In decoration and building materials, low water absorption tiles have become mainstream products, and in terms of adhesives, tile adhesive is a better choice, from the ordinary C1 type to the C2 type to strengthen the performance, tile adhesive has developed quite perfectly. However, in China, because people are still in the traditional cement mortar era, the lack of understanding of tile adhesive has resulted in the general performance of ceramic tile adhesive in the domestic market, and the development of local brands is not as mature as foreign brands.
 
Founded in Milan, Italy in 1937, Mapei is the world's leading manufacturer of adhesives and auxiliary products, and is also the most trusted ceramic tile adhesive brand abroad. Specializing in the R&D and production of chemical products for the construction industry, Mapei currently has 81 subsidiaries, 18 major R&D centers, and 73 production centers all over the world.
 
In 2016 alone, Mapei won the "Golden Spatula Award of China Mortar Industry", the highest honor in China's mortar industry, and was selected as "2016 China Ceramic Tile Adhesive Brand of Choice for Veneers", "2016 China Flooring Worker Preferred Self-leveling Brand" and "2016 China Oiler Preferred Putty Brand". The endorsement of multiple awards is enough to reflect the outstanding performance of Mapei in the domestic building materials market.
 
In 2004, Mapei entered the Hong Kong market, and the following year officially entered the Chinese mainland market, many well-known buildings and venues in China have used Mapei's products, such as Shanghai Disney Resort, Mengniu Dairy and Chongqing Airport. Since the 70s of the 20th century, Mapei has been providing building materials for the construction of sports venues for the Olympic Games and other international sports events. For the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more than 10 sports venues used Mapei adhesive for their tracks and rubber flooring. In the construction of the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, Mapei also played an important role.
 
As early as December 2014, most of the cement-based tile adhesives and cement-based waterproofing products produced by Mapei in China have passed the China Environmental Labeling Product Certification, which is the most authoritative environmental certification in China. And Mapei's tile adhesive products are abundant, corresponding to different types of tiles, Mapei has matching tile adhesive. Nowadays, ceramic tiles are developing in the direction of low water absorption, tile adhesive in the adhesive performance and later effect, compared with the traditional cement mortar are more than equal, but this does not mean that tile adhesive can be used with any tile, for ceramic tiles with very low water absorption, reinforced or special tile adhesive because of its emphasis on the configuration of ingredients, glue powder and other components will be more than ordinary tile glue, strengthen the adhesion with the tile surface, so as to play a better paste effect.
 
For tiles with low water absorption, such as ordinary glazed tiles, Mapei C1 tile adhesive can be used, but considering that the higher the adhesion force, the higher the safety of pasting, it is more recommended to use C2 tile adhesive.
 
Among Mapei's products, tile adhesive 95 is an ordinary C1 type product, while tile adhesive CP1 is a reinforced C2 product. For those with higher adhesive requirements, such as large tiles, vitrified tiles and stone, flexible tile adhesive 70 and high flexible tile adhesive S1 can provide better adhesive performance. The highly flexible tile adhesive has better performance and higher safety when dealing with the environment with a large temperature difference between day and night. These four types of tile adhesives are divided into two types, gray and white, and consumers can choose according to the color of the tile.
