Things you don’t know about elastic putty

Elastic putty is a wall material widely used in construction and has a certain elasticity and filling effect. It is mainly composed of acrylic emulsion and inorganic materials, including concrete, cement mortar plastering, hollow bricks and various insulation board finishes.

Elastic putty has the following functions:

2. Filling function: When the decorative wall surface is not flat enough, you can use a shovel to smooth the wall surface, and then apply elastic putty to fill and smooth the wall surface. This can make the base layer smooth and smooth, which is beneficial to subsequent paint processing and has a great impact on the final decoration effect.

3. Repair cracks: If cracks appear on the wall during use, elastic putty can be applied to the cracked wall to cover up the cracks in the wall. Elastic putty has a certain tension that can change with the thermal expansion and contraction of cracks, so no matter how the external environment changes, cracks will not reappear.

4. Decorative effect: Using elastic putty to paint the wall can change and form different wall effects, creating unique decorative patterns and textures. Therefore, elastic putty is considered a material that can directly decorate the wall. Applying colored paint after construction can achieve better color and texture effects.

According to the different elasticity levels and components, elastic putty can be divided into different types such as high elasticity, medium elasticity and low elasticity putty, as well as single-component exterior wall elastic putty and two-component exterior wall elastic putty.

When using elastic putty, you need to pay attention to the following issues:

The product must be mixed with water before use and used within 3 hours. Do not add water to the dried glue and mix it before use.

When renovating an old wall, the entire wall should be cleaned and carefully checked for hollows. If there are hollows in the wall, they must be filled before using elastic putty.

Elastic putty is suitable for use in environments between 5℃ and 40℃. If the temperature is too high, the wall should be sprayed wet before construction before using this product.

Elastic putty has a wide range of uses and can be used for anti-microcrack base treatment on decorative surfaces of various building walls, as well as plastering of concrete and cement mortar, and even includes projects such as hollow brickwork and various types of external wall insulation. According to the needs of different construction projects and uses, the content of the elastic putty formula can be adjusted to expand its scope of use.
