Low solids, high strength multi-use gelled adhesives and adhesive mastics
Multi-use homogeneous breakable gelled adhesives and adhesive mastics which can be used &#8220;as is&#8221; for the installation of various types of tile, including tiles with deeply grooved backs, stone, marble, and other floor and wall coverings, flexible sheet goods, carpet and other uses, and can be mixed with a Portland cement powder to form a powerful latex-modified mortar having the added utility of a crack suppressive adhesive and functioning as a waterproofing membrane. The stabilized gelled adhesive or adhesive mastic prevents the separation and settling of components, and when Portland powdered cement is added, becomes a high strength latex modified mortar. The gelled adhesive or adhesive mastic is usable as a latex modified dry-set mortar. With the addition of Portland cement and silica sand, the gel will break and become a free-flowing liquid with additives which allow precise quantitation and easy mixing to produce a homogeneous latex modified thinset mortar that assumes the texture of a trowelable thinset mortar as more Portland cement/silica sand is added.
