Product Description
The Ramco Tile Fix adhesives come in various grades from T2 to T6 to cater to different specific needs and applications. Each grade meets specific adhesion requirements according to EN standard EN1348 and Indian standard IS 15477:2004. The T6 grade, in particular, contains White Cement, classified silica sand, and polymer additives for enhanced adhesion, water retention, and workability, making it ideal for fixing marble and light-colored stones.
For surface preparation, it is advised to remove all deteriorated materials, dirt, oil, grease, and other bond-inhibiting materials from the surface. The substrate should be wetted with clean water but must be dry prior to the application of Ramco Tile Fix. The product comes in dry form, needing only the addition of water to create a smooth, homogeneous mix. It's important to apply the adhesive with the appropriate notch trowel and to adhere to recommended application thicknesses for optimal results.
Ramco Tile Fix products are available in 25KG or 40KG bags, offering a shelf life of 6 months when stored in dry conditions. While the products are non-hazardous, it's recommended to wear protective gear during application due to their cementitious nature.

- Excellent Adhesion Property: Ensures tiles stick securely to the surface, preventing slipping or movement.
- Excellent Resistance to Water Absorption: Makes it suitable for use in wet areas and underwater applications such as swimming pools.
- Versatility: Can be used for a wide range of applications including fixing ceramic tile walls, floors, vitrified tile floors, tile on tile, granite and marble, and glass mosaic.
Features and Benefits
- Polymer-Modified: This attribute gives Tile Fix – T4 enhanced flexibility and adhesion compared to non-modified adhesives, making it suitable for a broader range of tiling materials.
- Cement-Based: Ensures a strong and durable bond suitable for various types of tiles and surfaces.
- Sag Resistance: Its excellent sag resistance makes it ideal for vertical applications, ensuring tiles stay in place without sliding.
Applications
Ramco Tile Fix – T4 is tailored to meet the adhesion requirements of the EN standard EN1348 type C2 and Indian standard IS 15477:2004 Type 2, indicating its high bond strength and suitability for demanding applications. The product is specifically designed for:
❄ Ceramic tiles for both floors and walls.
❄ Vitrified tiles for floors and walls.
❄ Granite tiles for floors and walls, ensuring a secure installation of these heavier tile types.
❄ Sunken areas such as toilets and swimming pools, highlighting its resistance to water and moisture.
❄ Tile-on-tile applications, enabling renovation projects where new tiles are fixed over old ones without the need for removal.
❄ Granite-on-granite applications, showcasing its high adhesive strength suitable for heavy and dense tiling materials.
The product's formulation allows for use in diverse environments and substrates, including areas that are frequently wet or submerged in water, like swimming pools and bathroom floors.
For surface preparation and application, ensure the substrate is clean, free of dust, oil, and grease, and properly wetted before application. The mortar mix should be homogeneous and applied using suitable tools and techniques for even coverage and proper bond strength.
