Is the caulking agent better or colored sand?

The caulking agent is an upgraded product of the caulking agent, and the epoxy colored sand is the latest fifth-generation product in the caulking agent, which combines the high technology of the industry and has top performance standards.

Advantages and disadvantages of epoxy colored sand are as follows:

First, advantages:

1, the material is environmentally friendly.

Epoxy colored sand adopts water-based formula, and the added ingredients are more environmentally friendly, just like water-based sewing workers on the market. Rinse with clean water before curing. The pigment particles of epoxy colored sand are more obvious, and a large amount of natural sand is added to make the sewing effect more natural.

2, the construction is simple

The construction of colored sand is very simple, all kinds of ceramic tiles can be used, and there is no need to press and shovel glue, and the ceramic tiles with rough surfaces do not need to be pasted with masking paper. Colored sand is particularly friendly to mosaic tiles, which saves a lot of trouble in construction and solves many cracks at one time. Scrubbing is the last step of colored sand construction, so it saves a lot of time without waiting for curing and cleaning.

If a large amount of epoxy colored sand is taken out when you wipe it with scouring pad after a period of construction, it shows that the adhesion of epoxy colored sand is not strong. At this time, you still need to ask the master if the epoxy colored sand used is not up to standard.

The curing time of epoxy colored sand will change with the change of air temperature, but it will be shorter in such hot weather in summer. If the construction of epoxy colored sand is slow, it is very likely that the mixed epoxy colored sand will start to solidify before it is used up. Therefore, after the summer construction time, the small bag construction can effectively avoid the curing of epoxy colored sand.

In addition, the construction technology of epoxy colored sand also determines that the joints of epoxy colored sand filled bricks will be fuller. In the construction of epoxy colored sand, the epoxy colored sand is pressed into the brick joint with a scraper, which is of great pressure and can better fill the brick joint. The caulking agent is driven into the brick joint with a glue gun. Although there are pressure seams behind, it is inevitable that there will be empty drums, which will easily collapse after a long time.

3, saving materials and being reusable.

The evenly mixed colored sand needs to be filled into the gap with a scraper, and it is inevitable that a large amount of colored sand will stick to the tile. Excess colored sand on the surface can be continuously used and filled into other gaps, which saves materials and will not cause waste.

4, stronger adhesion and long service life

By adjusting the ratio of curing agent to epoxy resin, the color sand has better viscosity and stronger adhesion, and the color sand can fully contact with the cracks of ceramic tiles, which is not easy to be damaged and fall off, and the service life is longer.

Second, the shortcomings:

1, colored sand cannot be diluted with water after curing.

The colored sand can't be mixed with water when mixing. Any brand of colored sand is the same, and the colored sand needs to be used up within the specified time. Don't mix too much in one construction, it is easy to solidify. If the colored sand cannot be diluted with water before use after curing, it will affect the curing effect of the colored sand in the later period and cause long-term drying.

2, the complete curing time is longer

It takes longer for colored sand to be completely cured than caulking agent, because colored sand can be divided into surface curing and complete curing. The colored sand that can contact the air will cure quickly, generally it takes about 36 hours for the surface to cure, and about 7 days for the cracks to cure completely.
