About Block Bonding Adhesive
Block Bonding Adhesive is a high quality blend of raw materials which includes Portland cement, polymers and graded aggregates. It is available in powdered form which can be easily mixed with water to make a thin sticky paste with faster settling rate to make highly durable bonds in between the concrete solid and hollow blocks. The compound has a large coverage area due to its low density and larger volume. This powdered mixture provides higher thermal insulation to prevent damages due to heavy sunlight and ultraviolet rays.
Outstanding Performance and ConvenienceThis adhesive offers rapid setting, high strength, and excellent water retention, making it ideal for block bonding applications. Its consistent coverage and non-combustible formulation deliver both safety and reliability, while the absence of post-curing reduces labor and time. Easy packaging and long shelf life ensure hassle-free storage and transport, supporting industrial construction needs.
Application and CompatibilitySpecially formulated for the bonding of AAC, fly ash, and concrete blocks, this adhesive is compatible with various surfaces and construction methods. The recommended glue thickness is 35 mm, ensuring optimal performance and minimal wastage. Its eco-friendly, non-toxic nature makes it suitable for projects where safety and environmental factors are paramount.
FAQs of Block Bonding Adhesive:
Q: How should Block Bonding Adhesive be mixed and applied for best results?
A: Mix the powder with 25-30% water by weight to achieve a smooth, lump-free paste. Apply the adhesive evenly on clean, dust-free block surfaces at a thickness of 3-5 mm, then position the blocks as required. The product offers a pot life of 2-3 hours after mixing.
Q: What is the typical coverage of a 40 kg bag of this adhesive?
A: Each 40 kg bag covers approximately 12-15 sq.ft at an average thickness of 3-5 mm, depending on surface conditions and workmanship.
Q: When does the adhesive set, and does it require post-curing?
A: The initial set occurs within 30 minutes, with the final set achieved in about 2 hours. No additional post-curing is required, simplifying the installation process.
Q: Where should the adhesive be stored to maintain its shelf life?
A: Store the adhesive in a dry, cool place at temperatures below 30C. The product comes in tamper-proof HDPE laminated bags, protecting it from moisture. Proper storage ensures a shelf life of 612 months.
Q: What types of blocks can this adhesive be used on?
A: This adhesive is suitable for AAC blocks, fly ash blocks, and concrete blocks, making it versatile for various masonry applications.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing this block bonding adhesive over traditional mortars?
A: Key benefits include high compressive and tensile strength, fast setting, excellent water retention, crack resistance, no VOC emissions, and eco-friendly, non-toxic ingredients. It also eliminates the need for post-curing and reduces labor and application time.
