During construction, mortar often loses water too quickly, and does not have enough time and moisture to undergo a hydration reaction, resulting in insufficient strength and cracking in the hardened cement slurry. Cellulose ether is a common polymer admixture in dry-mix mortar. It has the functions of water retention, thickening, retardation and air entrainment, and […]

The report employs Porter’s Five Forces model to assess key factors such as the influence of suppliers and customers, risks posed by different entities, competitive […]
Causes of foam formation Water-based paints are not pure liquids; they are colloidal dispersions of particles (pigments, resins) in a carrier (water). One of the key factors in the stability of air bubbles in paints is surfactants, as it is they that hold all the different ingredients together and prevent them from separating or settling. […]
PPG announces comprehensive cost reduction program. PPG has reached a definitive agreement to sell 100% of its architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada at a transaction value of $550 million to American Industrial Partners (AIP), an industrials investor.

In the production process of paints, materials such as emulsions, dispersants, thickeners, leveling agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, etc. are actively used, causing the paint to be prone to foaming. Moreover, these bubbles have a stable and long-lasting effect. In particular, emulsifiers are added to water-based latex paints, and the use of these emulsifiers can greatly […]

Asia accounts for the bulk of global marine coating market due to the concentration of ship building industry in Japan, South Korea and China. The marine coating market in Asian countries has been dominated by established ship-building powerhouses such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and China. During the last 15 years, growth in the shipbuilding […]
Cement has a rapid early strength gain and a slow late strength gain. If the temperature and humidity are suitable, its strength can still slowly increase after a few years or more than ten years. Calcium formate can be used to solve the problem of cement setting and hardening. Setting time is one of the […]
“Bright futures begin lead free” The World Coatings Council (WCC) supports the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week of Action, Oct. 20-26, 2024. During the campaign week, the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint (Lead Paint Alliance or LPA) reminds governments, civil society organizations, health partners, industry and others of the unacceptable risks of lead […]
Calcium formate is a common early strength agent for improving the early strength of cement. It is widely used in dry powder mortar and has the performance of accelerating hydration and improving the early strength of mortar. Especially at low temperatures, calcium formate can significantly improve the early strength of mortar. 1. How to distinguish […]
