Cemedine Tile Ace JS – Joint Sealant – 10oz Cartridge

CEMEDINE TILE ACE JS is a high-performance, one-component, moisture-curing adhesive and joint sealant engineered with advanced KANEKA MS POLYMER® technology. This versatile product is specifically designed for the secure bonding and sealing of waterproof membranes, backer board seams, and tub surrounds. It provides a reliable, watertight seal and bond prior to the installation of decorative substrates on walls, making it an essential component for professional-grade interior and exterior waterproofing projects.

Key Features & Benefits

• Ready-to-Use Formula: A one-component system that requires no mixing and is ready for immediate application.
• Eco-Friendly & Safe: Solvent-free with ultra-low VOC content (<0.1%) and very low odor, ensuring a safer environment for indoor applications.
• Exceptional Versatility: Suitable for both interior and exterior use on a wide variety of substrates.
• High Performance Bonding: Demonstrates excellent durability, adhesion, and sealing properties.
• Superior Flexibility: Features an elongation at break of 650%, allowing the joint to withstand significant movement.
• Rapid Processing: Quick-drying formula with a skin-over time of approximately 60 minutes and a 3mm cure depth within 24 hours.

Advantages Over Traditional Caulking Sealants

TILE ACE JS offers several critical advantages over standard silicone or acrylic caulks by utilizing MS Polymer technology:

• Enhanced Substrate Compatibility: Unlike many traditional sealants that struggle with plastics or certain metals, TILE ACE JS achieves "Cohesive Failure" (the strongest bond type) on difficult surfaces like PVC, polycarbonate, ABS, stainless steel, and anodized aluminum.
• Environmental & User Safety: Many traditional caulks release strong odors or high VOCs; TILE ACE JS is solvent-free and maintains a near-zero VOC profile (<0.1%).
• Superior Elasticity: With 650% elongation, this sealant provides better long-term resistance to cracking and joint movement than standard decorative caulks.
• Dual Functionality: While traditional caulk is primarily for sealing gaps, TILE ACE JS is formulated as both a high-strength adhesive and a sealant, allowing it to bond waterproof membranes and backer boards directly.
