R&D: Adhesives for tiles<br />
Concerning adhesives for tiles, the steadiness which is described by the slip resistance is gaining importance. This special<br />
behaviour cannot be achieved by viscosity-increasing cellulose derivatives. Only by means of rheology-enhancing starch<br />
derivatives it is possible to adjust a sufficiently high yield point to ensure steadiness of tiles. This special property of these tile<br />
adhesives is determined by the slip of the tiles according to st<strong>and</strong>ard method EN 1308.<br />
Viscosity properties are determined via Brookfield measurement. The open time is used as an important criterion for the<br />
workability time. This test procedure is conducted according to EN 1346. The setting performance of mortars containing starch<br />
derivatives is determined by means of an automatic Vicat ® unit.<br />
