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.

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.
