Abstract

A water resistant ready-mixed adhesive suitable for fixing ceramic tiles by either the thick-bed or thin-bed method comprises a dispersion or solution of a synthetic organic polymer (such as an aqueous dispersion of a styrene/acrylate copolymer), an inorganic filler (such as silica sand), an inorganic additive capable of producing a consistency which will enable the adhesive to be spread evenly (such as fumed silica), and optionally minor amounts of additives selected from organic thickening agents, coalescing solvents, plasticizers, dispersing agents, preservatives and pigments.

Description

SPECIFICATION Ceramic tile adhesive This invention concerns ceramic tile adhesives.
Ceramic tile adhesives are generally classified as either thin-bed adhesives or thick-bed adhesives.
Thick-bed adhesives are usually used when the tiles are to be fixed to an uneven surface.
Thick-bed adhesives known for fixing ceramic tiles are either two or more component materials or powders which require the addition of water prior to use. Ready-mixed adhesives for ceramic tiles are known but these are not generally suitable for thick-bed methods and do not develop good water resistance. Such adhesives are usually polyvinyl acetate emulsions in water containing fillers such as good gypsum or ground calcium carbonate.
The object of this invention is to provide a water resistance ready-mixed adhesive suitable for fixing ceramic tiles by either the thick-bed or thin-bed method.
Accordingly this invention provides an adhesive composition comprising a dispersion or solution of a synthetic organic polymer, an inorganic filler and an inorganic additive capable of producing a consistency which will enable the adhesive to be spread evenly.
The adhesive composition may also comprise one or more minor additives selected from organic thickening agents, coalescing solvents, plasticizers, dispersing agents, preservatives and pigments.
Any suitable synthetic organic polymer dispersion or solution may be used and may comprise a blend of polymers. Examples of polymers which may be used include acrylic polymers, styrene/acrylate copolymers, vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymers and vinyl acetate/ethylene/vinyl chloride copolymers. The polymers dispersions or solutions will usually be in water but organic solvents may be used. The presence of the organic polymer in the adhesive composition is for the production of a highly water-resistant film on setting.
The inorganic filler will usually be a blend of ground fillers of graded particle size. Preferred fillers are silica sands but other chemical types may be used to enable thick layers of adhesive to be used without causing undue shrinkage/stress in the tiles.
A typical blend of fillers has the following particle size distribution.
Sieve Sizes % by weight Passing 25 mesh retained on 52 mesh 5-15 Passing 52 mesh retained on 100 mesh 25-55 Passing 100 mesh retained on 150 mesh 15-25 Passing 150 mesh retained on 200 mesh 5-15 Passing 200 mesh retained on 300 mesh 5-15 Finer than 300 mesh 5-15 The inorganic additive capable of producing a consistency in the adhesive which enables it to be spread evenly may also prevent settling or separation of the fillers and other ingredients of the adhesive composition. The inorganic additive may be termed a thickening agent and may be a lightweight inorganic material. Preferred inorganic additives are fumed silica (such as sold under the Trade Names Aerosil and Carbosil), Kaolins (Aluminium Silicates) e.g. Satintone (Trade Mark) Attapulgites (Magnesium aluminium silicates e.g. Attagel (Trade Mark) Diatomites (Snowfloss, Superfloss) (Trade Mark's) and China clays.
Organic thickening agents which may be added to the adhesive compositions of the invention include cellulose ethers and polyacrylates.
Coalescing solvents and plasticizers may be used to obtain the required film forming properties of the polymer.
Suitable coalescing solvents are esters and glycol ethers such as those sold under the Trade Names Dalpad A, (aromatic gylcol ether) Butyl Carbitol (diethglene glycolmonobutylether), and Polysolvan O (ester of isobutyl alcohol and glycollic and butyl glycollic acids) and white spirit. Any suitable plasticizer for the polymer may be used. One example of a suitable plasticizer is dibutyl phthalate.
Examples of suitable dispersing agents are non-ionic surfactants and acrylic dispersing agents.
Preservatives which may be used include tributyltin oxide and that sold under the Trade Mark Thion 60 (thiadiazine) and suitable pigments include titanium oxide although any inert pigment may be used to obtain a desired colour.
A typical adhesive composition of the invention comprises 2 to 50% by weight of a synthetic organic polymer dispersion or solution (30 to 70% solids), 40 to 80% by weight of inorganic fillers, 0.5 to 15% by weight of an inorganic additive an from 0 to 10% by weight of minor additions.
The adhesive compositions of this invention may be prepared in any convenient manner but usually the organic polymer will firstly be diluted with water or other solvents, the minor additives will then be added followed by the inorganic additive then the fillers.
The adhesive compositions of this invention are usually in the form of single component ready-mixed adhesives suitable for fixing ceramic tiles by the thick-bed method or the thin-bed method. Although principally for use in fixing tiles to floor, the adhesive compositions of this invention may be suitable for fixing ceramic tiles to walls.
The adhesive compositions of this invention may provide one or more of the following desirable properties.
1. Capable of being used at a bedding thickness of up to about 6 mm to enable tiles with deep back patterns to be fixed and to take up irregularities in the backing: 2. Develop a high level of water resistance; 3. Suitablefora wide variety of types offloortile; 4. Suitable for fixing tiles to different types of base, e.g. concrete, screeds, timber, asphalt, plastic sheeting and tiles and existing ceramic tiles; 5. Low drying shrinkage; 6. High adhesion strength under wet or dry conditions.
This invention will now be further described by means of the following Examples: Example 1 A ready mixed ceramic tile adhesive composition was prepared by mixing an aqueous styrene/acrylate copolymer dispersion with water. Then cellulose ether was added, followed by coalesing solvent, Dalpad A.
Finally the Aerosil filler, and silica sand were added. The resultant mixture had the following composition: Parts by weight Styrene/acrylate co-polymer 100 dispersion (45% solids) Silica sand 40/90 350 f ,Silica sand 35% on 200 mesh 100 % ,Coalescing solvent (Dalpad A) 5 Cellulose ether 15,000 viscosity 1 grade Aerosil 2 Water 55 Example 2 A ready mixed ceramic tile adhesive composition was produced as in Example 1 by mixing the following ingredients: Parts by weight Styrene/acrylate co-polymer 100 dispersion (45% solids) Silica sand 40/90 400 Silica sand 35% on 200 mesh 50 Coalescing solvent (Dalpad A) 5 Cellulose ether 15,000 viscosity 2 grade Fumed silica 1 Water 50
