When buying materials for repairs, we often hear the phrase "good adhesion" or "due to its high adhesion, the material will hold perfectly". Therefore, in this article we would like to tell you what it is and why it is given such important importance.
And the higher the adhesion index is, the better these surfaces will be glued, which, due to the density, can be either the same – homogeneous or completely different. The adhesive itself is called an adhesive. It can be part of a variety of materials, such as:
- Tile Glue;
- Grout for tiles;
- Plaster;
- Putty;
- Paint;
- Repair staff and so on.
It is natural that the adhesion index in the material, the direct purpose of which is precisely the bonding of surfaces, should be higher.
Also, the adhesive directly affects the quality and class of tile adhesive. For example, if we take the standard glue Teknofay C1T and Teknofay EX C2TE, then the adhesion of the second will be more than 2 times higher. Accordingly, with the help of Teknofay EX C2TE tile adhesive, it is possible to glue a larger and heavier decorative material with which a composition with class C1 would not withstand.
If everything is clear with glue, there is no way without adhesive, then about other building materials. the question arises: "Why is this indicator also so important?".
Without a high-quality adhesive in the composition of the material, it simply will not stick to the surface, especially if it concerns vertical ones.
- For convenient application and a long service life of plaster, adhesion is needed, which will ensure reliable fastening of the material, for example, to a concrete surface.
- To seal up splinters, holes and other damage to concrete, it is necessary to use a high-quality repair mixture with a high adhesion index, which will ensure decades of surface operation.
- For reliable and correct sealing between tile joints, grout is needed again with a high adhesion index, so that over time it does not begin to crumble or peel off, thereby providing the opportunity to damage the decorative material through the seams from the inside.
Therefore, before you buy any construction material, check what kind of adhesion it has and consult what its minimum indicator is suitable for your repair.
