According to the activity of fine filler used in dry mix mortar, it can be divided into two kinds- active filler and inert filler. The active filler is made from natural mineral material or industrial waste residue, which can be directly used or pre-milled. It is a kind of fine powder material directly mixed into … Continue reading
Different dry powder mortar products require different performance requirements and require dispersible polymer powder to provide suitable performance. The following focuses on the role of dispersible polymer powder in tile adhesives and mortars for exterior wall insulation polystyrene board, and briefly describes the role of redispersible powders in various major dry mortar products. Application of … Continue reading
Skim coating is a texturing technique used to make a wall smooth. Drywallers use this technique to hide an imperfect taping job, to give the wall a plaster-like appearance and in situations when only the smoothest surface will do. Skim coating is the only way to achieve a level 5 drywall finish, which a number … Continue reading
In the construction industry, the transformation of construction technology is based on the innovation of building materials. In recent years, polymer-modified dry mortar has shown a booming development in China. One of the outstanding examples is the emergence of polymer-modified dry powder tile adhesives, which is transforming the tile inlay process from the traditional thick … Continue reading
Starch ether is one of the most prolific natural polymers, and is composed of amylose and amylopectin. Amylopectin molecules are much larger than amylase. Starch ethers are chemically modified from starch. Potato starch, which is of high-purity, is the preferred amylase for building. Starch molecular weight and the degree of etherification determine the consistency and … Continue reading
HPS (short for hydroxypropyl starch ether) enables cement- and gypsum-based products with distinctive qualities. Similar to Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose(HPMC) in the chemical structure, it can not only provide functions similar to cellulose, but also have very good compatibility with other additives in building. starch ether has a very small amount used in mortar products, and a … Continue reading
The effect of fresh mortar: The effect of hardened mortar; The specific process of polymer application in adhesive: One of the most important applications of polymer-modified cement mortar is the application of thin-layer construction methods to tile. The specific process is as follows: the dry powder adhesive with the package is mixed with water on … Continue reading
Drymix mortar for thin layer tiling has often to meet various technical requirements, such as good performance, good water retention, long open and adjustment time at high temperature, and good anti-sliding properties, etc. On the basis of the base to be tiled(such as concrete surface, brick structure, lime-cement plastering primer, plaster, wood, old tile surface, … Continue reading
Dry-mixed mortar or dry mortar is made of cement, sand, mineral and functional additives, mixing together proportionally. It is often in powder or granule form pre-mixed in special factory and transported to construction site. After stirring with adequate amount of water, it can be used directly. There are usually two kinds of dry mortars- normal type … Continue reading
