Often called tile bond, tile glue, or tile adhesive — whatever you search for it as, Sika Ceram-90 tile bond is the same thing: a cement-based, polymer-modified adhesive built to hold tiles in place permanently, without the cracking or "hollow sound" you get from old-style cement-and-sand fixing. Sika not only produces one of the best tile bonds in Pakistan but it is considered as one of the most renowned names in the world in tile bonding or tile glue adhesives. It's a genuine Sika bond, formulated specifically to perform in hot, tropical climates like Pakistan's — which matters, because ordinary mortar tends to lose grip as tiles expand and contract under direct sun.

If you're comparing the best bond for tiles in Pakistan for a mixed job — say, ceramic tiles plus a natural stone feature wall — Ceram-90 is formulated to handle all of them with one product, rather than switching different tile adhesives per surface.

How are tiles fixed with Sika Ceram 90

1. Prepare the surface — clean, sound, and free of dust, oil, or loose material.

2. Mix the tile bond powder with water to a smooth, lump-free paste, following the ratio on the bag.

3. Spread tile bonding evenly using a notched trowel for tile fixing.

4. Lay the tiles within the working time (typically 20-30 minutes) and press/tap firmly so each tile beds fully into the tile adhesive — this is what prevents hollow spots and future tile-pop.

5. Let it cure fully (per the pack instructions) before grouting.

No special equipment needed beyond a trowel and a mixing bucket — this is a standard part of any tile fixing job.

Why Sika Ceram-90

• Strong tile bond — holds tiles firmly even under foot traffic or wall stress, so tiles don't pop off later

• Flexible formula — moves with thermal expansion instead of cracking, which matters through Pakistan's summers

• Non-shrink, water-resistant — won't pull away from the substrate as it dries, and holds up in damp areas

• Works across tile types — ceramic, vitrified, mosaic, and natural stone, walls or floors

• Genuine Sika product — sourced directly from Sika by GharPlans, an official Sika distributor

Mixing Instructions

• For a 20 kg bag, add approximately 4.8–5.2 litres of clean, cold water into a suitable mixing container.

• Gradually add SikaCeram 90 PK powder while mixing.

• Mix for at least 3 minutes until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved.

• For small quantities, mix with a hand trowel. For larger volumes, use a slow-speed drill

• Do not add extra water or any other ingredients after mixing.

Application Instructions

• Apply Sika Ceram 90 PK directly onto the prepared concrete substrate at a thickness of 2–3 mm.

• Spread the tile adhesive or tile bond evenly using a notched trowel.

• Use V-notched trowels for smaller tiles and square-notched trowels for larger tiles.

• Cover only the area that can be tiled within 30 minutes.

• Firmly press tiles into the fresh adhesive using a slight twisting motion to achieve optimum adhesion.

Don't Want to Do It Yourself?

Buying the tile bond is half the job — the fixing itself is where most tiling problems (uneven lines, hollow spots, tiles popping later) actually happen. GP also offers a professional tile fixing service if you'd rather have it installed correctly the first time.

FAQs

What is the price of Sika tile bond (Ceram-90) in Pakistan?

Price depends on pack size — see the current price above, or message us on WhatsApp for bulk/project rates.

Do I really need tile bond, or can I just use cement and sand?

Cement-sand mortar can work for basic floor tiles, but it weakens over time. A proper tile bond grips better and resists cracking and tile-pop — especially important for wall tiles, heavier vitrified/porcelain tiles, and natural stone, where gravity and thermal movement work against a weak bond.

Can Sika Ceram-90 be used for both walls and floors, indoors and outdoors?

Yes — it's suitable for walls and floors, indoors and outdoors, and is formulated to keep its bond in Pakistan's hot climate.

What is the shelf life of this product?

Sika Ceram 90 has a minimum shelf life of 6 months from the date of manufacture.

What is the appearance of this product?

Its appearance is a grey powder.

What is the packaging for this product?

Sika Ceram 90 is available in 20 kg and 40 kg bag packaging.
