Buildmaxx Tile Adhesive is a multi-utility premix thin-bed self-curing solution that can be used for fixing and jointing tiles, marbles, stones and other materials. The material composition results in high strength and durability, giving desired adhesive which also prevents shrinkage cracks and slippage of material. A white cement-based tile adhesive suitable for application on concrete/cement-plastered or tile (for tile-on-tile) substrates on interior and exterior wall and floor surfaces for fixing vitrified tiles, marble, granite and mosaic of up to large profile.

| Parameters | Buildmaxx Tile Adhesives | Conventional Cement Slurry |
|---|---|---|
| Quality Standard | Conforms to Indian Standard IS-15477 | Does not confirms to any specified Indian standard |
| Testing | Well tested product with defined parameters | No such testing done |
| Shrinkage | No shrinkage observed | May shrink when used |
| Packaging | Ready to use / Premix bag | Need to mix materials at site for preparation |
| Consistency | Consistent quality as gradation and machined proportions are mixed and packed | Quality not as consistent as mix is done at site through labour and gradation of material is not optimised |
Tile Adhesive is available round the year, making it easier for the material planning team and facilitating on time completion of work at site.
The concept of premix cuts out the tedious and inaccurate process of material mixing and preparation, which only leaves water mixing and application as a process to be done at site. This reduces the time required to perform at site and also the labour requirement.
The product is a premix packed solution containing cement, sand and special additives which only require the addition of water before use, making the application process simpler and easier.
Technical properties and the design mix enhance the product performance leading to minimum shrinkage cracks solving a major problem in comparison to the conventional method.
Due to the special additives and sand gradation, the product texture and quality ensures excellent adhesion and makes it slip resistant, giving it an upper edge.
It is a standardized product which goes through a standardized production process following IS 15477 (specification for tile adhesive for ceramic and mosaic tiles) ensuring consistency and better performance.
Since the premix contains special additives which also contain water retention properties, the pot life of the mix is longer.
All concrete and Block joints must be covered with a chicken wire mesh.
The surface should be free from oil, grease, paint, loose plaster or dirt particles.
Dampen the wall before application of plaster.
In 6-7 liters of potable water add 1 bag of readymix Plaster.
Leave the mix to react for 5-10 min and remix before use.
Apply cement slurry. If the surface is smooth and dense, the surface should be made rough.
Re-mixing should be done for 5-10 minutes.
The mixture should be thrown while the cement slurry is wet. Ensure levelling with the help of tools.
If 2nd coat is required, ensure grooving on first coat to provide good grip for 2nd coat.
After final coat ensure proper levelling with the help of appropriate tools.
After the plaster is dry, curing should be done 2-3 times a day for 7 days minimum.
