CONSTRUCTION CHEMISTRY: APPLICATIONS AND USES

Construction chemistry is utilized at all stages of finishing work in a room. The first stage involves screeding, as well as all operations aimed at reinforcing basic cement or concrete structures.

Applying plasters, laying floors, or constructing ceilings is impossible without careful surface treatment. These tasks also require materials for leveling surfaces. Construction chemicals are necessary to perform many renovation and finishing tasks correctly. To create an ideal surface for applying decorative coatings, it is often essential to hermetically treat binders of various structures, cracks, and gaps. For this purpose, well-known manufacturers offer a wide range of silicones, grouts, and polymer mixes that not only facilitate the quality installation of floors and decorative coatings but also ensure their best performance, wear resistance, and durability. Construction chemicals also include adhesives, primers, mortars, and insulation materials.

ADVANTAGES OF CONSTRUCTION CHEMISTRY

The advantages of using construction chemistry are quite apparent. They significantly simplify the decoration of rooms, creating optimal conditions for high-quality coating installation. Construction chemicals add additional protective and structural properties to the main coating, enhancing the decorative and functional properties of basic materials. A significant advantage of construction chemistry is the low cost of the entire range of products, which also demonstrates excellent quality of additives and mixtures, as well as increased durability of base coatings.

ADHESIVES

In the market, online stores, wholesalers, and construction markets, you will find dozens of types and kinds of adhesives. Which adhesive to choose? Remember to do thorough research before starting renovation or finishing work and choose an adhesive that truly meets your expectations. Below is a list of products that will help you bond almost anything.

FOAMS

Foams, especially gun foams, often prove indispensable when we want to seal or simply strengthen something. There are many types of foams on the market, which differ primarily in application, the surfaces they can be used on, and the time needed for the foam to start working correctly. Additionally, some foams can only be used in specific conditions, while others are suitable for use in any circumstances.

Types of STALCO Foams:

• Universal Hose Foam 750 ml
• Universal Gun Foam 750 ml

• Super Fast Gun Adhesive
• Polystyrene Gun Adhesive
• Masonry Gun Mortar
• Fire-Resistant Gun Foam

SILICONES AND SEALANTS

Silicone is indispensable for sealing, grouting, or waterproofing. It comes in many types, differing in properties and applications. What connects all silicones? Durability, elasticity, waterproofness, and ease of use. Sealants are used to fill all kinds of gaps, joints, cracks, connections between door frames and walls, sanitary appliances with ceramic tiles, or baseboards attached to not always even plasters. They are easy to use, squeezed from a plastic cartridge ending in a conical nozzle, using a manual gun. They are easy to maintain in good technical condition.

Types of STALCO Silicones and Sealants:

• Universal Acetic Silicone (Transparent and White)
• Universal Neutral Silicone (Transparent and White)
• Sanitary Acetic Silicone (Transparent and White)

• Express Fast Sealant
• Lightweight Flexible Sealant
• Acrylic Facade Sealant
• Black Bituminous Sealant
• Transparent Roofing Sealant

Conclusion

Construction chemistry is an indispensable part of any renovation or building project. From adhesives and foams to silicones and sealants, choosing the right products ensures that your project will be completed with high quality and durability. Always make sure to select the appropriate type of product for your specific needs and application requirements.
