Building industry defoamers - a favorable force for promoting the development of green buildings

In the construction industry, the foam problem often puzzles the key links of concrete pouring, gypsum board production, waterproof coating construction, etc. Too much foam will lead to the decline of material strength, surface defects, construction efficiency, and even affect the durability of building structures. As an efficient functional additive, defoamers in the construction industry have become an indispensable component of modern construction due to their unique advantages.   

1、 Improve the performance of building materials and ensure construction quality

In the concrete industry, foam will lead to high air content of concrete and reduce the compressive strength. And defoamers can accurately control the air content at around 3% -5%, ensuring the compactness of concrete and improving durability. In the production of FGD gypsum board, foam will make the bulk density of the board uneven and affect the fire resistance. Efficient defoamers can stabilize the density of gypsum board at 0.8-1.2g/cm ³, which meets international standards. In waterproof coatings, water-based coatings are prone to foaming, which can easily cause pinholes and bulges in the coating. Defoamers can eliminate microbubbles, improve coating waterproofing and adhesion.

2、 Improve construction efficiency and save costs

When pumping concrete, foam will increase the pumping resistance and even cause pipe plugging. Defoamers can reduce pumping pressure by more than 30% and improve construction smoothness. In addition, foam will also affect the fluidity of self leveling mortar, resulting in uneven surface. Defoamers can optimize leveling, reduce manual repair costs, and greatly improve construction efficiency.   

3、 Environmentally friendly and safe, in compliance with green building standards

Modern building defoamers comply with the green environmental standards of biodegradable defoamers, utilizing renewable resources such as vegetable oils to develop low-carbon products. While ensuring construction safety, they greatly reduce environmental pollution, adapt to extreme construction environments, have strong stability, and promote the sustainable development of the green building industry.

Defoamers in the construction industry not only solve the foam problem in construction, but also play a key role in improving construction quality, reducing costs and promoting sustainable development. With the popularization of green buildings and intelligent construction, efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent defoamers will become a standard in the industry, helping the construction industry move towards higher standards.
