We first understand the properties of white cement, white cement, the full name of white Portland cement, is a kind of white cement, with all the basic characteristics of ordinary cement, and at the same time has its own unique properties, so that it has a wide range of applications in the field of architectural decoration. Compared with ordinary gray Portland cement, it has higher strength and better acid and alkali resistance, and the color is white and uniform, in the construction industry, white cement is widely used in interior and exterior wall plastering, ground leveling, tile pasting and other aspects.
In addition to its application in the construction industry, white cement is also widely used in other fields, such as coatings, sculptures, handicraft making, etc. In these fields, the advantages of white cement have also been fully exploited and it has become an indispensable and important material.
Use. 1.Making decorative materials: white cement can be used to make various decorative building materials, such as artificial marble, colored floor tiles, colored wall tiles, colored plaster, decorative lines of various shapes, etc.
2.Repair materials: used to fill holes, cracks, etc. on the surface of the building, because its color is connected with most decorative materials, it is not easy to leave repair marks.
3.Making sculptures and works of art: Artists and sculptors often use white cement to create sculptures and works of art, as it is suitable for expressing details due to its fine texture and uniform whiteness.
4.Cast-in-place concrete or dry mortar: In modern construction, white cement can be used to prepare cast-in-place concrete or dry mortar for exterior wall coating or painting to achieve an aesthetic effect.
5.Joint and adhesive materials: The use of white cement can be used as a joint and adhesive material for stone and ceramic tiles, so that the color of the joint part is consistent and more beautiful.
Usage. 1.Mixing ratio: When using white cement, the mixing ratio with water or other additives (such as sand, quartz powder, etc.) needs to be adjusted according to the specific use. Usually, the ratio of white cement to water is 1:04 to 1:05 (cement: water).
2.Mixing: Mix the white cement with water and mix it evenly using a stirring rod or mixer to form a uniform paste without particles.
3.Use time: White cement should be used as soon as possible after mixing, and generally used before the prepared paste begins to harden (usually 30 minutes to an hour).
4.Construction environment: The environment should be kept dry and clean during construction to avoid rainwater and pollutants affecting the color and performance of white cement.
5.Maintenance: After construction, maintenance work should be done, and it is usually necessary to keep the construction area moist to avoid the rapid evaporation of white cement moisture, which will affect its strength and durability.
Precautions. The storage environment of white cement should be dry and avoid moisture.
Attention should be paid to personal protection during construction to avoid inhalation or contact with eyes and ** white cement dust.
White cement is more expensive than ordinary cement**, so the cost should be considered when building a large area.
Color consistency is very important when carrying out decorative construction, so it is important to ensure uniformity of mixing and mixing every time.
The effectiveness of white cement depends largely on the accuracy and meticulousness of the construction process. Correct use and adequate maintenance can maximize the decorative and practical value of white cement.
