Tiles come in a variety of materials that traditionally require different adhesive material according to the surface they get fixed on to. While Ceramic tiles absorb more water requiring thicker layers of cement, Porcelain tiles absorb less than 1% water, preventing cement and traditional mortars from sticking.

On the other hand, vast temperature gap between rainy and dry seasons in countries like ours, cause tiles and the adhesive agent to expand and shrink at different rates. Hence, traditional tile mortars or cement applications fail, and tiles pop out.

Freshly laid tiles using cement mortar or pure cement will slip on walls and therefore only be laid from bottom to top using spacers. Most industrial countries therefore now use the thin bed method. The thin bed method, instead of traditional cement mortars or cement use a formulated tile adhesive, which can be applied on a large area with a notched trowel to produce a uniform adhesive bed.

Cement Mortar vs Tile Adhesive

Cement Mortar (Thick-bed) Tile Adhesive (Thin-bed)
High material consumption Low material consumption
Very time consuming Fast and efficient
Low consistency Reliable to use
Very limited applicability Can be optimized for any application
Needs vertical supports Dose not require vertical support
Frequent popping out of tiles due to temperature variation Polymer modified adhesive will stand heating and cooling effect

TOKYO SUPERBOND is the Smart solution for all these problems.


TOKYO SUPERBOND is a specially designed polymer-based Tile Adhesives with a higher elasticity, adjusting to expansion as the temperature varies, thereby preventing cracking and popping of tiles. It also has the highest adhesive strength to guarantee better long-term results.


There’s a TOKYO SUPERBOND solution for every requirement; from floors to walls, indoors to out, no matter the surface or the tile material. It is the only choice for laying tiles on tiles, taking away the headache of breaking and levelling old floors.


And since all you have to do is ‘just add water’, you don’t require highly skilled labour, yet the job can be done in half the time, making it the most economical and efficient choice in the market.


Come take our tour, to see how simple and easy it is to use TOKYO SUPERBOND.
