Polvere idrofobica di silicone (SHP): una soluzione fondamentale per l'impermeabilità e la durata nei composti autolivellanti

As a China-based chemical materials manufacturer with deep industry expertise, we are committed to providing professional and efficient chemical solutions to global clients with cutting-edge technology and exceptional quality. In modern flooring projects, self-leveling compounds are highly popular for their excellent flowability and ease of application. However, the long-term stability and durability of the floor, especially its moisture-proofing capability, are key factors for a project's success. This article details how our core product—Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (Silicone Hydrophobic Powder, SHP)—provides a revolutionary performance upgrade for self-leveling compounds.

A Professional Analysis of Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP)

Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP) is a polymer powder modified with silane/siloxane. Through a unique micro-encapsulation technology, it releases active substances during the mortar's curing process. These active substances react chemically with the cement hydration products and the substrate surface, forming a dense, irreversible organic silicone waterproof network within the pores. This microscopic hydrophobic layer effectively lowers the surface energy of the mortar's capillary pores, fundamentally blocking the penetration of liquid water while maintaining the material's breathability, thereby providing a lasting waterproof and moisture-proof effect for self-leveling compounds.

Core Applications and Value of SHP in Self-Leveling Compounds

Self-leveling compounds, as the foundation of a flooring system, have a moisture-proofing performance that is critical for protecting upper-layer flooring materials (such as wood flooring, carpets, and PVC flooring), especially in basements or humid environments.

• High-Efficiency Ground Moisture Barrier: Adding SHP to self-leveling compounds creates a high-efficiency moisture barrier, effectively resisting capillary water absorption and moisture from the ground. This is crucial for moisture-proofing self-leveling compounds, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire flooring system.

• Optimized Material Performance: The hydrophobic effect of SHP helps improve the rheological properties of the mortar and reduces surface bleeding. This makes the self-leveling compound easier to spread and level during application, forming a denser and more robust hardened surface. This not only enhances the floor's compressive strength and abrasion resistance but also provides a more ideal base for subsequent flooring installation.

• Enhanced Floor Durability: By reducing the moisture content in the mortar's pores, SHP can effectively improve the floor material's resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and weathering, extending its service life. Furthermore, SHP can fundamentally inhibit efflorescence on floors, preserving the surface's aesthetics and integrity.
