Those who have already had to work with cement mortar, could hear that some experienced masters for something add to it shampoo (or some other unusual substances). At an experienced wizard, a fair question arises that why add something more superfront in cement? It is even more important to understand whether this mixture will not harm.
There are industrial plasticians
Cement mortar is simple, proven in centuries and as a result, one of the most sought-after building materials on the market. To improve the quality of cement solutions, various plasticizers are used. Due to them, the solution may acquire some additional positive properties and quality. As a rule, specialists Allocate the following list:
1. Reducing water content and solution stabilization
2. Enhance frost resistance and moisture resistance
3. Improve plasticity and adhesion with fittings
4. Simplifying the fill and seal, as well as a more uniform distribution of the solution
5. Simplify dismantling formwork
6. Increased the possibility of using a cement mortar and extension of the time window to eliminate errors
There are folk techniques.
When it comes to a large-scale construction site, the companies are purchased specially created and cooked by the construction industry plasticizers. In private construction, the masters often resort to the help of improvised drugs, namely liquid soap, shampoo, washing powder, dishwashing agents. The bottom line is that soap solutions have the same alkaline environment, as well as cement, and therefore mainly compatible.
It is important : When using both handicrafts and professional plasticizers, cement mortar must be mixed thoroughly. In addition, any plasticizer should not exceed 5% of the total mass of the solution.
Could be so.
As a rule, the plasticizer is added at the very beginning of the preparation of the solution in the liquid state. When it comes to handicraft plasticizers, they are pre-dissolved in water. By 50 kg of cement leaves about 200 ml of liquid agent.
