From Type-2 to Type-3: How VBOND Gold Plus Raises the Bar in Tile Adhesives

 

In tile installation, performance is often decided long before the tile is laid. The choice of adhesive plays a critical role in durability, safety, and long-term finish - especially as tile sizes increase and application conditions become more demanding.

For years, Type-2 tile adhesives have been the industry’s go-to for standard interior applications. They offer dependable bonding for ceramic and vitrified tiles in controlled environments. However, evolving construction practices, larger tile formats, and higher expectations from applicators have highlighted the limitations of Type-2 systems, particularly in terms of flexibility, load resistance, and long-term performance.

This is where the shift to Type-3 adhesives becomes significant.

Type-3 adhesives are engineered to handle higher stress conditions. They provide improved bonding strength, better resistance to moisture, and greater tolerance to minor substrate movements. These qualities make them more suitable for modern installations where tiles are heavier, joints are narrower, and performance margins are tighter.

At VBOND, this shift has been thoughtfully addressed through VBOND Gold Plus. By upgrading Gold Plus from a Type-2 to a Type-3 adhesive, without Price Increase Burden, VBOND has raised the performance benchmark while keeping accessibility intact for retailers and applicators.

This upgrade brings tangible benefits on-site. Applicators experience stronger adhesion, smoother workability, and better confidence during installation, especially for vitrified tiles in interior floors, kitchens, and wash areas. The improved formulation also supports longer-lasting installations, reducing callbacks and maintenance concerns over time.

This was only possible because of our improved and advanced formula code-named “High Grip Polymer System,” a nano-based cross-polymer-based technology that has helped in upgrading the product without affecting the cost of the product.

What makes this transition meaningful is not just the technical upgrade, but the intent behind it. Instead of positioning Type-3 performance as a premium-only offering, VBOND has made higher standards part of everyday practice. This reflects a broader industry trend: moving from “good enough” solutions to materials that are future-ready.

As construction continues to evolve, such upgrades matter. They help professionals work smarter, deliver better results, and build trust with every project they complete.

In the journey from Type-2 to Type-3, VBOND Gold Plus represents more than a product upgrade - it signals a step forward in how tile adhesives are defined and delivered.
