The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of five different redispersible polymer powders (RDPs) on the tensile strength (adhesion in a multi-layer system) of ceramic tile adhesive mortars (CTAs) containing only calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) as a binder. The results show that the addition of RDPs to CSA-based mortar results in an increase in tensile strength determined as initial adhesion and as adhesion after thermal aging. In the case of tensile strength tested after immersion of the samples in water, different effects were observed depending on the RDPs used. Regardless of the redispersible polymer powder used, a reduction in tensile strength was noticeable for samples tested after freeze-thaw cycles. The study showed that it is possible to develop a CSA- -based ceramic tile adhesive using redispersible polymer powders for indoor use. The research challenge, related to freeze- -thaw resistance, is to develop a CTA for outdoor applications.
