1- What is tile adhesive?

Tile adhesive is a chemical substance by which the tiles are placed in their desired place and strengthened.

This adhesive is used for gluing tiles, ceramics, porcelain, natural and artificial stones on all cement, stone, brick, ceramic, plaster, etc. surfaces on the floor and wall in indoor and outdoor environments (building exterior). Takes.

In addition, you can use this product on surfaces with a heating system, balconies, patios, pools, gypsum surfaces, plasters, gypsum blocks, light concrete, and old stonework.

Advantages of using tile adhesive:

  • Resistance and strength after years of use
  • Having high adhesive strength
  • High quality tile gluing
  • Moisture insulation in wet areas
  • Higher speed than other materials due to installation
  • No need to destroy the lower part of tiling
  • Can be used in all cold and tropical regions
  • Can be used in areas that are exposed to water, such as the walls of pools and...

Important points in choosing tile adhesive:

In order to know which type of tile adhesive is suitable for our work, we must pay attention to the following points:

  • The area on which we want to apply the glue.
  • Place of use of glue in terms of whether it is dry or wet
  • The type of base material on which the glue is supposed to stick.

2- Why is polymer used in the combination of tile and ceramic adhesive?

Polymer as an adhesion agent is widely used in various industries.

In a way, it can be said that polymer will strengthen the adhesive strength of construction, industrial products, etc.

Also, the use of polymer binding powder can be a factor to prevent the penetration of moisture and increase the strength of the tile adhesive.

3- How to calculate the consumption of binding powder

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Optio, neque qui veli

In order to calculate the amount of powder consumption, to 4 parameters we need:

  • Tile size
  • band width
  • The depth of the band
  • Total square footage

Regarding banding, it is necessary to explain that the execution of ceramics or tiles without banding has become obsolete, and performing ceramic work without banding has reduced the adhesion of ceramics to each other, and also the contraction and expansion of ceramics has made them less durable. And over time, it starts to loosen or peel off.

For the convenience of calculating the amount of binding powder consumption, we have placed a table on the company's website.

In the right column of this table, the size of the tile and its depth

In the first horizontal row, the width of the strap is inserted

which is the result of the intersection of the width of the band and the size of the tile,

A number is obtained by multiplying it by the square footage of the tile. The amount of powder consumption Obtained.

To calculate this amount more accurately, we can use the formula that we prepared in this regard.

4- What is Groot?

Grout is an expanding mortar in two types

  • Cement base grouts and
  • Epoxy grouts are produced.

from grot, direction Filling empty spaces and large and deep cracks is used.

Usually, after the mortar dries and its water evaporates, it creates an empty space.

Instead, after the grout loses its water, it expands and fills the voids. It has anti-contraction properties.

From this product to:

  • filling under the plate of the column of the sheds,
  • Installation of machine rails,
  • deep cracks,
  • filling the empty spaces under the chassis and base plates,
  • Armator brokerage,
  • It is used to fill concrete holes and pits.

To compensate for the decrease in mechanical resistance resulting from the expansion of the grout, this product is polymeric We have prepared and with this work we have added to its mechanical resistance .

The materials used in this composition have the highest level of mechanical resistance.

Also, polymer materials make the grout water evaporate later and have higher technical characteristics, including better compressive, tensile and bending resistance.

5- The difference between grout (expanding) and ordinary mortar

Grout and mortar are similar in appearance.

But in terms of application, they are different from each other.

Grout is an expanding mortar based on cement, hydraulic fillers and necessary additives.

Mortar usually decreases in volume after drying and losing its water. To compensate for this issue, we use grout in cases where we need the volume of the mortar not to decrease.

Grout is an expanding mortar with different expansion percentages.

To compensate for the decrease in mechanical pressure resulting from the expansion of the mortar, Vestashimi Spadana has produced polymer grout in two types, hard and soft.

6- What is the main reason for using tile adhesive instead of cement mortar?

The choice of tile adhesive can have many reasons

example:

  • Much higher execution speed
  • Much higher strength
  • Much more adhesion

But sometimes the only option for tiling is to use tile adhesive.

Like where porcelain ceramics are used.

(Posslan ceramics cannot be installed using grout because they almost do not absorb water).

Another place when you want to install the new tile on the old tile

(In this case, the slurry is not used at all. And even before the tile adhesive, you have to roughen the surface of the previous tiles to have perfect adhesion.

and places where you use new materials such as two-component waterproofing for insulation.

(These types of materials do not absorb water, so you cannot use your tiles as a grout and they must be glued with tile adhesive.

9- What should we buy for durable and high-quality tile adhesive?

High-quality tile adhesive has several features.

  • First, it has a standard mark.

Adhesives that do not have standards cannot even be sold.

You can see that the chemical adhesive has the standard code. If you text this code to the product authenticity SMS number 10001517, it will give you a message confirming the product's authenticity.

The standard mark is placed on all Vesta products. which also has a code.

  • Second, it should have a good spatula. It means that it easily sticks to the surface and the tile does not slide on the surface and is easy to install.

17- The steps of implementing the Vestashimi sealing pack

place of use: Bathrooms, toilets, patios, kitchens, elevator pits and all places where Izogam is used.

  • Substructure:

- First, make the surface below the work free from any dust particles, grease, etc.

- If there are deep cracks, clean the inside of the crack completely, and if there are hairline cracks, use a mechanical tool to open the crack and start working after cleaning it.

- No paint or waste materials on the surface.

  • How to use waterproofing pack in indoor environments:
  • First, we mix about 2 liters of BV230 liquid with 3 kilos of its special powder and turn it into a slurry, and by using a brush or roller, we completely cover the work surface.
  • After drying, add the remaining 12 kilos of powder with 2 liters of water and 2 liters of liquid BV230 We mix it and make it into a paste and apply it on the work surface with a spatula or trowel, and after drying, if hairline cracks are observed, prepare the slurry again like the first hand and apply it with a brush or roller. , we apply it on the surface and then install ceramic tiles.

- It is worth mentioning that in places such as elevator pits where water may still enter the pit from some places, we first block the ways of water infiltration into the pit with an early arrester, after drying, we start the sealing pack operation. .

  • How to perform in environments such as rooftops, swimming pools, saunas and jacuzzis:
  • First, we mix two liters of BV230 liquid with a little of its special powder and turn it into a slurry, and use a brush or roller to coat the work surface completely.
  • we kill After drying, mix the rest of the powder with the rest of the liquid if added along with water Mix it and apply it to a thickness of 2 mm on the work surface with a spatula. Tip 1: Because most of the time, cracks occur in vertical or horizontal corners, try After drying, mix the rest of the powder with the rest of the liquid, if added, along with water, and apply it to a thickness of 2 mm on the work surface with a spatula.

Note 1: Because most of the time, the cracks occur in the vertical or horizontal corners, try to extend the mesh in the corners to the adjacent wall by at least 50 cm.

Note 2: If hairline cracks are seen on the work surface after drying, make a little bit of the same first-hand grout and fill all the cracks with a brush or roller.

Note 3: After the second hand is dry, you can install ceramics or if you are not going to install ceramics, do not drain the pool for a maximum of 10 days until it reaches its final strength.

Note 4: In case of installation on the old isogam, it is recommended that the isogam is completely collected, or if the isogam has not lost its properties, remove the aluminum layer on it and after scratching the isogam, proceed to install and run the water pack. classify

Note 5: Vestashimi's sealing pack, after implementation, can withstand temperature resistance of -25 to +80 degrees Celsius.

In addition, when applying the sealing pack in external environments, the weather must not be rainy for at least a week.

18- The solution to end the worry of reducing pool water and roof isogham

The solution is to use a sealing pack.

This product is two-part and consists of a powder package and a complementary liquid, and it is reinforced using polymer materials and fibers, and it is a type of reliable and permanent sealing system, which due to its unique properties, such as sealing concrete surfaces. And cement structures are resistant to positive and negative water pressures and with very good adhesion to the surfaces under work, preventing cracking, good resistance and reducing solar energy absorption for sealing all concrete surfaces such as tunnels, docks, lines It is suitable for transporting water in elevator pits, swimming pools, roof insulation, sealing sewage treatment plants, water tanks, etc.

19- What is the correct method of combing tile and ceramic glue?

  • The main reason for using a toothed trowel or a comb to apply glue on the back of ceramic, stone, tile and porcelain is to apply the glue evenly.
  • The appropriate thickness of the glue is 3 to 5 mm, for a thickness of 3 mm, a toothed spatula number 6, a thickness of 4 mm, a toothed spatula number 8, and a thickness of 5 mm, a toothed spatula number 10 is suitable.
  • When applying glue on the back of tiles or ceramics, the hand should be at 45 degrees to the horizon.
  • Combing must be done in a horizontal or vertical direction.
  • Avoid combing in different directions.
  • Help to remove the air between the tiles, ceramics, etc. and the desired surface with uniform blows or by using a vibration device.
  • Even strokes should continue until you hear a popping sound from the ceramic surface.
