| Abstract | The objective of this study was to apply design of response surface methodology and optimization of tile adhesive dry mortar formulations by using statistical mixture design with boundary restriction on the contents which are ordinary Portland cement, 20.00-48.90%; natural sand, 50.00-78.90%; redispersible polymer powder, 1.00¬10.00%; cellulose, 0.01-0.05%. Tile adhesive properties, tensile adhesion strength at different curing condition were in accordance with European Standard EN-1346 and EN -1348 requirement. Based on the results of a minimum of seventeen design points, the prediction equations model can be established. This was supported by the comparison of the calculated and tested tensile adhesion strengths. The optimum tile adhesive is defmed be setting minimizes cost while meeting specified performance criteria, using numerical optimization (desirability function). The results suggested that the selected formulation had higher area than the commercial tile adhesive. The mechanical properties study showed no significant difference between the optimized formulation and the commercial tile adhesive. Optimum proportions content of ordinary Portland cement, sand, redispersible polymer powder, and cellulose ether were found to be 46.73%, 50.00%, 3.15%, and 0.13%, respectively at cost 6,103.73 Bahttron. Statistical mixture design and analysis of experiments were used as good tools to obtain the optimal formulation and to develop tile adhesive dry mortars, which showed quit good results, and that also met all specify requirement. |
