Frequently Asked Questions
What do the ISO 13007 classification codes mean?
ISO 13007 classifies tile adhesives by resin type, deformability, and optional features. C1 is standard cement-based. C2 is improved cement-based with higher bond strength. S1 means deformable for slight substrate movement. E means cartridge-dispensed, suited to wall tiles.
Which tile adhesive is best for a swimming pool?
Ardex X18 and Ardex X68 are both pool-rated tile adhesives. Ardex X18 suits ceramic and porcelain tiles. Ardex X68 handles larger format tiles and natural stone. Gripset C-Mastic and Gripset C-Lite are also pool-rated options.
Are there silica-free tile adhesives?
Yes. Gripset C-Mastic, Gripset C-Rubber, and Gripset C-Lite are all silica-free tile adhesives. They suit interior wall and floor applications. These products help reduce respirable crystalline silica dust exposure on site.
Which tile adhesive sets the fastest?
Ardex X56 is a rapid-set tile adhesive that allows grouting in four hours. Most standard cement-based adhesives need 24 hours before grouting. Check the product data sheet for the correct grouting window based on tile type and ambient conditions.
Can I use a tile adhesive on an existing tiled floor?
Yes. Use a non-porous substrate primer such as Mapei Eco Prim Grip to create a bond on the existing tile surface before applying the adhesive. Some products such as Ardex X18 can bond directly with proper surface preparation.
