BS EN 12808-1 specifies the test method to be used to determine the chemical resistance of ceramic tile adhesives and grouts under anticipated service conditions.
BS EN 12808-1 applies to reaction resin ceramic tile grouts and adhesives for internal and external ceramic tile installations on walls and floors.
Note: BS EN 12808-1 does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles and grouts.
BS EN 12808-1 on tile adhesives and grouts is useful for:
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.
