On construction sites, there are two common base layers: brick walls and concrete walls. Bubbling typically occurs on concrete walls, primarily due to numerous through-pores present in the concrete surface. Therefore, to resolve bubbling when applying wall putty/gypsum, we must seal these through-pores. 1. Sealing Substrate Pores The most common method is applying a primer … Continue reading
The Key to Paint Thickening: HPMC Application Analysis in Coatings In construction and decoration, paint must not only look good but also ensure ease of application and uniform film formation. However, coatings often face two challenges during use: Insufficient viscosity → Prone to splattering and sagging during application, resulting in poor workability; Poor leveling → Brush marks … Continue reading
In the vibrant world of building and construction, the choice of products and chemical agents can make or damage a job’s success. Amongst these vital choices, choosing the Water-Based Release agent for concrete applications has become a game-changer. As sectors focus on sustainability, cost efficiency, and safety, the shift from standard oil-based release agents to … Continue reading
Performance characteristics: When mortar exhibits poor thickness consistency, sagging during application, difficulty in scraping off, or tile slippage during installation, these are all indications of poor slip resistance/sag resistance of the tile adhesive. Testing methods: (1)Ensure that the edge of the steel straightedge is placed at the top of the concrete panel. When the concrete … Continue reading
The weather resistance of waterproof mortar The weather resistance of waterproof mortar is a critical performance indicator in practical applications. Enhancing this resistance helps the mortar withstand climate erosion, extend building service life, improve reliability and durability in complex environments, and reduce long-term maintenance costs. To improve the weather resistance of waterproof mortar, we offer … Continue reading
Dry-mix mortar is widely used in modern construction, from masonry and plastering to tile laying and self-leveling floors. However, in practical applications, dry-mix mortar often faces the following issues: Insufficient water retention → leading to premature moisture loss in the mortar and reduced bonding strength; Poor workability → Difficult to apply, requiring extra effort for … Continue reading
1.What is a Concrete Foaming Agent and a Concrete Defifier Agent? In the world of concrete construction, two additives often spark confusion: Concrete Foaming Agent and Concrete Defoamer Agent. While both influence the air content in concrete, their roles are fundamentally opposite. A Concrete Foaming Agent is a substance designed to intentionally introduce air bubbles … Continue reading

Waterproof mortar crack resistance While ensuring the density of waterproof mortar, its crack resistance cannot be ignored. This will ensure better and longer-lasting waterproofing, as cracks make it easier for water to seep through. How can this be improved? 1.Latex powder Add an appropriate amount of high-quality latex powder to improve the flexibility and deformation … Continue reading
