India’s construction industry is entering a new phase of growth characterised by premiumisation, technological innovation, and higher performance expectations. Across residential, commercial, and institutional projects, developers and homeowners are increasingly looking beyond conventional building materials and embracing solutions that offer durability, efficiency, and long-term value.
One area where this evolution is becoming particularly visible is tile installation. The growing popularity of large-format tiles, engineered stone surfaces, and premium interior and exterior finishes has increased the need for installation systems capable of delivering superior performance under demanding conditions.
Traditionally, tile installation relied heavily on cement mortar and basic adhesives. However, modern projects often involve a wide range of substrates and environmental conditions that require more specialised solutions. As a result, advanced adhesive technologies are becoming an essential component of contemporary construction practices.
Responding to these changing requirements, Walplast Products Pvt. Ltd. has launched HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU, a two-component PU–epoxy hybrid tile adhesive developed to support the next generation of tile and stone installations.
The product is engineered to deliver strong bonding, high flexibility, and long-term durability across interior and exterior applications. Its compatibility with diverse substrates, including metal, drywall, plywood, and cementitious surfaces, makes it suitable for a broad range of construction environments.
The launch reflects a broader industry trend where building material manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development to create products that solve real-world construction challenges.
Kaushal Mehta, Managing Director, Walplast Products Pvt. Ltd., said,
“At Walplast, innovation is driven by a deep understanding of evolving construction needs and customer expectations. The launch of HomeSure TileEx EX-566 PU reflects our commitment to bringing advanced, high-performance solutions to the market while strengthening the HomeSure portfolio. As the construction industry increasingly adopts premium materials and modern installation practices, we remain focused on delivering products that enhance quality, durability, and long-term value for builders, contractors, channel partners, and homeowners.”
A key feature of the product is its ability to deliver high deformability of over 30 mm, making it particularly effective in installations where movement, substrate variation, or environmental stress can impact long-term performance. Combined with extended open time and longer pot life, the adhesive offers installers greater control and precision during application.
The product’s development was driven by Walplast’s commitment to creating technology-led solutions that support the evolving needs of the construction ecosystem.
The launch adds another milestone to Walplast’s growing HomeSure portfolio, which today includes wall putty, tile adhesives, construction chemicals, admixtures, gypsum-based products, paints, and textures. Backed by an extensive distribution network and a strong focus on innovation, the company continues to strengthen its position within India’s building materials sector.
As the industry moves towards higher quality standards and more complex construction requirements, advanced materials such as PU–epoxy hybrid adhesives are expected to become indispensable. Their ability to enhance performance, improve installation efficiency, and support long-term durability will make them a critical component of India’s future construction landscape.
