| Modified additives such as ready-mixed mortar additives, cellulose ethers, coagulant, redispersible polymer powder, air-entraining agents, early strength agents, water-reducing agents, etc., which are added separately according to the needs of the project, greatly improve the performance of ready-mixed mortars, physical and mechanical properties. The additives in these ready-mixed mortars are added to the ready-mixed mortar to make the quality of the ready-mixed mortar more stable and superior in performance. Let’s know more about the recommended solutions for additives choice in ready-mixed mortar. Ready-mixed mortar additives The anionic surfactant contained in the ready-mixed mortar additive in projects can disperse the cement particles and release the free water encapsulated by the cement agglomerates, which fully diffuses the agglomerated cement clusters, completely hydrates, and achieves a compact structure and increases the mortar’s strength, improve impermeability, crack resistance and durability. The mortar mixed with ready-mixed mortar additives has good workability during operation, high water retention rate, strong adhesion, non-toxic, harmless, safe and environmentally friendly. It is suitable for the production of ordinary masonry, plastering, ground and waterproof mortar in ready-mixed mortar factories. It is used for the construction of concrete clay bricks, ceramsite bricks, hollow bricks, concrete blocks, and non-burning bricks in various industrial and civil buildings. Construction of internal and external wall plastering, concrete wall plastering, ground and roof leveling, waterproof mortar, etc.  In the ready-mixed mortar, cellulose ether is a main additive that has a very low addition amount, but can significantly improve the performance of the wet mortar and affect the construction performance of the mortar. Reasonable selection of cellulose ether of different varieties, different viscosities, different particle sizes, different degrees of viscosity and added amount will produce and exert a positive influence on the improvement of the performance of dry mortar.  Redispersible polymer powder Redispersible polymer powder is a powdered thermoplastic resin produced by spray drying and subsequent processing of polymer emulsions. It is mainly used in construction, especially dry mortar to increase cohesion, cohesion and flexibility. The role of the redispersible polymer powder in the mortar: the redispersible polymer powder forms a film after being dispersed and acts as a second adhesive to enhance the adhesion; the protective colloid is absorbed by the mortar system and will not be destroyed by water after the film is formed or disperse twice; the film-forming polymer resin is distributed in the entire mortar system as a reinforcing material, thereby increasing the cohesion of the mortar. Redispersible polymer powder in wet mortar can improve construction performance, improve fluidity, increase thixotropy and sag resistance, improve cohesion, extend open time, enhance water retention, etc. It can improve the tensile strength after the mortar is cured. Tensile strength, increase bending strength, reduce elastic modulus, improve deformability, increase material compactness, increase wear resistance, increase cohesive strength, reduce carbonization depth, reduce material water absorption, and make materials have excellent hydrophobicity water and other effects. Air-entraining agent Air-entraining agent, refers to the introduction of a large number of uniformly distributed micro-bubbles during the mortar mixing process, which can reduce the surface tension of the mixed water in the mortar, resulting in better dispersibility and reduced mortar mixing Additives for bleeding and segregation. In addition, the introduction of fine and stable air bubbles also improves construction performance. The amount of air introduced depends on the type of mortar and the mixing equipment used. Although the dosage of air-entraining agent is extremely small, the air-entraining agent has a great influence on the performance of the ready-mixed mortar. It can effectively improve the workability of the ready-mixed mortar, increase the impermeability and frost resistance of the mortar, and reduce the density of the mortar. , Save materials and increase construction area, but the addition of air-entraining agent will reduce the strength of mortar, especially compression mortar. Therefore, the amount of air-entraining agent should be strictly controlled, and the air content, construction performance and construction performance of the mortar can be tested. The relative strength is used to determine the optimal addition amount. Early Strength Agent Early strength agent is an additive that can accelerate the development of early strength of mortar, most of which are inorganic electrolytes, and a few are organic compounds. The early strength agent for ready-mixed mortar must be powdered and dry. The most widely used pre-mixed mortar is calcium formate. Calcium formate can improve the early strength of the mortar and accelerate the hydration of tricalcium silicate, which has a certain water reducing effect. The physical properties of calcium formate are stable at room temperature. It is not easy to agglomerate and is more suitable for application in dry mortar. Water reducing agent Water reducing agent refers to an additive that can reduce the amount of water used for mixing while keeping the consistency of the mortar basically the same. Water-reducing agents are generally surfactants, which are classified according to their functions: ordinary water-reducing agents, superplasticizer, early strength water-reducing agents, retarding water-reducing agents, retarding high-efficiency water-reducing agents and causing water-reducing agents, etc. The water-reducing agent used for ready-mixed mortar is required to be powdery and dry. Such water-reducing agent can be evenly dispersed in the dry-mixed mortar without reducing the shelf life of the ready-mixed mortar. At present, the application of water-reducing agent in ready-mixed mortar is generally in cement self-leveling, gypsum self-leveling, batching mortar, waterproof mortar, putty, etc. The selection of water-reducing agent should be based on different raw materials and different mortar properties. Optional. Additives for ready-mixed mortars include retarders, quick-setting agents, fibers, thixotropic lubricants, defoamers, etc., according to different types of mortars, different options are added. These additives are used in ready-mixed mortars. The improvement in performance is like a seasoning for cooking food. It is added to the dishes to brighten the color, increase the taste and lock the nutrition, so that different types of ready-mixed mortars can exert better quality capabilities. It is the ready-mixed mortar in the project. A magic weapon for better use in the game. |
