Tile Bond CTA01 Construction Tile Adhesive, Bag

Tile Bond CTA1 Construction Tile Adhesive is a premium, cement-based tile and stone fixing solution designed for modern residential and commercial installations. Enhanced with imported polymer additives, CTA1 delivers superior bonding performance compared to traditional sand-cement mortar mixes.
It is specially engineered to provide high initial tack, non-sag performance, and excellent flexibility. Whether you are setting ceramic, vitrified, or natural stone tiles on new floors or performing tile-on-tile renovation over existing substrates, Tile Bond CTA1 provides a durable, shock-resistant bond. Its single-pack formulation ensures consistent quality—simply add water, mix, and apply. With a fast-setting matrix that permits grouting within 24 hours, CTA1 accelerates project timelines while reducing overall labor overhead.

Product Shelf Life Warranty: Typically guaranteed for 12 months from the date of manufacturing, provided the bag remains unopened, undamaged, and stored in a cool, dry place off the ground (away from direct moisture and humidity).
Performance Guarantee: The manufacturer guarantees product performance (adhesion and tensile strength) only when mixed, prepared, and applied strictly in accordance with the technical specifications and surface preparation instructions.
Exclusions from Warranty:
Application on structurally unstable, vibrating, or shifting substrates.
Incorrect water-to-powder mixing ratios or improper slaking/mixing procedures.
Exposure to moisture before the 24-hour initial curing period is complete.
Improper storage resulting in lump formation or water damage inside the bag prior to use.

1. How do I prepare Tile Bond CTA1 for application?
Mix the CTA1 powder gradually with clean water in a clean mixing bucket according to the recommended ratio. Use a mechanical stirrer to mix until a smooth, lump-free paste is achieved, then allow it to stand (slake) for 5 minutes before stirring again and applying.
2. Can Tile Bond CTA1 be used for tile-on-tile applications?
Yes, Tile Bond CTA1 is formulated to bond directly to existing tiles, polished surfaces, dry wall systems, and standard masonry substrates. Ensure the base surface is clean, free of dust, grease, and loose particles before application.
3. How soon after laying tiles can I apply tile grout?
Grouting can be done within 24 hours after tile installation, as the adhesive sets fast without requiring prolonged moisture evaporation periods.
