IntroductionFreeze-thaw resistance is an essential property of concrete in regions where temperatures drop below freezing. Concrete structures exposed to cycles of freezing and thawing can crack, spall and deteriorate over time. Therefore, it is important to improve the freeze-thaw resistance of con
READ MOREIntroductionRedispersible polymer powder (RDP), also referred to as dry-mix polymer, is a free-flowing powder made from various water-soluble polymers such as vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and acrylics. RDP is widely used in the construction industry as a binder in cement-ba
READ MOREIntroductionConcrete is a versatile building material that is highly durable, stable, and strong. It is commonly used in the construction of buildings, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure projects. However, concrete structures are not immune to damage and decay. Factors such as weathering, chemi
READ MOREIntroductionExterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) are widely used as a cladding and insulation system for buildings. EIFS consists of three main components: the insulation layer, the base coat, and the finish coat. The insulation layer is made of expanded polystyrene or mineral wool, and it
READ MOREIntroductionSelf-leveling floor screeds (SLFS) are used in construction projects to level out concrete floors to create a smooth and level surface. These screeds are a mixture of cement, sand, and water, and they are easy to apply due to their self-leveling properties. To enhance the properties of S
READ MOREIntroductionRedispersible polymer powder (RDP) has gained popularity in construction applications due to its unique properties, such as water resistance and durability. RDP is a free-flowing powder made by spray-drying an emulsion of polymer with a protective colloid, usually polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
