Why should you use BS EN 12808-1 - Tile adhesives and grouts?
Ceramic tile adhesive is the compound used to stick the tiles to the wall or floor. Grout is the mortar used to fill in the gaps between tiles and create a uniform look, as well as protect the surface.
BS EN 12808-1 provides you with detailed test procedures for the determination of the chemical resistance of reaction resin mortars. Following test procedure helps you to measure the ability of mortars to endure a chemical attack, with high chemical resistance has less chance of corrosion and protects against chemical attacks.
