Self-Leveling Compounds Additives

What are Self-Leveling Compounds？

Self-leveling compounds are often referred to as floor leveling layers or floor leveling compounds, crucial for creating a uniform floor surface. Self-leveling compounds mainly include cement-based self-leveling compounds and gypsum-based self-leveling compounds. They have different components, distinct characteristics, and diverse application scenarios.

Nom	Cement-based self-leveling compounds	Gypsum-based self-leveling compounds
Components	Special cement, fine aggregates, binders, and various additives	High-strength gypsum, aggregates, and additives
Characteristics	High hardness, good wear resistance, environmentally friendly, good adhesion	High strength and stability, no hollowing, no cracking, and high levelness
Application Scenarios	Underground parking lots, production workshops, etc.	Indoor floor leveling like homes, hospitals, schools

Both self-leveling compounds contain various additives with different functions, which enable self-leveling compounds to hold intensified development strength, better fluidity, and prolonged durability. LANDU, a large mature specialty chemicals manufacturer, provides qualified and environmentally friendly additives, ensuring the compounds perform robust bonding strength and strengthened wearproof ability.

What are Additives in Self-Leveling Compounds Formulas？

Common additives used for self-leveling compounds include water retainer, binder, defoamer, water reducer, and more. With several different brands under LANDU, we are aiming to provide you with a comprehensive chemical additives portfolio to consolidate your self-leveling compounds.

LANDU Additives - Optimize Your Self-Leveling Compounds

LANDERCOLL Cellulose Ethers for Self-Leveling Compounds

LANDERCOLL, a core brand under LANDU, specializes in cellulose ether manufacturing. LANDERCOLL Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) has emerged as a favorable additive in self-leveling compounds due to its moisture control ability, PH stability, enhanced adhesion, and improved workability. It can endow the compounds with better impermeability and durability, ensuring their long-term use.

ACCURATE Redispersible Latex Powder for Self-Leveling Compounds

LANDU ACCURATE offers high-quality Redispersible Latex Powder (Redispersible Polymer Powder) to make your self-leveling mortar have better performance in fluidity and durability. RDP powder can significantly improve the fluidity of self-leveling mortar, making it easier to lay and apply. This kind of adhesive powder can enhance the tensile strength and flexural strength of mortar, ensuring that the mortar is not prone to cracking when subjected to external forces.

NOVASTAR Additives for Self-Leveling Compounds

As a great innovation of LANDU, NOVASTAR develops diverse chemical additives. NOVASTAR additives for self-leveling compounds include Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer and Powder Defoamer. They can significantly improve the fluidity and fluidity retention of self-leveling mortar, and enhance its slump retention. At the same time, they can also reduce the bleeding phenomenon and ensure a smooth and beautiful surface after leveling.

Key Additives in Cement-Based Self-Leveling Compounds

Superplastifiant Polycarboxylate

Providing PCE powder and PEC flakes for many partners worldwide, NOVASTAR polycarboxylate superplasticizer ensures cement-based self-leveling compounds have excellent rheology under the condition of a low water-binder ratio and have good cohesiveness under the premise of high fluidity, preventing bleeding and segregation. It can significantly reduce the shrinkage rate of the system, keeping it in a slightly expanded state in most cases, thereby reducing the occurrence of engineering accidents of self-leveling products.

Défroisseur en Poudre

As a specialized chemical additive designed to control and eliminate foam, NOVASTAR powder defoamer can effectively reduce the bubble content in cement-based self-leveling compounds, which helps to increase the compactness of the material and intensify its final mechanical properties. It also improves the fluidity of cement-based self-leveling materials, enabling the compounds to better fill the formwork and level the surface.

Hydroxypropyl Méthyl Cellulose (HPMC)

LANDU LANDERCOLL Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose(HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether with high water retention capacity. It can delay water evaporation of cement-based self-leveling compounds, and thereby extend the construction operation time. This feature ensures operability and helps to achieve a higher level of construction flatness. By forming a protective film and enhancing the cohesiveness of the compounds, HPMC can reduce shrinkage cracks during the drying process, thereby improving the overall durability of the material.

Poudre de latex redistribuable (Poudre de polymère redistribuable)

LANDU ACCURATE RDP powder is a key additive in cement-based self-leveling compounds. It can enhance the fluidity of self-leveling compounds, making them easier to level and reducing hollowing and cracking during construction. Increase the bonding strength between compounds and the base layer. Enhance flexibility to prevent them from cracking easily when subjected to deformation or vibration of the base layer.

Key Additives in Gypsum-Based Self-Leveling Compounds

Superplastifiant Polycarboxylate

LANDU NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer, also called water reducer, is an important additive used in gypsum-based self-leveling compounds. It can significantly enhance the fluidity of the mortar, making it more suitable for self-leveling construction. By altering the properties of the solid-liquid interface, it helps to release the water encapsulated by gypsum, thereby reducing the water requirement of the mortar. Besides, it also involves the synergistic effect of electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance, which helps prevent direct contact between gypsum particles, forms a stable isolation film, and further improves the working performance of mortar.

Retardateur de Gypse

LANDU NOVASTAR Gypsum Retarder powder is an innovative chemical additive with amino groups. LANDU NOVASTAR gypsum retarder slows down the hydration of gypsum in self-leveling compounds. This delay allows the slurry to flow freely under gravity and achieve the required spreadability. It also provides a longer opening time, allowing workers to mix, pour, and spread the self-leveling compound evenly before it begins to set.

Avantages

Retarder le temps d'hydratation sans sacrifier la résistance
Contrôle de vitesse raisonnable
Aucun effet indésirable sur le cristal de gypse
Résistant aux fluctuations de la valeur du pH
Développement plus rapide et meilleur de la résistance
