Reference for employees in related industries such as departments (production technicians, construction personnel, project supervisors, quality inspectors, etc.).

 1. Material system

Understanding the different properties of the material system and related raw materials is very helpful to improve the performance of polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty. The main raw materials currently used include inorganic cementitious materials: such as ordinary Portland cement, white cement, calcium lime powder, calcium hydroxide, etc.; fillers: such as quartz sand, quartz powder, wollastonite powder, washed river sand, double fly powder , Heavy calcium powder, etc.; cellulose and fibers: such as methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), wood fiber, polystyrene staple fiber, etc.; polymers: such as elastic emulsion, Synthetic emulsion, redispersible latex powder, polyvinyl alcohol powder, compound and composite additives, etc.; multifunctional rubber powder: polymer powder, etc., and other additives.

 2. Economical and practical issues

The development and application of polymer plastering mortar, exterior wall putty products and their application technology to the national general promotion show that their economic practicality is mainly in two major aspects. On the one hand, it is required to ensure that the product has excellent quality and stability. Satisfying the various needs of construction engineering quality means having good practical application value. On the other hand, products must also have strong economic efficiency. At present, some new building materials are slowly being promoted in some areas, except for publicity. In addition to insufficient promotion, the main reason is that the product price is high and the project contractor is unwilling to buy. The product performance and price status of polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty, from the overall situation and development trend analysis, with the intensified market competition, continuous technological progress and the development and promotion of new functional materials, the comprehensive performance of the product will be improved. With continuous increase, the cost will also decrease, and it will be more widely used. In the production and application of polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty, we must also rely on technological progress, boldly adopt new materials, and continue to develop and innovate to meet the market demand.

 3. The nature of raw materials and the relationship between them

At present, many manufacturers have limited understanding of the functions and functions of various raw materials used in polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty and the relationship between them, and their practical experience is insufficient, resulting in unstable products and inability to exert good adhesion Knot and crack resistance. Through long-term research, application and technical consulting services, it is very important for the author to fully understand and master the nature, function, function of the material and the relationship between the main and auxiliary materials. The key to the technology is to select and use the raw materials.

 First of all, cement products (PO or PW) are one of the main raw materials. The main function of polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty products is to play a bonding role, and its adhesion, weather resistance, moisture resistance and reliable stability Sexuality can be maintained for decades or hundreds of years. Cement is an inorganic cementitious material. It is characterized by a hydraulic material. The hydration and setting hardening of cement is a continuous process. The first hydration and then the setting. The result of the setting and hardening depends on the hydration conditions. The more fully hydrated The better the water curing, the better the corresponding strength and stability; the hydration and hardening speed of cement is also obviously affected by the ambient temperature, that is, the higher the ambient temperature, the faster the hydration and hardening speed, and the lower the ambient temperature , The speed of cement hydration and setting and hardening is correspondingly slower. Cement will inevitably produce strong drying shrinkage during the setting and hardening process. This drying shrinkage will cause stress inside the mortar, which will damage the structure and cause cracks. This is commonly referred to as cracking, hollowing, shedding, and cement shrinking. Cracks are a universal problem. To

 As the most important raw material, polymer products mainly help cement fully hydrate, increase viscosity, retain water, and resist cracking. It improves the bonding strength, stability, and anti-cracking of polymer plaster mortar and exterior wall putty. , It plays a great role in improving the construction performance. The filler acts as an aggregate reinforcement in the polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty. It can produce a better mechanical structure together with the cement, which has a strong impact on the bonding strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, and structural strength and tensile strength. Anti-cracking, etc. have a certain effect, so it is also very important to choose what kind of aggregate and what size aggregate.

Four, application practice

 Polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty have been popularized and applied for many years, because ordinary mortar plastering is often prone to cracks, hollowing, and falling off. To solve this technical problem, the exterior wall plastering mortar or exterior wall in Beijing The putty is mixed with construction glue (such as polyvinyl formal adhesive, and later construction emulsion, elastic emulsion, synthetic emulsion, etc.), the purpose is to increase the bonding strength and flexibility of the cement slurry, and prevent cracking and falling off. But after more than ten years of practical application verification, these methods are difficult to solve the problem. In recent years, the use of methyl cellulose ether (MC), or hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), polyvinyl alcohol powder (1788, 2488, etc.), redispersible latex Dry-mixed mortar, exterior wall putty, etc. produced by powder, lignocellulose, etc., although some results have been achieved, but they are limited. Because the above-mentioned products have single functions and are not well-targeted, they have The effects of strength stability and prevention of cement shrinkage cracks are not ideal, and the product cost is relatively high. Some new functional products, such as the redispersible latex powder product produced by Gomez Chemical’s polymer polymer, are very good. The polymer bonding mortar, plastering mortar, and external wall anti-cracking putty produced by this series of rubber powder Expansion polystyrene board thin plaster exterior wall external insulation system, thermal insulation slurry, building coating engineering (including external wall anti-cracking putty, fluorocarbon paint primer, fireproof coating, etc.) have many years of successful application experience, and the effect is good , Can meet the requirements of project quality.

Five, the main reason for light cracks

 Analysis of the main causes of cracks The author has analyzed from years of experience in engineering and technical consulting services, there are many reasons for cracks and cracks in polymer plastering mortar and exterior wall putty. The most important is the cracks, hollowing, and shedding caused by the internal stress generated in the process of cement drying; the second is the cracks and cracks caused by the subsidence of the foundation and the slight earthquake. In the product, the raw materials used in the model, specifications, quality are not up to the requirements and the improper ratio will also lead to poor product bonding performance, prone to cracks, cracks, or even hollowing, falling off; there are obvious cracks, cracks or cracks in the wall base. The grass roots are powdered, loose, and oily, which can also cause cracks, hollowing, and shedding. Under normal circumstances, regardless of the horizontal and vertical, as long as it is a straight crack or a crack, it should be caused by the stress caused by the subsidence of the foundation and the change of the wall structure. If there is a large area of ​​obvious cracks, it should be mainly due to the poor crack resistance of the base layer, construction, and the product itself.
