Knauf India Launches Drystar Gypsum Board

"Walplast Products has announced the launch of HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU, a next-generation two-component polyurethane-epoxy hybrid tile adhesive designed for high-performance tile and stone installations.

Developed for modern construction requirements and demanding environments, the adhesive offers strong bonding, high flexibility and long-term durability across interior and exterior wall and floor applications.

The product is suitable for fixing ceramic, vitrified, engineered, artificial and natural stone surfaces on a wide range of substrates. These include cementitious surfaces, metal, drywall, plywood, and absorbing as well as non-absorbing bases.

HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU conforms to IS 15477:2019 Type 5 and EN 12004 R2T standards. Its advanced PU-epoxy hybrid formulation delivers high deformability of over 30 mm, along with strong adhesion and flexibility. This makes it suitable for large-format tiles, stone applications and challenging substrates where conventional adhesives may face performance limitations.

The adhesive offers extended open time and longer pot life, helping improve tile placement, adjustment and installation precision on site. It can be used for both vertical and horizontal applications across interior and exterior environments, supporting long-term durability and finish quality under varied project conditions.

The product is supplied as a two-part pack with a defined mix ratio and can be applied using standard trowel methods after proper surface preparation. It has been designed primarily for masons and contractors, while also addressing the needs of homeowners seeking high-performance installation solutions.

Lokesh Jain, Business Head - Tile Adhesive, Putty and Paint Division, Walplast Products, said the growing adoption of large-format tiles and premium interior finishes is driving demand for advanced installation solutions. He added that HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU offers contractors and applicators a premium solution combining strong bonding performance and superior finish quality across residential and commercial projects.

Sanjay Pawar, Head - R&D and Quality, said the product has been developed using advanced PU-epoxy hybrid technology to meet the evolving technical requirements of modern tile installation systems. He added that the R&D focus was to create a high-performance adhesive offering superior adhesion, flexibility and durability across multiple substrates while ensuring better workability and long-term application stability.

The launch further strengthens Walplast’s HomeSure portfolio, which includes wall putty, tile adhesives, construction chemicals, admixtures, gypsum-based products, textures, paints and allied building solutions. The company has a network of over 800 distributors, 6,000 dealers and 65,000 influencers across India."
