Nanoscale Enhancer Tile Adhesive

Nanoscale Enhancer: A New Solution to Break Through

the Water-Resistant Strength Bottleneck of Tile Adhesives

Nanoscale Enhancer HS-93 is a novel additive specifically designed to improve the performance of cement-based materials. Utilizing unique nanotechnology, this product effectively optimizes the microstructure and mechanical properties of tile adhesives.

I. Mechanism of Action

  • Pore-Filling Effect: Nano-scale particles can thoroughly fill the microscopic pores between cement particles, significantly enhancing the material’s density.

  • Hydration Promotion Function: Acts as nucleation sites to promote the cement hydration reaction, accelerating early strength development.

  • Rheological Property Improvement: Optimizes the rheological characteristics of the paste, reducing water demand while ensuring workability.

II. Performance Validation

Comparative tests confirm:

Samples without HS-93:

Lower water-resistant tensile bond strength.

Samples with HS-93:

After adding the nanoscale enhancer, the water-resistant tensile bond strength of the tile adhesive significantly increased, and the failure mode was notably more cohesive. This effect remains significant even when the dosage of redispersible polymer powder is as low as 0.5%.

III. Usage Recommendations

It is recommended to add an appropriate amount of HS-93 to the tile adhesive formulation; the specific dosage can be adjusted based on actual requirements. During use, ensure the nano-particles are fully dispersed to achieve optimal results.
This product provides an effective technical solution for enhancing the performance of tile adhesives, making it particularly suitable for application scenarios demanding high water resistance.
