The primer improves the adhesion of the self-leveling compound The self-leveling primer is part of the ground base treatment and is an essential item in the self-leveling construction. It is very important and directly affects the adhesion between the self-leveling compound and the base ground. The amount of primer used is actually relatively small, and […]
1. Cellulose ether has a certain retarding effect on mortar. As the dosage of cellulose ether increases, the setting time of the mortar is extended. The retarding effect of cellulose ether on cement slurry mainly depends on the degree of substitution of the alkyl group. The smaller the degree of substitution of the alkyl group […]
According to a new study published by Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence, the tartaric acid market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.34% between 2025 and 2030 to reach US$419.490 billion in 2030. Tartaric acid plays a very significant role in different sectors as a naturally occurring organic acid. It is found predominantly in grapes and some […]
In the field of construction engineering, concrete is a widely used building material, and its performance is directly related to the safety and durability of the entire building structure. However, in cold regions or during winter construction, concrete frost damage often occurs, causing many problems in construction. A deeper understanding of the causes of concrete […]
CPCA’s Canadian Coatings Conference will be held May 21-23, 2025 at the Marriott Halifax Harbour Front. The Canadian Coatings Conference is the leading source for addressing regulatory developments impacting the Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers (CASE) industry in Canada. Hosted by the Canadian Paint and Coatings Association (CPCA) with a strong mandate to advocate for fair regulations that […]
As the understanding of foam stability factors continues to grow, so does the understanding of the defoaming mechanism. Foam stability factors are diverse, and so are the defoaming mechanisms. Reducing local surface tensionSome people have studied the defoaming process of polysiloxane in oily systems: the silicone oil defoamer droplets reach the bubble film, causing the […]
Imagine if we could build new buildings using renewable concrete bricks. Although it may not be immediately obvious, the construction industry is actually one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, which are gradually causing global temperatures to rise. However, a new technology that will be publicly available for the first time in 2021 […]
In the construction industry, concrete is widely used in various engineering structures and plays a pivotal role. The stability of its performance and the reliability of the construction quality are directly related to the safety performance and service life of the building. However, during the actual construction process, a headache problem often occurs, that is, […]
Calcium Formate prices across the APAC region maintained stability amidst weak demand from the downstream cement and concrete sectors and limited cost support from feedstock formic acid. This sluggish demand was reflected in key markets, such as China, where the struggling real estate sector continued to hinder construction activity, while India’s construction sector faced intensified challenges due […]
In general, the viscosity stability of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose depends on the degree of substitution and the evenness of the degree of substitution. It swells in cold water to form a clear or slightly turbid colloidal solution. The aqueous solution has surface activity and forms a film after drying, which is highly transparent and stable.It […]
