Abstract
An organic, easy to use, dual function adhesive in the form of a single package ready-to-use stabilized gelled mastic adhesive which prevents the separation and settling of components, for use in the installation of ceramic tile as an ordinary mastic adhesive when used as furnished for ceiling and wall tiles and, when Portland powdered cement is added, becomes a high strength latex modified dry-set mortar because of the unique breakable gel properties of the mastic adhesive. The gelled mastic adhesive is usable as the water component for dry-set mortar because, on the addition of portland cement, the gel will break and become a free-flowing liquid with additives thereby allowing precise quantitation and easy mixing to produce a homogeneous dry-set mortar with the strength and water resistance of a latex modified Portland cement based composition and also functions as a waterproofing and crack suppressing membrane adhesive.
