In wall renovation, putty fills cracks, levels surfaces, and creates a smooth base for painting. Yet many homeowners or crews overlook the number of coats and application details—leading to later issues like hollowing, cracking, or peeling. So: How many coats do you really need? And how to get it ri

As a new environmentally friendly flooring material, self-leveling cement is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to its quick construction and high smoothness. However, to achieve ideal construction results, it is crucial to master the correct construction methods an

Traditional mortar, primarily composed of cement, sand, and water, has notable limitations in modern construction materials. It suffers from weak adhesion and post-curing brittleness, posing both construction challenges and quality risks. The introduction of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) and

What makes some adhesives excel in these areas while others fall short? The answer often lies in two key additives—HPMC and RDP—and a few other unsung ingredients that turn basic glue into high-performance adhesive. Tile adhesive is not just cement and water—it's the additives that turn basic glue into a high-performance workhorse. In my latest article, I break down the unsung heroes behind strong, workable, weather-resistant tile adhesive. HPMC acts as the "regulator" that buys you time to adjust tiles (keeps adhesive from drying out too fast) and no more sliding! RDP is the "bodyguard" that fights humidity, frost, and aging—critical for tropical or cold climates. Plus the supporting players of additives that prevent cracks, fix pinholes, and boost flexibility. Skip these, and even the strongest adhesive might fail fast.

In the field of interior wall plastering, traditional cement mortar is gradually being replaced by a more efficient and environmentally friendly material: lightweight plastering gypsum. As an air-hardening material based on building gypsum and combined with optimized additives and aggregates, it not
