Advanced polymers for high-performance tile adhesives

  • Good cement compatibility
  • High water resistance
  • Improves workability of fresh mortar
  • Enhances adhesion to substrates
  • Strengthens mechanical properties

AXILAT™ redispersible powders, LIPATON™ (XSBR), PLEXTOL™ (Pure Acrylics), and REVACRYL™ (Styrene Acrylics) emulsion polymers enhance adhesion, water resistance, and durability in tile adhesives. Our portfolio supports formulators in meeting key performance criteria — slip resistance, open time, and deformability — aligned with international standards like EN12004.

Whether you're developing ready-to-use paste, two-component, or dry-mix tile adhesives, we offer tailored polymer solutions to match your needs. Installers benefit from improved wet adhesion, workability and reliable bonding on challenging substrates.

All our polymers are solvent-free, low-odour, and low-VOC — helping you create sustainable formulations that meet certifications such as EMICODE EC1+ and Blue Angel.
