Tile Adhesives And Grout

Provides Tile Setting Systems

• Tile Placement

  The placement of tiles involves the installation of durable ceramic or stone tiles, as well as decorative options like porcelain or glass, to cover both floors and walls. A diverse range of tiles is now utilized in different areas of the house. Flooring options vary based on their intended function, desired level of finishing, and cost considerations.
  The goal of utilizing various flooring materials, including tile grout powder, floor tile adhesives, and others, is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of both the interior and exterior of a residence. Proper placement of tiles necessitates the use of essential building materials such as sand, cement, and the tiles themselves. It is advisable to calculate the required quantity of tiles for the installation task, as this can reduce waste and ultimately prove cost-effective

• Importance of Tile Adhesives

  Tile adhesive is a pre-mixed compound precisely manufactured using OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement), fine sand, and additives to enhance its essential tile laying properties. High-performance tile adhesives and grout can be used for installing tiles over a variety of substrates, including existing tiles, polished cement, wooden surfaces, and other specialized bases. While cement is reasonably strong for holding bricks together, it may not be particularly effective for tile installation.
  Over time, tiles installed with inadequate adhesion may become loose and, in some cases, even dislodge. However, with MCON Rasayan’s top-quality Tile Adhesive, this concern is eliminated. Our adhesive ensures that tiles remain securely in place for many years, making it an extremely reliable choice for wall tile installations

• Joint Grouting

  The space between tiles is referred to as a grout joint, and it serves the purpose of accommodating slight size variations that can occur during the tile production process. The grout joint enables the installer to adjust the tile placement using grout filler to correct for size discrepancies, ensuring a straight and even grout line. Smaller grout joints offer less room for variation in tile size.
  Grout joints also play a role in accommodating the expansion and contraction of tiles due to heating and cooling cycles. As this movement occurs, the grout will compress. It’s important to note that the narrower the grout joint and the larger the tile, the less room there is for the grout to compress. Careful consideration of these factors is essential for achieving a well-executed tile installation

• Stone Placement and Adhesives for Stones

  Traditional stone adhesives currently available suffer from technological obsolescence and present significant challenges. For instance, the two-component adhesive family, while widely used, requires precise mixing ratios to function effectively. A mismatch in proportions can lead to adhesive failure, compromising the bond.
  These stone adhesives exhibit slow curing rates and lack flexibility, which becomes problematic as the stone experiences movement due to temperature fluctuations. Stone, being porous, poses a challenge in the bonding process, given its high absorbency. The problem arises when the stone adhesive fails to adequately address the stone’s innate porous nature, leading to a weak and unreliable connection. Modern solutions are needed to address these shortcomings and ensure strong, durable bonds in stone applications.

• Epoxy Tile Joint Grouting Method

  Mcon’s epoxy tile grout is an excellent preventative measure, especially in scenarios where the installation is exposed to significant wear or harsh environmental conditions, as it offers robust adhesion and stain resistance. Mcon’s epoxy grout is resilient against stains, chemicals, and moisture damage. Unlike conventional grouts that often require frequent cleaning, the non-porous nature of epoxy resin prevents dirt, grime, or moisture from penetrating the tile grout.
  Epoxy grout stands out for its impressive strength and chemical resistance, making it suitable for a diverse range of specialized applications. In contrast to typical epoxy solutions, our grouts are user-friendly, while still maintaining high levels of abrasion resistance and strength. An additional advantage is the extended shelf life of our epoxy products, which remain viable for an indefinite period before being opened
