Sand and cement mixture: composition and application

Dry mixtures have found very wide application in construction. There is a large selection of materials that have different uses. For grouting joints, waterproofing, tile stickers and natural stone dry compositions are used. Sand-cement mixture is used for plastering, laying, leveling floors, creating a flat surface.

Composition

All cement-sand materials are made on the basis of cement of different brands: M400, M500, M600. But this is not just a mix of cement and sand. As a special component, a binder is used. In order to soften the plaster mixture, a plasticizer is added to it - lime. Sand-cement mixture, which is used for floor screeding, has a hydrophobizator. All these and other components added to dry materials have been tested in laboratories with modern equipment. Some additives have a directional effect for a particular type of work. It should be noted that all modern compounds are of high quality. Some of them are universal, others have a special purpose.

Price

All the mixtures existing in the domestic market are cheaper than imported materials from abroad. Sand-cement mixture is expensive for the manufacturer, because the production process is quite complicated. That's why there are so few companies in the market that produce quality modifiers. The price of the product depends on the chemical additives that are included in the dry materials.

Quality

In order to obtain a good result in the construction work, it is necessary to use high-quality material. Of course, the factory imported finished plaster is much better than the sand-cement mixture of domestic production. The thing is that mineral fillers, binders, additives do not always have the proper quality. This applies to sand, which is the main part. Domestic manufacturers study and compare dry compositions of different brands, equaling the advanced manufacturers.

Building materials "Bases"

Produces the trade mark "Will Establish" dry mixes for plastering walls, floors, tile glue, primers. In total, the company produces 50 kinds of materials. Great demand is used for priming and filling floors. It can be applied either by machines or manually. Advantage of the floor - quick grasp (after 4 hours you can already walk on it). The materials of this company are of high quality and very popular in the market.

Among modern finishing materials use dry mixes "Ивсил". The company began its activity with the production of traditional mixtures (1997) and gradually expanded the range and volumes of manufactured products. Today the enterprise produces innovative multicomponent compounds. Among its products are glutinous materials, puttying, waterproofing, priming, colored mixtures and decorative plasters.

Conclusion

In order to achieve a good result in construction work, it is necessary to use dry mixtures of only known foreign and domestic manufacturers. The final result will also depend on the properly prepared surface and professionalism of the builders.
