Walplast Products has expanded its HomeSure portfolio with the launch of HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU, a two-component polyurethane-epoxy hybrid tile adhesive designed for high-performance tile and stone installations across residential and commercial projects.

Developed to address evolving construction requirements, the adhesive offers strong bonding strength, flexibility and long-term durability for interior and exterior wall and floor applications. It is suitable for fixing ceramic, vitrified, engineered, artificial and natural stone surfaces on a variety of substrates, including cementitious surfaces, metal, drywall, plywood, and both absorbing and non-absorbing bases.

HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU conforms to IS 15477:2019 (Type 5) and EN 12004 R2T standards. According to the company, its advanced PU-epoxy hybrid formulation provides deformability exceeding 30 mm, making it suitable for large-format tiles, natural stone applications and challenging substrates where conventional adhesives may not deliver optimal performance. The product also offers extended open time and longer pot life, enabling greater installation precision and ease of application on site.
