The invention relates to a low-consumption stone-like
coating and a preparation method thereof. The stone-like
coating is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by
mass: 100-120 parts of water, 1-3 parts of
hydroxyethyl cellulose, 0.3-0.5 parts of a multi-functional additive, 120-140 parts of
acrylate emulsion, 1-2 parts of a bactericidal
preservative, 3.5-4.5 parts of a freeze-thaw resistant stabilizer, 3-4 parts of a coalescing agent, 0.2-0.5 parts of an alkali swelling thickene, 300-600 parts of sand, 100-300 parts of color sheets, 0.2-4.0 parts of a pH
regulator, 10.0-40.0 parts of silica
sol, 20.0-90.0 parts of
styrene-acrylic
emulsion, 40-60 parts of a slipping agent, 1-2 parts of an anti-freezing agent and 1-2 parts of a water-based defoaming agent. According to the invention, proper
cellulose is screened out from different celluloses and is reasonably matched with the
emulsion, so that the stability and
constructability of a product are improved, and the
water retention property and thixotropic property of the
system are improved; the acrylic ester emulsion is selected, so that the problem that a stone-like
coating using common
styrene-acrylic emulsion is easy to yellow is effectively solved; and the problem that
color difference between batches is difficult to control can be effectively solved through application of the color sheets.
