Thin Set Adhesive (IS 0022) Type 2


It is highly flexible polymer based Thin set adhesive. It will mix with water to fix small, medium & large size ceramic tiles, vitrified tiles, fully vitrified tiles, mosaic tiles, stones using thin set method of application. Adhesive admix in place of water can be used for adhesive performance improvement.

Application:- It is specially designed to fix small, medium & large size tiles, stones on interior floor/wall & exterior floor applications. It can be used in dry or wet areas & can be used up to maximum bed thickness of 12mm. Before application, area needs to be clean & roughened. 

 Substrate:- 

 1. Cement Plaster 

 2. Cement Mortar Beds 

 3. Concrete 

 4. Concrete Masonry 

 5. Brick Masonry


Application Method:- 

 1. Clean the surface to avoid dirt, oil, grease, dust or any other loose particles 

 2. Ensure for surface flatness for adhesive application with the help of surface leveller. Please ensure surface 

     variations should not be more than 12 mm. 

 3. Take clean water 20 - 25% of adhesive by weight & always add adhesive into water (Use Adhesive admix for 

     performance improvement). 

 4. Mix the above mixture with the help of drill machine with suitable arrangement to mix the adhesive with water for 

     uniform paste formation. 

 5. After paste formation put the paste for 2 minutes to make adhesive mature. 

 6. Do not add more water/adhesive admix in paste to increase pot life. 

 7. Use the flat side of trowel to apply paste on mating parts 

 8. Use notched side of trowel (Square notched trowel of 6mm) at 45° to comb the paste on mating parts. 

 9. Press the tile on substrate & slide it to ensure proper paste filling between both for good initial bonding. 

     Clean this area after application. 

 10. Do not use tile installation area before 24 hrs. Grouting can be done after 24 hrs.
