GECO TILEBOND
Polymer Modified Tile & Stone Adhesive
GECO TILEBOND is a polymer-modified cementitious adhesive suitable for fixing tiles and natural stones of regular sizes. TILEBOND replaces the traditional thick bed process with thin bed that allows tiles & stones to be laid more easily and faster. The advanced polymers deliver excellent adhesion, and its selfcuring properties doesn’t leave air pockets resulting in stronger anchoring of tiles & stones. TILEBOND conforms to IS 15477:2004 Type 1.

Application Procedure
- Sufficiently flatten the substrate without undulations and clean thoroughly.
- Gradually add TILEBOND to water as per the prescribed mixing ratio and mix until a workable paste is obtained. The total quantity of water may be slightly adjusted to achieve the required consistency.
- After mixing, allow the paste to stand for 2 minutes for it to mature.
- Apply the adhesive over the surface and comb with a notched side of the trowel to achieve a uniform thickness of 2 to 3 mm.
- Place the tiles firmly on the adhesive bed with a twisting motion, ensuring good initial bonding and eliminating the possibility of any air voids.
- Joint grouting can commence after 24 hours with GECO JOINTFILL.
