India’s construction landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by the growing demand for premium residential developments, commercial complexes, hospitality projects, and modern infrastructure that combine aesthetics with long-term performance. Larger tile formats, natural stone finishes, and diverse surface materials are becoming increasingly common across both interior and exterior applications, creating new installation requirements for builders, architects, contractors, and applicators.
The demands of modern construction extend beyond simply fixing tiles in place. Today’s installations require adhesives that deliver excellent adhesion, accommodate substrate movement through high flexibility, withstand water, chemicals, and solvents, and perform reliably across a wide range of substrates and environmental conditions. As a result, advanced tile adhesives have become a critical component in ensuring long-term installation performance, durability, and finish quality.

Recognising these evolving requirements, Walplast Products Pvt. Ltd. has introduced HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU, a next-generation two-component PU–epoxy hybrid tile adhesive engineered for demanding interior and exterior wall and floor applications. Designed to bond effectively across a wide range of substrates, including cementitious surfaces, metal, drywall, plywood, and both absorbing and non-absorbing surfaces, the adhesive combines excellent adhesion strength, high deformability, extended open time and pot life, along with superior resistance to water, chemicals, and solvents, making it ideal for modern tile and stone installations.
The launch comes at a time when architects and developers are increasingly specifying large-format tiles and premium surface finishes across residential, commercial, hospitality, and institutional projects. These applications require installation materials capable of accommodating structural movement, varying climatic conditions, and diverse substrate types while maintaining a strong and durable bond throughout the lifecycle of the project.
Kaushal Mehta, Managing Director, Walplast Products Pvt. Ltd., said:
“Modern construction demands more from every component of the building system, including the materials that remain unseen after installation. As larger tile formats, premium finishes, and diverse substrates become increasingly common, the role of advanced tile adhesives has never been more important. HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU embodies our commitment to delivering globally benchmarked technology that enhances installation quality, durability, and long-term performance across both interior and exterior applications”
Along with performance, productivity on site has become equally important. HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU offers an extended open time and longer pot life, allowing contractors and applicators greater flexibility during tile placement and adjustment. This not only improves installation accuracy but also helps minimise material wastage and enhance overall project efficiency.
The technology behind the product is equally significant. PU–epoxy hybrid formulations combine the strengths of polyurethane and epoxy systems, delivering enhanced adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to demanding environmental conditions.
The launch further strengthens Walplast’s HomeSure portfolio, which spans wall putty, tile adhesives, construction chemicals, admixtures, gypsum products, paints, textures, and allied building solutions. As India’s construction industry continues to adopt larger tile formats, premium finishes, and advanced building materials, the role of high-performance tile adhesives will continue to grow in ensuring durability, reliability, and superior installation quality.
For builders, contractors, architects, and homeowners alike, the future of tile installation is no longer just about aesthetics, it is equally about the technology beneath the surface that delivers lasting strength, performance, and confidence.
