Adhesives for ceramic tiles - Part 2: Test methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12004-2 standard specifies the methods for determining characteristics of adhesives used in the installation of ceramic tiles, both internally and externally. It is important to note that this standard does not provide performance requirements or recommendations for tile design and installation.
The standard describes several test methods, including the determination of open time, slip resistance, tensile adhesion strength for cementitious adhesives, shear adhesion strength for dispersion and reaction resin adhesives, and transverse deformation. These methods allow for the evaluation of various properties and performance aspects of the adhesive materials.
Furthermore, the standard highlights that ceramic tile adhesives can also be used for other types of tiles, such as natural stones, as long as they do not negatively impact the materials. The standard warns that it may involve hazardous materials and operations, and users should have familiarity with laboratory practices. It also emphasizes that compliance with safety and health practices and adherence to European and national regulatory conditions are the responsibility of the user.
