In the production process of coatings, materials such as emulsions, dispersants, thickeners, leveling agents, wetting agents, and emulsifiers are actively used, causing the coatings to foam easily. Moreover, these bubbles have a stable and long-lasting effect. In particular, emulsifiers are added to water-based latex coatings, and the use of these emulsifiers can greatly reduce the … Continue reading
First, the reasons for putty blistering 1. Uneven mixing. 2. Putty with too much water, mix too wet. 3. The moisture content of the base is too high, while the density is too large or too small. Due to containing abundant voids. Putty with high water content, and thus impermeable, easy to make the construction … Continue reading
In the field of dry-mixed mortar for modern construction, stable performance, easy construction, and durability have become basic requirements. The reasonable combination of HPMC and redispersible polymer powder (RDP) is increasingly recognized by industry professionals. Both have their own specialties, and when used together, their effects are doubled, becoming the “golden combination” in the formulation … Continue reading
During production or use, foam often acts as a “roadblock” that affects product quality and efficiency. Currently, foam is a common challenge across all industrial products and the food industry. However, there is no need to worry excessively, as foam inhibitors are specifically designed to eliminate foam. Today, we will share the four main types … Continue reading

Crack-resistant mortar Crack-resistant mortar is a mortar made from a crack-resistant agent made from polymer emulsion and additives, cement, and sand mixed with water in a certain ratio to meet certain deformation requirements and prevent cracking. Features The mortar waterproof layer is corrosion-resistant and alkali-resistant, which can prevent surface damage caused by weather conditions. The … Continue reading
1. Do you understand the importance of the “open window period” in construction? In floor construction, the “open time” of self-leveling mortar is one of the key indicators determining the overall construction quality. The open time refers to the time window during which the material maintains good construction fluidity after mixing. If the open time … Continue reading
