Specifies performance requirements for organic-based adhesives, cement-based adhesives and cement-based tile fixing mortars containing organic additives and used as adhesives for the installation of ceramic wall and floor tiles and mosaics. Does not apply to specialized installations such as swimming pools, hot wall service conditions, industrial and institutional installations and cold wall service conditions. Appendices include methods for determining bond strength in shear of the adhesive at room temperature after air drying and after cyclic water immersion, bond strength in tension after drying, cyclic accelerating ageing and resistance to fungal growth.
Scope
This Standard specifies performance requirements for organic-based adhesives, cement-based adhesives and cement-based mortars containing organic additives used as adhesives for the installation of ceramic wall and floor tiles and mosaics.
The Standard is not intended to cover adhesives such as chemical resistant epoxy and furan-based compositions, which are designed for the installation of ceramic tiles in industrial applications.
Specialized installations such as swimming pools, hot wall service conditions (e.g. tiled areas in close proximity to high heat output), industrial and institutional installations and cold wall service conditions (e.g. tiled areas in freezer chambers, cold rooms) are not specifically covered by this Standard:
