  • How RDP Enhances Crack Resistance in Thin-Bed Tile Adhesives

    How RDP Enhances Crack Resistance in Thin-Bed Tile Adhesives

    Thin-bed adhesives (typically 3–6 mm thick) rely on cementitious binders for strength. While cement provides rigidity, it lacks flexibility, making the adhesive prone to microcracks as substrates shift or environmental conditions fluctuate. These cracks compromise bond integrity, leading to tile ...
