therefore, Mr. Hai proposed that it should be quick to set new standards. For example, in the world, countries like Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands have set standards for Lits, S + or AG + … Of which, most importantly when it comes to glue or paint, there is no volatile organic compound, or long-term evaporation compounds, low volatiles, especially without formaldehyde, or carcinogens such as NOx, SOx …, or room-emitting substances, do not make room ventilated.
These are standards that Vietnam has not talked about, even we have not paid attention to this. Most of them are sold in spread, no one controls.
In many cases, when we finish painting, we cannot breathe because of the smell. This is a volatile compound, negatively affecting human health, especially on breathing. Therefore, formaldehyde must not contain formaldehyde in paints or cockroaches.
Most Vietnamese consumers do not fully understand this product, because the misleading advertisements of the brands. Therefore, consumers must understand the standards of the product and choose to buy products from businesses with quality and prestige in the world.
