Ceramic Tile Adhesives

Manufacturers must ensure the consistent and reliable bonding strength of ceramic tile adhesives. It’s also crucial that they meet environmental regulations and sustainability goals while maintaining the adhesive’s performance and durability. 

Tile-adhesive formulations require a suitable balance between open and curing time along with slip resistance that allows fast and easy workability. That’s where our BASF portfolio of binders and additives for ceramic tile adhesives (CTA) comes in. Explore our dispersion and additive solutions for ceramic tile adhesives!

Additives for cementitious ceramic tile adhesives
Our construction additive Starvis® S and Starvis® RS brands can significantly improve the demanding triangle of workability, sag resistance, and open time. Starvis® SE grades introduce basic sag resistance and workability into the mortar. Our HyCon® technology is designed to unlock the full potential of the applied binder at the right time.

Cementitious Solutions

R+D HyCon R 6450 F
R+D HyCon® R 6450 F is a powder based retarding construction additive for non-sag dry mortar products in CAC/CSA containing binder systems (e.g. ternary systems). It selectively retards the hydration of CAC/CSA with only little impact on the OPC reaction
STARVIS RS 421/01 F
Starvis® RS 421/01 F is a powder based rheology modifying construction additive with internal water storage. The ready to use thickening compound provides an improved workability, prolonged open time and an outstanding sag-resistance.
