Is it true that technical grade calcium formate can be added to tile adhesives?
Because of the epidemic, various industries are more or less affected, as is architecture. Recently, many friends asked us whether technical grade calcium formate can be added to the tile adhesive. There are also many consultations every day. In order to let everyone step on the thunder and improve the efficiency of the response, the relevant uses of technical grade calcium formate in the tile adhesive are organized and sent out in the hope that it will be helpful to everyone.
Ceramic tile adhesive refers to cement-based ceramic tile adhesive. The main ingredients are cement, sand, cellulose and calcium formate mixed together. In mortar, calcium formate can improve the adhesion, not only the early strength agent, but also can be used in thermal insulation board and tile adhesive.First look at the role of tile adhesive:
1. Strong binding force, which is 3-5 times that of traditional cement, river sand and brick.
2. No empty drums, no falling bricks, no sliding.
3. Water-resistant, moisture-proof and anti-aging.
4. Environmental protection and non-toxic.
5. The construction is simple and easy to use.
The principle of technical grade calcium formate: accelerate the hydration reaction of cement, increase the growth of ettringite, and improve the early strength of cement products. For C1, 5 ~ 10kg is fine. For C2, it is best to add 10kg. Calcium formate also has antiseptic effect, and it is safe and non-toxic when used in tile adhesive.
The implementation of the National Environmental Protection Law and engineering quality control requirements, etc., are all precursors to the rapid development of calcium formate in tile adhesives. There is no best material, best formula. Only the one that suits you and knows how to match and use is the best. The calcium formate market has too much fraud, produced by-product raw materials, mixed with Yuanming powder, and so on. When you buy technical grade calcium formate in tile adhesives, you must keep your eyes open. If the raw materials cannot be controlled, the subsequent quality assurance will not be discussed.
