    Where to use TILEX 350: tile adhesive for ceramic, vitrified and stone

    TILEX 350 is a tile adhesive of the thin-set, polymer modified cementitious type, compliant with IS 15477-2004 minimum Type 1. It is a single component powder. You add it to water, mix to a lump-free paste, spread it and comb it with a notched trowel. It fixes ceramic, vitrified, glazed, mosaic, stone, granite and marble tiles inside and outside.

    • Ceramic, Vitrified & Glazed Tiles

      Thin-set bed of 3–6 mm, combed with a notched trowel.

    • Mosaic Tiles

      Suitable for mosaic tiles, tapped firmly into the combed bed.

    • Stone, Granite & Marble

      Bonds stone, granite and marble to cementitious surfaces.

    • Tile-on-Tile

      Scrape the old tile surface first to give a mechanical key.

    • Cementitious Screed & Cement Mortar Beds

      Excellent adhesion to screed, cement mortar beds, plaster and concrete.

    • Bathrooms & Kitchens

      Fixes wall and floor tiles in bathrooms and kitchens.

    • Lobbies & Facades

      Suitable for internal lobby floors and external facade surfaces.

    • Swimming Pools

      Listed for swimming pool tiling, with final curing in 14 days at 30°C.

    • Interior & Exterior

      Suitable for both internal and external tiling work.

    • Vertical & Horizontal

      Works on walls as well as on floors.

    A 25 kg pack mixed with 7.5 litres of water covers 65–75 sq.ft at a 3 mm bed. That is the tile adhesive coverage per bag. Compressive strength is above 10 N/mm² and shear strength above 0.8 N/mm², a guard against tiles coming loose. Open time is 30 minutes, pot life about 2 hours at 30°C, and heavy traffic is possible after around 24 hours. Always add the powder to the water, never the other way round.

    Armstrong Chemicals supplies TILEX 350 to sites across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, including Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Bengaluru, Kochi and Chennai.

    Why TILEX 350 works

    • Polymer modified cement

      The polymer modified cementitious mix gives excellent adhesion to plaster, concrete, screed, cement mortar beds and existing tiles.

    • Non-shrink and self-curing

      It is non-shrink, so the bed holds its volume as it hardens, and it is self-curing once the tiles are fixed.

    • Single component powder

      Just add water. There is no second part to measure, which keeps mixing on site simple.

    Mixing Rule · 25 Kgs + 7.5 Ltrs (3:1)

    Pour 7.5 litres of water first, then add 25 kg TILEX 350 powder while mixing. Do NOT put water into the powder. Mix with slow-speed drill (50–100 rpm). Consume within 2 hours @ 30°C pot life.

    Why TILEX 350

    IS 15477-2004 Type 1

    Polymer modified cementitious adhesive meeting IS 15477-2004 minimum Type 1 — reliable specification baseline for all tile types on internal and external applications.

    Groutable Within Hours

    A stated advantage: grouting can be done within a few hours of tile fixing. Heavy traffic after 24 hours. Faster installation cycle than traditional mortar bed methods.

    All Tile Types · Tile-on-Tile

    Ceramic, vitrified, glazed, mosaic, stone, granite and marble — plus tile-on-tile installation after adequate surface key preparation.

    Non-Shrink · Self-Curing

    Hardens without shrinkage; self-curing — no external water curing required. Add TILEX URP ADMIX to replace water for enhanced bond strength.

    For enhanced bond strength on demanding surfaces, gauge TILEX 350 with TILEX URP ADMIX in place of water.
