To match the ceramic tile, stone and other decorative materials, with beautiful surface and bonding between tile, seepage control, etc. High quality ceramic tile seam filling agent can reduce the stress of the walls or floors inside the cover material, protect tile base materials from mechanical damage and water penetration into the negative effect of the whole building.

using method of caulking agent

( 1) Surface treatment:

caulking process should be performed after the ceramic tile shop sticks for 24 h. At the same time electricity to remove loose ceramic tile adhesive between ceramic tile aperture.

（ 2) Mixing:

using low-speed electric drill with appropriate mixing blade for mechanical agitation. The powder added just the right amount of water, and then began to stir, until evenly without block. Slightly after mixing can be used again.

（ 3) Will fill in the gap filling agent mixture in the ceramic tile aperture, according to the diagonal direction or in annular rotating way will fill gap gap filling agent. As far as possible, not too much gap filling agent, the ceramic tile surface residues and before solidification material with a wet sponge or wet cloth clean the surface of the ceramic tile on a regular basis. Remove any defects discovered as soon as possible, and repair as soon as possible in good condition.

（ 4) To clean:

use micro wet sponge to clean the surface of ceramic tile, local use wet cloth to wipe clean, and in caulking agent layer dry before. Tools, rinse with water immediately after use. Caulking agent early dry after curing, the surface with dry cloth has pulverization of caulking agent erase, or to make a final cleaning with water.

the construction experience of caulking agent tricks

(1) after mixing, if let stand for 2 ~ 3 min after a stir, jointing agent will feel slightly shiny, then jointing agent unique organic composition will be better, to make the surface smoothness of jointing agent and the waterproof performance is better;

(2) after mixing the construction time is largely influenced by air temperature and humidity, generally to mix use 1 h after began to pay attention to the performance of mucilage, run out as soon as possible;

3. With a slightly damp sponge to achieve completely screw is not water, there are two methods can be more easily to twist dry sponge, use cotton with one side stick together, will the sponge sponge twist dries easily force; To sponge on the thick plate, and then live in a steel wear on the pipe extrusion;

(4) using acid cleaning products ( Such as net clean porcelain products) Cleaning, in the case of can wash, should try to dilute, and on the wall in advance before cleaning water wetting; Press

(5) into the jointing agent, sponge scraper appropriate strength big, make the pressure into the surface of the surface of the jointing agent below, is advantageous to the sponge when cleaning too won't destroy the jointing surface, and save materials;

6 sponge scraper with long time after inhaling a certain amount of jointing agent material, makes the tool sends hard and loss of elasticity, can put the sponge scraper on the plane, with a small hammer percussion can restore elasticity to jointing knife, use sand paper to grind and then can continue to use;

7) under normal circumstances, the wall of a wide using coarser particles of jointing seam, higher requirements on mildew antibacterial parts, such as wet toilet, appropriate chooses mouldproof type of jointing agent;

sometimes end up in order to get better cleaning effect, can use sponge cleaning twice along the same direction, but make sure the sponge dry, and regular cleaning sponge;

pet-name ruby there are special iron bar jointing knife, on the market for hook filled with wider stitching, construction efficiency while the lower, but the biggest benefit is without cleaning, the effect is very good also.

caulking agents

( 1) And ceramic tile edge has good adhesiveness;

（ 2) Low shrinkage rate, reduce the crack formation;

（ 3) High quality flexible formula can also have enough resistance to deformation ability, high toughness, or soft;

（ 4) For high wear resistance;

（ 5) Low water absorption, good permeability resistance;

（ 6) Provide appropriate construction consistency, has excellent workability.

items need to be aware of ceramic tile seam filling agent

1. Beauty compared with ceramic tile seam an agent construction gal said after 24 hours, caulking agent need to put in brick after seven days to construction, and construction temperature not lower than 0 degrees oh.

2. For caulking agent construction, the need to maintain the cleanliness of the surface of ceramic tile aperture and ceramic tile clean, so can make caulking agent to achieve the best effect.

3. In order to keep the color the color of caulking agent, in construction after a period of time, just good ceramic tile with dry dishcloth to clean surface.

4. Within a few days after the completion of construction, can't let the sun directly on the gap filling agent, or it will not fill the effect of ceramic tile aperture.
