ASIAN SMARTCARE TILE ADHESIVE TILE ON TILE APPLICATION

About ASIAN SMARTCARE TILE ADHESIVE TILE ON TILE APPLICATION

 91 000 74051 SmartCare Tile Adhesive (Tile-on-Tile) is a high-performance polymer-modified tile adhesive specially designed for fixing new tiles over existing old tiles without removing the original layer. It provides excellent bonding strength, flexibility, and durability for challenging tile-on-tile installations on floors and walls.

Key Features

• Tile-on-Tile Technology: Bonds strongly with old ceramic/vitrified tile surfaces.

• High Polymer Modification: Ensures superior adhesion and long-lasting performance.

• No Tile Removal Needed: Saves time, labor cost, and reduces noise/dust.

• Water & Heat Resistant: Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and heavy-use areas.

• Non-Shrink Formula: Prevents hollow sound and debonding.

• Slip Resistant: Ideal for vertical tile-on-tile applications.

• Good Workability: Smooth spreading and extended open time.

Recommended Applications

• Tile on existing tile (ceramic or vitrified)

• Internal walls & floors

• Renovation works without removing old tiles

• Residential & commercial applications

• Shower areas, kitchens, corridors, balconies

Technical Properties (Typical)

• Water Mixing Ratio: 2225%

• Pot Life: 34 hours

• Open Time: 2530 minutes

• Coverage: ~3.54.5 kg/m (depends on trowel notch)

• Foot Traffic: After 24 hours

• Full Strength Cure: 7 days

Application Procedure

1. Clean Old Tiles: Remove dust, oil, fungus; scrub using a tile cleaner if needed.

2. Surface Preparation: Ensure old tiles are sound and not hollow.

3. Apply Primer/Slurry Coat: A bonding agent may be recommended for glossy surfaces.

4. Mix Adhesive: Add powder to water and mix thoroughly to a lump-free paste.

5. Trowel Application: Spread adhesive with a notched trowel.

6. Fix New Tiles: Press firmly within the open time.

7. Curing: Avoid traffic for 24 hours.

Packaging

• Usually available in 20 kg bags.

Superior Bond Strength for Tile-On-Tile Applications

This tile adhesive delivers a compressive strength greater than 10 MPa after 28 days and an adhesion strength of over 1 MPa, ensuring long-lasting tile installations. Its special blend of high-purity mineral fillers and polymers is engineered for robust performance in demanding environments, making it suitable for fixing tiles over existing ceramic, vitrified, porcelain, and natural stone surfaces.


Flexible and User-Friendly Application

Specially formulated for easy mixing and smooth application, the adhesive provides an open time of more than 20 minutes and a pot life of 3-4 hours, making tiling work efficient and less stressful. Its non-shrink and high bond features minimize the risk of failures, while the recommended mixing ratio ensures optimal consistency every time.


Efficient Coverage and Reliable Curing

With a coverage rate of approximately 2-3 kg/m2 at 3 mm bed thickness, the adhesive provides cost-effective tiling solutions for large and small projects alike. It allows light foot traffic as soon as 24 hours after application, with a full cure achieved in 28 days, reducing downtime and ensuring quick turnaround for both residential and commercial settings.
