Product Description

Birla White Tilestix Intero Grip+ (TX2) is a high-performance, polymer-modified white cement-based tile adhesive purpose-built for interior tiling applications in residential and commercial spaces. Backed by Birla White's trusted White Cement Advantage, it combines advanced polymer modification with proprietary Grip+ anti-sag technology — ensuring tiles stay firmly in place on vertical wall surfaces without slipping during the critical setting window.

The TX2 variant is the go-to adhesive for tile-on-tile renovation projects — eliminating the costly and time-consuming process of chipping away existing flooring before relaying. Whether refreshing a bathroom, upgrading a kitchen backsplash, or re-tiling a living room floor without demolition, Birla White Tilestix TX2 delivers the bond strength and flexibility needed for a lasting, professional result in Bangalore's varied construction conditions.

Its white cement base ensures no dark shadow or ghosting bleeds through light-coloured, pastel, or translucent ceramic tiles — preserving the tile's true aesthetic from the substrate up. With a generous 20-minute open time for precise tile placement and adjustment, TX2 is equally favoured by professional tiling contractors and experienced DIY renovators across Bangalore.

Recommended Applications

• Tile-on-Tile Renovation: Specially formulated to bond new tiles directly over existing old tiles — no chipping, no demolition, no debris; ideal for Bangalore renovation projects minimising downtime
• Interior Wall Tiling: Grip+ anti-sag technology prevents tile slippage on vertical surfaces during installation — essential for bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, and feature walls
• Interior Floor Tiling: Durable, flexible bond that handles daily foot traffic in homes, apartments, offices, and retail spaces
• Ceramic Tile Fixing: Excellent adhesion for all standard ceramic tile sizes on interior floors and walls
• Semi-Vitrified Tile Fixing: High bond strength suitable for low-to-medium porosity semi-vitrified tiles in residential and commercial interiors
• Light-Coloured & Translucent Tiles: White cement base prevents dark shadows or ghosting bleed-through — preserving the true colour of white, pastel, and light-toned tiles

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What makes Birla White Tilestix TX2 different from standard tile adhesives?

TX2 (Intero Grip+) is a higher polymer-content, white cement-based adhesive with three key advantages over standard grey adhesives: (1) Grip+ anti-sag technology prevents tiles from sliding on walls during installation; (2) tile-on-tile capability eliminates the need to chip existing flooring during renovation; and (3) the white cement base prevents colour ghosting behind light-toned tiles — none of which standard grey adhesives can offer.

2) Can Birla White Tilestix TX2 be used for tile-on-tile renovation?

Yes — tile-on-tile is the TX2's signature application. It is specifically formulated to bond new ceramic or semi-vitrified tiles directly over existing, firmly-bonded old tiles, saving significant time, labour cost, and demolition waste. Ensure all existing tiles are well-bonded with no hollow spots before proceeding.

3) Is Tilestix TX2 suitable for outdoor or balcony tiling?

No. Tilestix Intero Grip+ (TX2) is designed exclusively for interior applications. For exterior areas including balconies, terraces, and outdoor floors, use the Birla White Extero range or a suitable exterior-grade tile adhesive that can withstand UV exposure and thermal cycling.

4) Can I use TX2 for large-format or fully vitrified tiles?

TX2 performs well for ceramic and semi-vitrified tiles in standard interior sizes. For large-format tiles (600×600 mm and above) or fully vitrified tiles, the Birla White Vitribind series is recommended for maximum bond strength and full coverage on low-porosity vitrified surfaces.

5) Why does the white cement base matter for tile adhesives?

The white cement base provides a neutral, bright substrate that will not bleed through or create dark "ghosting" shadows behind light-coloured, pastel, or semi-translucent ceramic tiles. Grey adhesives — especially under thin or light tiles — can visibly affect the tile's final colour and finish. White adhesive ensures the tile looks exactly as intended.

6) Do I need to soak tiles before fixing with TX2?

No — unlike traditional sand-cement mortar bedding, Birla White Tilestix TX2 does not require tile soaking. Simply ensure tiles are clean, dry, and free from dust or release agents before pressing into the adhesive bed.

7) What is the coverage of one 20 kg bag?

One 20 kg bag covers approximately 55–60 sq. ft. at a 3 mm bed thickness. Coverage varies based on substrate flatness, tile size, and the notch size of the trowel used. Larger tiles or uneven substrates will reduce coverage — always purchase 10% extra to account for wastage on site.

8) How long before I can grout or walk on the tiles after fixing?

The tiled surface is typically ready for grouting and light foot traffic after 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. In Bangalore's warmer months, curing is generally faster; during heavy monsoon humidity, allow additional time — especially for large tiles or thick adhesive beds — before grouting.
