Description
TILE ACE MAX is a professional-grade, high-performance tile adhesive based on advanced KANEKA MS POLYMER technology. Engineered for extreme reliability in both indoor and outdoor settings, this low-modulus white adhesive is specifically designed to meet ISO 14448:2016 specifications for exterior tile applications. Proudly made in the USA, it offers a superior alternative to traditional mortars for challenging installations.
Key Features & Performance
- Advanced Flexibility: With an 80% elongation at break and a low-modulus design, this adhesive effectively absorbs structural movement and vibration.
- Exceptional Bond Strength: In hand peeling tests, TILE ACE MAX demonstrates Cohesion Failure (CF) across nearly all substratesmeaning the internal bond of the adhesive is stronger than the forces acting upon it.
- Generous Working Time: Provides a 60-minute open time and 60-minute skin-over time (at 73F), allowing installers ample time for precise adjustments.
- Weather & Temperature Resistant: Built to withstand extreme environments, it maintains performance in temperatures ranging from -40F to 194F (-40C to 90C).
- Efficient Cure Rate: Reaches a cure depth of 3.3 mm after just one day and 6.4 mm after seven days.
Compatible Substrates
TILE ACE MAX is highly versatile, achieving a cohesive bond with a wide variety of materials:
- Masonry & Ceramics: Mortar, porcelain, and ceramic tiles.
- Metals: Anodized aluminum and stainless steel.
- Plastics: PVC, Polycarbonate, and ABS.
- Construction Materials: Pine wood, glass, and foam core backer boards (noting material failure on backer boards, indicating the board will give way before the bond).
