Waterproof mortar crack resistance While ensuring the density of waterproof mortar, its crack resistance cannot be ignored. This will ensure better and longer-lasting waterproofing, as cracks make it easier for water to seep through. How can this be improved? 1.Latex powder Add an appropriate amount of high-quality latex powder to improve the flexibility and deformation […]
It is an additive that reduces the hydration rate of gypsum and prolongs the setting time. It is mainly used in gypsum building materials such as plastering gypsum, adhesive gypsum, gypsum wall putty, and gypsum products. There are three main types of commonly used retarders: organic acids and their soluble salts, alkaline phosphates, and protein-based […]
Expands into electrical insulation and automotive engine coatings. NCP Coatings LLC, a leading manufacturer of industrial and military coatings, announces it has acquired Glyptal Inc., a manufacturer of high-performance insulating enamel technologies serving the electrical and automotive markets. This marks NCP’s first acquisition since becoming private equity backed. It supports the company’s long-term strategy to […]
In modern architectural coating systems, HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) has become an indispensable key additive. Many people still view it solely as a “thickening agent,” but in reality, HPMC’s functions extend far beyond this. Thickening — The “Scaffolding” for Stabilizing Coating Systems HPMC’s most well-known function is thickening. By forming a network structure, it significantly enhances […]
Bubbling after wall putty application is a common problem. It can be effectively solved by identifying the cause and taking targeted measures. The following are specific solutions: 1. First, identify the cause of the bubbling • Improper base treatment: oil stains and dust on the wall have not been cleaned, or the base is damp […]

In the production process of coatings, materials such as emulsions, dispersants, thickeners, leveling agents, wetting agents, and emulsifiers are actively used, causing the coatings to foam easily. Moreover, these bubbles have a stable and long-lasting effect. In particular, emulsifiers are added to water-based latex coatings, and the use of these emulsifiers can greatly reduce the […]
First, the reasons for putty blistering 1. Uneven mixing. 2. Putty with too much water, mix too wet. 3. The moisture content of the base is too high, while the density is too large or too small. Due to containing abundant voids. Putty with high water content, and thus impermeable, easy to make the construction […]
In the field of dry-mixed mortar for modern construction, stable performance, easy construction, and durability have become basic requirements. The reasonable combination of HPMC and redispersible polymer powder (RDP) is increasingly recognized by industry professionals. Both have their own specialties, and when used together, their effects are doubled, becoming the “golden combination” in the formulation […]
During production or use, foam is often a “stumbling block” that affects product quality and efficiency. Currently, all industrial products and the food industry encounter the problem of foam. However, there is no need to worry too much, as defoamers are designed to eliminate foam. Today, we will share four commonly used types of water-based […]
