Industry news on dry-mix mortar, concrete, cellulose ether, and more; company news; raw material news; and other updates.
Water Retention of Cellulose Ether Water retention is an important property of cellulose ether, and it is also a concern of many domestic drymix mortar manufacturers, especially those in the south area with high temperature. Factors that affects the water retention effect of the mortar include the amount of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, the viscosity of … Continue reading
The Superiority of Dry Mortar As a substitute for traditional mortar, dry mortar has many advantages. Construction Quality is Easy to Guarantee Different kinds of mortars such as masonry mortar, plastering mortar, ground mortar, block special mortar, etc, have different requirements for special properties such as anti-shrinkage, crack resistance, heat preservation and moisture resistance, … Continue reading
Development Trend of Drymix Powder Mortar in China At the end of the 20th century, China began to introduce Drymix powder mortar technology from abroad, and combined with the source of domestic raw materials, adjusted the formulation of a variety of Drymix powder mortars for different purposes, and achieved results in application of the … Continue reading

Plastering is a process by which coarse surfaces of wall or ceiling roofs are changed or turned or rendered to provide smoothness. In the beginning, wet materials are spread over the block or brickworks and then suitable equipment is used to make the surface smooth level. The prime purpose of plastering is to obtain a … Continue reading
Putty is a thin layer of leveling mortar that can be divided into single-component putty (paste and dry powder) and two-component putty (consisting of powder and liquid) according to its finished form. Dry mortar putty uses organic polymer or inorganic chemicals as bonding agent, and additives such as cellulose ether, thixotropic agent, hydrophobic agent, and … Continue reading
The development of dry mortar has changed many times since its inception. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the dry powder mortar factory in Europe adopted a horizontal process, which arranged the raw material warehouse one by one on the ground. The raw materials were first stored in the silos through the lifting equipment, and … Continue reading
Basic Situation of European Dry Mortar In the 1950s and 1960s in Europe, especially in Germany, the demand for the new building materials and technologies in the construction industry grew rapidly, but due to labor shortage at that time(especially the lack of experienced skilled workers), labor costs were very expensive. The construction period has … Continue reading
1. Introduction Factory-made mortars have been mostly implemented as masonry renderings, fixing tiles, self-levelling floors and so on. When mortar is applied on substrate, water may be absorbed by the substrate. This phenomenon can induce insufficient hydration of cement, and thus decrease mechanical properties of the mortar. Water retention capacity of a mortar is thus … Continue reading
A cement mortar dry mix essentially comprises of cement, aggregates, resin and a hardener in a single mixture. The hardener is generally present as the reaction product of the hardener with either an organic acid or a functional derivative of it. Dry mix mortar technology is gaining predominant recognition in Europe due to its efficiency … Continue reading
