Very interesting thread thanks for pulling it up.
I have always wondered about this and as far as I understand flexible tile adhesive is a very fine sand + portland cement + polymer + rapid or retarding agent. The Portland cement technical say that "sugar" retards cement setting and that "salt" makes it set faster. As far as the polymer additive goes I can only think of SBR from regular builders merchants. I asked both Mapei and BAL technical about their polymer additives but didnt get an answer.
Any ideas on the polymer or sugar and salt??? I would be very interested in your replies.
