What exactly are the stone adhesives?

Engineered Specifically for Natural Stone. Formulated with advanced polymer-modified cement technology, our stone adhesives deliver uncompromising bond strength and long-term structural durability. High-thixotropy, zero-vertical-slip performance holds heavy stone cladding firmly in place on walls, while specialized grades offer either Extended Open Time for intricate, large-format installations or Rapid Setting for fast-track projects and moisture-sensitive stones.

  Property  Technical Mechanism     Standard Code (ISO 13007 / EN 12004)   On-Site Benefit for Natural Stone
Polymer Content in CementRedispersible polymer powders (EVA/acrylic) form flexible polymer films throughout the cement matrix C2 (Improved Adhesion>1.0 N/mm^2 & S1 / S2 (Deformable) (Deformable) (Deformable)Absorbs differential thermal expansion and structural vibration between the substrate and dense stone without cracking or debonding.
No Vertical Slip Thixotropic rheology modifiers increase yield stress when shear ceases T (Slip<0.5 mm))) Allows installers to hang heavy granite, slate, or travertine wall cladding top-down without spacers bearing the full dead load.
Extended Setting / Open TimeWater-retaining cellulose ethers slow down surface skinning and evaporationE (Extended Open Time> 30 mins)Crucial in hot, dry, or windy climates and when double-buttering large-format slabs where adjustments take longer.
   Fast Setting TimeRapid-hydrating aluminate cements bind free mix water chemically within hoursF (Early Tensile Strength >0.5 N/mm^2 in 6 hrs)in 6 hrs)in 6 hrs) Prevents moisture-sensitive stones (green marble, resin-backed stone, agglomerates) from absorbing water, cupping, warping, or discoloring.

Uses 

  • Non-Staining White Cement Base (Efflorescence Control): Translucent and light-colored stones like Carrara marble, Onyx, and white limestone act like sponges. Highlighting a White Base formulation with low free-alkali content assures buyers that grey cement pigments and soluble salts won't bleed through to the surface of expensive stone.

  • Thicker Bed Capability (Medium/Thick Bed up to 15–20 mm): Unlike factory-calibrated ceramic tiles, natural stone often has slight thickness variations or cleft backs. Mentioning zero-shrinkage thick-bed capability tells contractors they can level uneven stone backs without hollow spots or curing shrinkage.
