6 Classification of adhesives for ceramic tiles and natural stones Strength classification The characteristics of tile adhesives are defined in Standard EN Since April 2004 it is no longer allowed to sell and use a tile adhesive in Europe that has not been tested according to this standard and the demands for CE-marking. Characteristics applicable must be mentioned on every packaging. Specifications Three different types of adhesives are determined: cementitious- C, dispersion- D and Reaction Resin R adhesives. For every type fundamental- and optional characteristics are described. Cement based adhesives A cement based adhesive that only fulfils the fundamental characteristics is classified as a C1 adhesive. Minimum requirements of adhesion strength results must be 0.5 N/mm². The fundamental tests involve: Initial tensile adhesion strength after 28 days dry storage. Tensile adhesion strength after 7 days dry storage and 21 days water immersion. Tensile adhesion strength after 25 freeze-thaw cycles. Tensile adhesion strength after 14 days dry storage and 14 days heat ageing at 70 C. Open time: tensile adhesion strength after 20 minutes installation and 28 days storage. Additional characteristics In order to be classified as a C2 adhesive, additional adhesion strength requirements of 1 N/mm² must be achieved. Optional characteristics An adhesive can also be classified for some special characteristics. These involve: F (fast setting) early tensile adhesion strength of 0.5 N/mm² after 6 hours. T (Tixotropic) slip test; slip of test tile must be 0.5 mm. E (extended open time); tensile adhesion strength after at least 30 minutes open time and 28 days storage. Ready-mixed adhesives A ready-mixed dispersion based adhesive must fulfil the legal European basic requirements. A D1 classified ready-mixed adhesive must have following fundamental characteristics: Initial shear adhesion strength of 1 N/mm² after 14 days dry storage. Shear adhesion strength of 1 N/mm² after heat ageing at 70 C and 24 hours cool down. Open time: tensile adhesion strength of 0.5 N/mm² after 20 minutes installation and 28 days storage. Additional characteristics A D2 classified ready-mixed adhesive also fulfils the additional characteristics: Adhesion strength of 0.5 N/mm² after 7 days dry storage and 7 days water immersion. Adhesion strength of 1 N/mm² at elevated temperature of 70 C and direct measurement. Optional characteristics For ready-mixed adhesives, some special characteristics can be measured: T (Tixotropic) slip test; slip of 200 g/100cm² test tile must be 0.5 mm. E (extended open time); tensile adhesion strength of 0.5 N/mm² after at least 30 minutes open time and 28 days storage. Table: CE-mark classification according to EN Cement based tile adhesives C1 C2 D1 D2 R1 R2 F T E Normal setting cementitious adhesive Improved cementitious adhesive with additional characteristics Ready-mixed tile adhesives Normal dispersion adhesive Improved dispersion adhesive with additional characteristics Reaction resin adhesives (epoxy) Normal reaction resin adhesive Improved reaction resin adhesive with additional characteristics Classes Fast setting adhesive Adhesive with reduced slip Adhesive with extended open time Higher demands Forbo Eurocol believes in order to meet the requirements stated in the standard, laboratory test results are sometimes not adequate in practise. On the job, circumstances can have a negative influence on the adhesion of the adhesive. For this purpose we choose to test our products under extreme circumstances and to aim at development criteria far above the standard requirements. 6

12 Classification of tile grouts EN Besides an European standard for tile adhesives, also the EN standard for tile grouts is applicable. In this standard a number of fundamental and additional characteristics for cement- and epoxy based tiles grouts are mentioned. Fundamental characteristics Tile grouts are defined in different types: cementitious grouts (CG) and reaction resin grouts (RG). In order to mention a certain classification, cementitious grout must fulfil the fundamental characteristics (CG1) or additional characteristics (CG2) after several prescribed tests. CG1 fundamental characteristics Abrasion resistance of 2,000 mm³. Flexural strength after dry storage 2.5 N/mm². Flexural strength after freeze-thaw cycles 2.5 N/mm². Compressive strength after dry storage 15 N/mm². Compressive strength after freeze-thaw cycles 15 N/mm². Shrinkage 3 mm/m¹. Water absorption after 30 minutes 5 g. Water absorption after 240 minutes 10 g. Additional characteristics There are a number of additional characteristics applicable for a CG2 tile grout; High abrasion resistance(ar) 1,000 mm³ Reduced water absorption (W) after: 30 minutes 2 g. Reduced water absorption (W) after: 240 minutes 5 g. These are mainly applicable for (cementitious) tile grouts with a high synthetic binder content. Therefore a better water tightness and good adhesion to the sides of the tiles can be obtained. These tile grouts are often used where high demands are required e.g. bathrooms, terraces or swimming pools.
