Tile Adhesive in UAE
Kerakoll Super Bio
Tile Adhesive for Dubai Climate
Kerakoll Super Bio is a high-performance, mineral-based tile adhesive designed for hot climates like the UAE. It offers strong adhesion, extended workability, and environmentally responsible performance. Supplied in the UAE by Flameco Group, Super Bio is widely used for porcelain tiles across residential, commercial, and light industrial projects.
Why Choosing the Right Tile Adhesive in Dubai Matters
Dubai’s climate places exceptional stress on tile installations:
Surface temperatures can exceed 60°C
High humidity affects curing and bonding
Strong air movement accelerates drying
Substrates expand and contract daily
Using the wrong tile adhesive often results in:
Reduced bond strength
Hollow sounds beneath tiles
Cracking or debonding
Premature failure of finishes
Kerakoll Super Bio is formulated to perform reliably under these conditions when used within its recommended applications.
High-Performance Tile Adhesive for UAE Projects
Super Bio is a single-component, cementitious tile adhesive suitable for ceramic tiles on cement-based substrates. It combines mechanical strength with extended open and adjustability times, making it installer-friendly even in warm environments.
Key Advantages of Kerakoll Super Bio
Strong adhesion to cementitious substrates
Suitable thickness up to 10 mm
Extended open time (≥ 30 minutes)
Long adjustability time (≥ 40 minutes)
