Redispersible latex powder Redispersible latex powder is a spray-dried dispersion that forms a stable dispersion when added to water, with properties identical to the original emulsion. It is a commonly used dry powder mortar additive in putty. 1. The role of latex powder flexibility In the production of building paint putty powder, redispersible latex powder […]
According to a recent report from Bloomberg News, BASF SE is reaching out to potential buyers regarding selling its coatings business. The Bloomberg News report says that BASF has set a valuation of approximately €6 billion ($6.81 billion). BASF reported sales of $4.7 billion in 2023, making it the seventh largest international paint and coatings company in Coatings […]
Polycarboxylate is a synthetic organic polymer composed of long chains and carboxylate side groups. These functional groups have a strong affinity for the calcium ions present in the cement slurry, forming a protective layer around the cement particles. This mechanism can prevent clumping and allow cement particles to disperse better in water, thereby improving the […]
Polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is a commonly used concrete additive, which can effectively reduce the amount of cement in concrete, improve the fluidity of concrete and reduce the shrinkage of concrete. However, the use of polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent also needs to pay attention to some problems. The following is a detailed introduction to […]
Compared to aerated concrete block walls, lightweight foam partition walls offer lower overall construction costs. Currently, the unit price of lightweight partition walls (excluding plastering) is approximately 23% lower than that of aerated concrete block walls (including plastering), significantly reducing total construction costs. Foam lightweight concrete partition wall panels align more closely with green building […]
The worldwide defoamer market has actually witnessed an amazing surge in demand, driven by progressing commercial requirements and governing shifts. As manufacturers in various fields gradually overcome foam control barriers, from food processing to medicine, all industries gradually rely on anti-foaming agents to maintain operational efficiency. The recent report emphasizes that sales of defoamers can […]
Polycarboxylic Acid Water-Reducing Agents and Concrete Polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agents are surfactants with molecular structures containing two distinct functional groups: hydrophilic groups and hydrophobic groups. Under normal conditions, polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agents reduce interparticle forces by adsorbing onto the surfaces of cement particles, thereby increasing the flowability of concrete. However, another important function of polycarboxylic […]
Applications of Foam ConcreteFoam concrete, with its excellent properties, is widely used in energy-saving wall materials and has also found applications in other areas. Currently, the primary applications of foam concrete in China include the on-site casting of foam concrete insulation layers for roofs, foam concrete panels, foam concrete, lightweight wall panels, and foam concrete foundation […]
The worldwide change toward sustainable products has placed hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) at the center of industrial development. As sectors seek eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemicals, hydroxyethyl cellulose suppliers are leading the fee by refining manufacturing approaches to meet climbing demand. A current record from the Global Chemical Association highlights a 14% year-over-year increase in HEC use, driven […]
Diatomite paint is an indoor decorative wall material primarily made from diatomite. Due to its health and environmental benefits, it not only has excellent decorative properties but also functional properties, making it a new generation of indoor decorative materials. Cellulose ethers are synthetic polymers derived from natural cellulose, a high-molecular-weight material. They are odorless, tasteless, […]
