Recycled rubber powder generated in Australia is a popular material for modified tile adhesive. The rubber powder provides the flexible properties of cured rubber to the tile adhesive. This helps prevent cracking, which can be caused over time by movement in buildings.
Rubber-modified tile adhesive is ideal for adhering ceramic tiles, porcelain, mosaics, and natural stone to concrete floors and internal walls, especially where flexibility is essential.

Rubber modified tile adhesive is a flexible adhesive enhanced with recycled rubber powder. It provides superior elasticity and helps prevent cracking due to movement or vibration. This makes it ideal for internal walls, concrete floors, and installations using ceramic tiles, glass mosaics, and natural stone.
Flexibility in tile adhesive helps absorb structural movement, preventing tiles from cracking or lifting. It is particularly important in areas where substrate conditions may vary, such as concrete floors, internal walls, or surfaces exposed to temperature fluctuations.
It is suitable for most tile types, including porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, translucent tiles, and fully vitrified tiles. However, for moisture-sensitive stone, it is essential to select a rubber modified adhesive that excludes moisture sensitive stone rated.
Yes. It is suitable for both walls and floors, including installations in wet areas, kitchens, and living spaces. For best results, choose the appropriate tile adhesive formulation for your substrates, tile type, and area of application.
Yes. The product’s low moisture content (<0.8%) ensures long shelf life and reliable performance. It is easy to store, transport, and apply, supporting efficient manufacturing and installation workflows across both small and large-scale construction sites.
