Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP)
Redispersible polymer powder is a water-soluble redispersible powder formed by spray-drying polymer emulsions. It is a primary binder in cement-based and gypsum-based dry-mix mortars.
- Enhances the adhesion of dry-mix mortar to various substrates.
- Ensures the durability of mortar adhesion under various service conditions.
- Reduces the elastic modulus while increasing elasticity and flexibility.
- Reduces water absorption; improves the anti-sagging and flowability of mortar.
Starch Ether
Starch ether is a general term for modified starches containing ether bonds in their molecules. It provides functions similar to cellulose ether but also has good compatibility with other construction additives.
- Effectively prevents sagging in thick-layer mortars.
- Extends the open time of mortar.
- Provides rapid thickening for mortar, improving rheology.
- Effectively prevents layering and segregation in mortar.
Wood Fiber
Wood fiber is an organic flocculent fiber material obtained from naturally renewable wood. It is a natural, water-insoluble fiber with excellent flexibility, strength, dispersibility, and chemical inertness.
- Improves the workability of mortar.
- Provides thickening and fiber reinforcement, extending open time.
- Excellent liquid absorption and anti-sagging performance.
- Cracking resistance and shrinkage reduction.
Cellulose Ether
Cellulose ether is a high-molecular-weight compound with an ether structure derived from cellulose. After etherification, cellulose becomes soluble in water, dilute alkalis, and exhibits thermoplasticity.
- Excellent water retention, thickening, and stability.
- Thickening effect controls optimal consistency.
- Significantly improves wet-tack and adhesion to substrates.
- Possesses air-entraining properties, increasing mortar yield.
Gypsum-based: Grouts, plastering mortars, bonding mortars.
Defoamer (Powder)
Defoamer is produced by adsorbing active organic ingredients onto a carrier. It eliminates foam generated during the use of dry-mix mortar, improving flowability and workability.
- Defoams micro-bubbles, achieving higher strength and density.
- High efficiency, resulting in fewer bubbles in liquids.
- Excellent flowability, non-dusting, easy to handle.
- Good wetting and dispersing properties, uniformly dispersed without oil spots.
Water Reducer
Mortar water reducers are surfactant additives that reduce mixing water needed while maintaining consistency. Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based types are the most efficient superplasticizers.
- Increases the strength and density of mortar.
- Improves the flowability of mortar.
Gypsum Retarder
Gypsum retarder is primarily used to slow down the setting speed of gypsum. It is vital because the initial strength development of gypsum building materials is excessively fast.
- Provides controlled setting, more uniform mixing, and improved gypsum surface quality.
- Increases surface hardness and reduces cracking risk.
Thixotropic Lubricant
Thixotropic lubricant is an active, layered, platelet-like silicate material. Its unique "house-of-cards" structure locks in water within the mortar, released under external force.
- Imparts thixotropy, improves workability.
- Enhances anti-sag and anti-slip properties.
- Improves surface finish.
Stabilizer
Stabilizer is a water-soluble high-molecular-weight polymer, serving as an efficient viscosity modifier for mortar. It effectively improves the sedimentation resistance of flowable systems.
- Effectively enhances system stability.
- Resistance to sedimentation and water bleeding.
- Does not negatively affect mortar flowability.
Wetting Agent
A wetting agent makes solid materials more easily wetted by water, reducing surface tension, allowing water to spread or penetrate the surface of solid materials.
- Efficiently wets and disperses fine particulate pigments and fillers.
- Ensures system uniformity.
- Provides a good appearance and surface finish.
Hydrophobic Agent
Hydrophobic agent is a layered, nano-scale inorganic material that disperses well, effectively enhancing water repellency and improving workability of dry-mix mortar.
- Reduces water absorption rate; enhances water-repellent properties.
- Reduces shrinkage, minimizing cracking.
- Improves mortar workability and lubricity.
- Controls mortar viscosity and improves rheology.
Silicone Hydrophobic Agent
A powder-form, high-efficiency silicone waterproofing additive specifically designed to enhance the water resistance and durability of inorganic building materials.
- Excellent water-repellent effect and good penetration depth.
- Strong alkali resistance and breathability.
- Good weather resistance and low surface tension.
- Good adhesion between agent and inorganic materials.
