Tile Adhesive Solutions
Engineered Bonding for Modern Ceramic, Vitrified & Large-Format Tiles
LIVORA provides tile adhesive solutions designed for different tile materials, dimensions, substrates, and installation requirements. As contemporary architecture moves towards larger, denser porcelain slabs and demanding vertical installations, standard mortars no longer suffice. Our formulation approach integrates polymer chemistry, controlled hydration, and slip resistance to ensure enduring adhesion under varied mechanical and thermal conditions.

LIVO-FIX
IS 15477:2019 Type 2T • EN 12004 Class C2TE
Polymer-modified, cement-based premium tile adhesive for fixing ceramic, porcelain, vitrified tiles, and natural stone on interior floors and walls. Features extended open time (E) and slip resistance (T) for vertical fixing and tile-on-tile work.
- High bond strength: Tensile adhesion ≥ 1.32 N/mm² at 28 days
- Extended open time (E): Minimum 30 mins open time with ~35 mins adjustability
- Slip & water resistant (T): Slip ≤ 0.5 mm for vertical installations
- Dual colour availability: Grey and White variants for light stone
LIVO-SET
IS 15477:2019 Type 2T • EN 12004 Class C2T
Cement-based Type 2T tile adhesive for fixing ceramic and vitrified tiles on suitable cement-based surfaces. Formulated to give reliable adhesion with reduced slip (T) during interior floor, wall, and domestic wet-area installations.
- Improved bonding: Reliable adhesion for ceramic and vitrified tiles
- Reduced slip (T): Formulated for stable vertical wall installations
- Floors, walls and wet areas: Versatile residential and commercial performance
- Professional fixing: Smooth trowel workability on cement screeds
LIVO-FLEX
IS 15477:2019 Type 3T • EN 12004 Class C2TE S1
Premium flexible, polymer-modified cement-based tile adhesive with S1 deformability. Engineered for demanding interior and exterior installations, large-format porcelain slabs, facades, glass mosaics, and swimming pools subject to thermal movement.
- Exceptional bond strength: Tensile adhesion ≥ 1.81 N/mm² at 28 days
- S1 Deformable: Transverse deflection ≥ 2.5 mm absorbs thermal and structural movement
- Extended open time (E): Min 30 mins open time with ~35 mins adjustability
- Ultra-low slip (T): Verified slip of only 0.18 mm on vertical facades

Application Best Practices
Proper substrate preparation, accurate mixing ratios, and verified tools are crucial to realizing the full engineered performance of LIVORA chemical systems.
Ensure substrate is structurally sound, clean, and free of dust, grease, or curing compounds.
Mix with specified clean water ratios using a mechanical paddle mixer until lump-free.
Apply using appropriately sized notched trowels to achieve 100% mortar coverage on large formats (back-buttering recommended).
Allow adequate curing time before grouting or subjecting surfaces to foot traffic.
