Examination of elasticity adhesive application method for exterior tiled bonding.

Abstract

Tile bonding by Silyl-terminated polyether based elastic adhesive has been reported as a superior construction method to follow the movement and cracking compared with tile bonding by mortar. Meanwhile, though tile bonding by the above elastic adhesive has been conducted mainly by trowel so far, it's detailed method like the relationship between shape of trowel and adhesion strength has not been studied. In this paper, the influence of tile bonding method by different shape of trowel on effective adhesion area and adhesion strength will be discussed.
