Best joint compound formulations – Mikem Chemical Recommendation

The best joint compound formulations recommended by Mikem experts is divided into two cases, the formula with sand added and the formula without sand added. These two formulas can play the greatest role when used in the corresponding scenarios.

Joint compound (also known as caulk or sealant) is a material used to fill, seal and bond gaps between materials. It is widely used in construction, home decoration,industrial manufacturing and other fields.

The specific application scenarios of joint agents

To master the caulking agent formula, for start-ups or purchasing personnel, it is necessary to understand the application of caulking agents so that they can use them better.

1. Construction and decoration field·

• Tile grout:

。Used to fill the gaps between tiles, stones, floors, etc. to prevent moisture penetration while improving the appearance.

。Common types: cement-based caulking agent, epoxy resin caulking agent, silicone sealant.

•  Wall crack repair:

。Used to repair cracks in walls, ceilings or floors to prevent further cracking.

Common types: elastic sealant, polymer-modified cement caulking agent.

•  Door andwindowsealing:

。Used to fill the gap between doors and windows and walls to achieve waterproof, soundproof and heat-insulating effects.

。Common types: silicone sealant, polyurethane sealant. ·  Pipeline sealing:

。Used to seal pipe interfaces such as water pipes and heating pipes to prevent water leakage.

。Common types: silicone sealant, polysulfide sealant.

2. Home Repair

•  Kitchen and Bathroom Sealing:

。Used for waterproof sealing of joints in sinks, bathtubs, countertops, etc.

Common type: silicone sealant (mildew-proof).

•  Floor Joint Treatment:

。Used for filling joints in wooden floors and laminate floors to prevent dust accumulation and moisture penetration.

。Common type: elastic caulking agent.

• Furniture Repair:

。Used to repair cracks or joints in furniture to enhance structural stability.

Common types: wood glue, epoxy resin glue.

Joint compound(Caulking agent) formulations

1.Formulation for Tile grout

Our MelaColl™ MP products and HPMC MP45000 are highly effective additives in joint compound. They can improve the its water retention capacity, which can avoid decreased strength and crack caused by excessive drying and lack of hydration.

2.Formulation for Tile Adhesive

In my previous blog for cement-based tile adhesive formula has a detailed introduction, here will not do more introduction, recommended the use of our company's production of HPMC MP70000 products, which can be used as a thickener, binder, surfactant, protective colloid, suspending agent, as well as water retention agent, water retention agent. It can be used as thickener, binder, surfactant, protective colloid, suspending agent and water retaining agent for various construction materials. It is also an excellent high viscosity cellulose ether in practical application.
