Isn't tile glue and cement the same substance?

Cement, namely cement slurry, is a plastic mixture of cement and water. Cement mortar is a mixture of cement, sand and water. Ceramic tile adhesive is a one-component or multi-component mixture composed of cementitious materials, mineral aggregates and organic additives, which is used to bond ceramic walls and tiles. Ceramic tile glue is an upgraded product of cement paving materials. On the basis of cement materials, special additives are added, setting time is adjusted, adhesion and water retention are improved, anti-sliding ability is improved, and shrinkage of cement is offset.

Ceramic tile adhesive is a finished product with specific functions that meets certain industry standards. The traditional on-site mixing cement mortar is a hand-made product controlled by on-site construction personnel according to their experience. The quality evaluation of tile adhesive is clear and objective, the product source is fixed, and the quality claim conforms to the general commodity rules. However, in-situ mixing cement mortar relies heavily on personal experience, and the products are random, so it is difficult to reproduce, and it is impossible to make quality claims in reality. Tile glue was born with modern, diversified and industrialized tile products, and it is a supporting industrialized product to solve the complexity of modern materials, substrates and tiles, modern architectural forms and tile construction. In-situ mixing mortar is a simple material in the last era, and it is the basic auxiliary material for single building and simple paste construction. The scientific and technological support behind tile glue is the result of a series of sustainable development research such as material science, manufacturing technology, construction technology, low-carbon technology and life cycle assessment. The most basic traditional mode of traditional on-site mixing mortar is "demand-try or experience-meet or not meet".
