1. Liquid polymer The liquid polymers used for modification in cement mortar and cement concrete include epoxy resin and unsaturated polyester, and a curing agent is added when mixing with cement. Using liquid polymers to modify cement mortars and concrete must use systems that cure in the presence of water. After the polymer is mixed […]

Various additives are used in the components of commercial mortar products, cementitious materials, and aggregates. Additives are essential components in commercial mortar products, which can affect the mixing and construction of mortar and the quality of mortar—various properties after hardening. The dosage of these additives is generally about 0.01% to 10% (referring to the mass […]

Commercial mortar is different from concrete as a structural material. In addition to the necessary strength (except for ground mortar, the general requirements for its strength are not high), the main conditions are to meet water retention, bonding, waterproofing, crack resistance, impact resistance, and anti-corrosion. In terms of freeze-thaw, high-temperature resistance, thermal insulation, and other […]

Mortar refers to construction engineering material prepared proportionally by cementitious material, granular fine aggregate, mineral admixture, water, and various additives as required. Commercial mortar refers to a granular or powdery mixture produced by a specialized manufacturer that has been dried and sieved with fine aggregate and cementitious materials, mineral admixtures, and various mortar additives in […]

Polyvinyl alcohol powder has been widely used as a water-soluble film-forming adhesive substance in some dry-mixed mortar products in recent years, especially with the emergence of powdered polyvinyl alcohol products, which provides a relatively good bonding material for powder and paste putty. Although polyvinyl alcohol powder can be added to dry mortar products like Redispersible Polymer […]

2023 will be a crucial year for the built environment in Europe with the publication by the European Commission of the Construction Ecosystem Transition Pathway and the Whole life Carbon Roadmap. This is why the four European associations representing the concrete sector and its value chain – BIBM (the Federation of the European Precast Concrete […]

This is a powder-defoaming agent specially designed for dry-mixed mortar products. It has a similar function to the liquid defoaming agent used in latex paint, and it plays the role of defoaming and foam suppression in dry-mixed mortar. A dry powder defoaming agent is a non-ionic surfactant widely used in neutral and alkaline systems and […]

India also revealed its plans to build nine new airports to meet rising air traffic India will build nine new ‘greenfield’ airports to meet the steep rise in domestic and international air passenger traffic, reported Wam, citing a senior minister. In addition, 41 existing airports in India are being upgraded with state-of-the-art infrastructure and new […]

The trend in the precast concrete industry is increasingly towards slender and resource-optimized components. One reason for this is the growing awareness of sustainable concrete construction and the demand for CO2 savings across the various industry sectors involved. This trend is forcing us to rethink, not only in terms of material selection, but also in […]

In recent years, the scope of gypsum application in construction projects has become broader, and the amount of use is increasing. Gypsum-based has become the main product of dry-mixed mortar. For example, as an interior wall plastering material, plaster has the functions of lightweight, fire prevention, sound insulation, heat preservation, and sound absorption, and it is the […]
