I am trying to remove old tile cement in order to reuse the tiles. is there a product on the market?
Question:
Answers:
Depends of type of "cement"
a "mastic" could be softened by soaking. You may have to do a lot of scraping once they are done soaking and you'll need to rinse them before the gooey mess dries again.
a thinset mortar could be chipped off or ground off. I'd set up a work station to hold the tile on four edges and try chipping with a hammer and chisel. If that isn't working you could grind off the bulk of the material.
Good luck, either way is not the easiest.
