SIDLEYCHEM has two senior engineers with over 20 years of construction experience. They are available to assist customers in resolving product issues and reducing their research and development expenses.
Pre-gelatinised Starch
Pre-gelatinized starch is a high-temperature modified starch that dissolves readily in cold water. It features high viscosity and excellent film-forming properties, commonly used as a binder in neutral wall putty. Offers strong adhesion, requires minimal dosage, and is cost-effective.
Thixotropic Agent
Thixotropic agents impart thixotropy, sag resistance, and lubricity to systems by forming lamellar network structures in aqueous media. Primarily used in mineral-based and paste-like systems, they enhance the workability of construction chemicals such as mortars, adhesives, and self-leveling compounds. This manifests as easier handling during application with reduced resistance, while maintaining high viscosity and stable particle retention when stationary.
Lithium Salt Coagulant
Lithium Salt Coagulant can serve as a cement coagulant accelerator, accelerating cement coagulation and shortening construction timelines.
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer
Polycarboxylic superplasticizer is a white powder primarily composed of polycarboxylate salts, exhibiting exceptional water-reducing properties. It is widely used in flowable mortars and gypsum systems.
Defoamer
Defoamers rapidly eliminate air bubbles generated during mortar mixing while simultaneously inhibiting bubble formation. This enhances the mortar's density and impermeability, thereby conferring greater strength and waterproofing properties upon the flowable mortar.
Foaming Agent
During the manufacturing process of paper-faced gypsum board, foaming agents enhance board strength, reduce bulk density, and improve physical properties by introducing fine air bubbles. Their performance significantly impacts gypsum board quality, making them a crucial additive in production.
Air-Entraining Agent
The D-series air-entraining agent is an anionic surfactant, also known as a wetting agent, primarily utilised within the construction industry. It serves as an air-entraining agent, wetting agent, and plasticiser for plastering materials such as cement and gypsum. This product enhances the smooth application and pumpability of the material, reduces shrinkage and cracking, and improves frost resistance.
Compound-Premix Additives
Compound-Premix Additives is a composite material with various additives pre-mixed, mainly used in the production of building mortar.
Silicone Hydrophobic Powder
A white powder composed of silica-based particles that repels water (hydrophobic) in mortar and forms a waterproof protective barrier on the mortar surface.
