In construction, plaster materials are widely used in plastering, wall leveling, and decorative coatings due to their environmental friendliness and light weight. However, one of the most common and headache-inducing problems at construction sites is hollow drums, delamination, and flaking. The underlying cause is often insufficient plaster adhesion and poor water retention. So, how can … Continue reading
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern construction, product science remains to redefine what’s possible. Concrete fiber innovation has emerged as a game-changer, providing services that balance strength, durability, and sustainability. As the worldwide need for resilient facilities expands, fiber-reinforced materials are ending up being essential tools for architects, engineers, and home builders. Whether it’s high-performance buildings or … Continue reading
Redispersible latex powder Redispersible latex powder is a spray-dried dispersion that forms a stable dispersion when added to water, with properties identical to the original emulsion. It is a commonly used dry powder mortar additive in putty. 1. The role of latex powder flexibility In the production of building paint putty powder, redispersible latex powder … Continue reading
According to a recent report from Bloomberg News, BASF SE is reaching out to potential buyers regarding selling its coatings business. The Bloomberg News report says that BASF has set a valuation of approximately €6 billion ($6.81 billion). BASF reported sales of $4.7 billion in 2023, making it the seventh largest international paint and coatings company in Coatings … Continue reading
Polycarboxylate is a synthetic organic polymer composed of long chains and carboxylate side groups. These functional groups have a strong affinity for the calcium ions present in the cement slurry, forming a protective layer around the cement particles. This mechanism can prevent clumping and allow cement particles to disperse better in water, thereby improving the … Continue reading
Polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is a commonly used concrete additive, which can effectively reduce the amount of cement in concrete, improve the fluidity of concrete and reduce the shrinkage of concrete. However, the use of polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent also needs to pay attention to some problems. The following is a detailed introduction to … Continue reading
Compared to aerated concrete block walls, lightweight foam partition walls offer lower overall construction costs. Currently, the unit price of lightweight partition walls (excluding plastering) is approximately 23% lower than that of aerated concrete block walls (including plastering), significantly reducing total construction costs. Foam lightweight concrete partition wall panels align more closely with green building … Continue reading
The worldwide defoamer market has actually witnessed an amazing surge in demand, driven by progressing commercial requirements and governing shifts. As manufacturers in various fields gradually overcome foam control barriers, from food processing to medicine, all industries gradually rely on anti-foaming agents to maintain operational efficiency. The recent report emphasizes that sales of defoamers can … Continue reading
Polycarboxylic Acid Water-Reducing Agents and Concrete Polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agents are surfactants with molecular structures containing two distinct functional groups: hydrophilic groups and hydrophobic groups. Under normal conditions, polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agents reduce interparticle forces by adsorbing onto the surfaces of cement particles, thereby increasing the flowability of concrete. However, another important function of polycarboxylic … Continue reading
Applications of Foam ConcreteFoam concrete, with its excellent properties, is widely used in energy-saving wall materials and has also found applications in other areas. Currently, the primary applications of foam concrete in China include the on-site casting of foam concrete insulation layers for roofs, foam concrete panels, foam concrete, lightweight wall panels, and foam concrete foundation … Continue reading
