Some home owners degumming caulking construction after only a few months, this is what causes? Many external factors that affect the construction, the following is the caulking help small make up take you to a detailed analysis.

clean insufficient

in general use crack-cleaning cone crack in the clear gap filling agent, and then use brush back and forth to clear the remaining gap of dust, and vacuum cleaner crack-cleaning.

: the crack-cleaning clean and dust exists between brick joints and gap filling grout, leading to ceramic tile can't fully bonding between and gap filling agent, to produce degumming phenomenon.

the solution: in this kind of phenomenon do?

there is only one way to use the crack-cleaning tools come unglued parts shovel, using brush clean secondary construction.

caulking material problem, poor material

caulking glue is epoxy resin and a polymer to form a strong elasticity and the hardness of porcelain thick liquid, can form a thick layer of protective film on the surface after construction, with the moisture permeability and other functions.

why: some manufacturers 'caulking products banner, the material is filled seam an agent, Trace polymer + normal pigment) 。 Is characterized by caulking construction out darker color, after use brick seam surface discoloration phenomenon will appear, this is because the inferior materials used most caulking glue is cement mixture. Although itself can prevent water flowing into, but paint will gradually oxidized along with oxygen in the air. To appear fade phenomenon, over time the surface of the color change can form defect and degumming phenomenon

the solution: of course if you are using to this caulking, I suggest you find a formal caulking construction team for a great clean up. All use off all the product construction of ceramic tile aperture, and then new caulking construction should be carried out.

caulking products fill the incomplete, there is water enter

in construction of caulking glue adhesive mouth place need cutting according to the size of the ceramic tile aperture, this is because when glue nozzle exit width and slit width. Extrusion type caulking glue glue can and the perfect combination of brick joints can avoid redundant caulking glue caused less waste can also avoid the phenomenon such as filler is not full.

reason: when the caulking glue cannot be fully populated to the brick joints in the use of scraper, can cause appears at the bottom of the middle or brick joints of gap. If it is at this time in wet areas such as: the place such as kitchen, toilet caulking construction, a lot of water flows into the surface of ceramic tile, accumulate over a long period is easy to cause flooding and degumming. Gap exists in the hole, material fill the gap is not full, that's not strong enough.

the solution: if you are already the construction and the reasons lead to caulking degumming, then you need to sort, come unglued parts and moisture, using caulking gun construction again.

it is important to note that recommends glue after selecting seam pressure tool, stitched balls instead of scraper selection pressure. Because the seam pressure ball strength is greater than the scraper, can make the caulking glue and better adhesion.
