TA – M300 [T3] Tile Adhesive

TA – M300 [T3] is a premium, high-polymer modified adhesive designed for the most demanding installations. Engineered with high-grade silica and advanced polymers, it offers superior bond strength and flexibility. It is specifically formulated to withstand thermal expansion and contraction, making it the ultimate choice for external facades, swimming pools, and tile-on-tile applications where standard adhesives fail.

Standard of Reference

  • IS 15477: 2019 (Type 3)
  • EN 12004 (C2TES1 Classification)

Limitations & Restrictions

  • Not for continuous immersion (pools, water tanks) unless specifically approved; use a reactive/epoxy adhesive for submerged areas.
  • Do not use on metal, rubber, plastic, glass, or resin‑backed stone; use suitable epoxy/reactive systems.
  • Moisture‑sensitive or light‑colored stones may stain; use the white variant or epoxy adhesive.
  • Do not apply over weak, dusty, painted, or contaminated substrates; ensure sound, clean, and properly primed surfaces.

Areas of Implementation

  • External Cladding: Fixing tiles and natural stones on vertical exterior walls (facades).
  • Tile-on-Tile: Bonding new tiles directly over existing ceramic or mosaic floors without removing the old surface.
  • Critical Substrates: Drywall, fiber cement boards, and concrete surfaces subject to vibration or thermal shock.
  • Materials: Large format vitrified tiles, marbles, granites, glass mosaics, and artificial stones.
