Description
- Thinset Mortar: Thinset mortar is a cement-based adhesive that comes in either a dry powder form or pre-mixed. It is commonly used for bonding ceramic and porcelain tiles to surfaces like cement backer board, concrete, and drywall. Thinset mortar offers good adhesion and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor tile installations.
- Mastic Adhesive: Mastic is a ready-to-use adhesive that comes in a paste form. It is typically used for installing smaller ceramic or porcelain tiles on drywall, plywood, or other smooth surfaces. Mastic is easier to work with for DIY projects but may not be suitable for wet areas or high-moisture environments.
- Epoxy Adhesive: Epoxy-based tile adhesive is known for its exceptional bond strength and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. It is often used for specialty applications, such as glass or stone tiles, and in areas with heavy exposure to water, like swimming pools or showers.
- Organic Adhesive: Organic adhesives are made from natural materials such as cellulose or starch. They are less commonly used today compared to cement-based and epoxy adhesives due to their limited water resistance and lower bond strength.
