Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal insulation mortar technology, specifically to a moisture-proof and thermal insulation mortar and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's construction industry, the demand for building materials is gradually increasing, and building materials with excellent thermal insulation properties are widely used. Among them, thermal insulation mortar, as an important material for exterior wall insulation and interior plastering, is favored by consumers due to its convenient construction, good adhesion to the substrate, and strong integrity.

[0003] Thermal insulation mortar typically refers to mortar made by mixing thermal insulation aggregates, cementitious materials, and admixtures in a certain proportion. Depending on the type of thermal insulation aggregate, it can be categorized into polystyrene particle (EPS) thermal insulation mortar, expanded perlite thermal insulation mortar, and vitrified microsphere thermal insulation mortar, among others. However, all of these thermal insulation mortars have varying degrees of defects. For example, thermal insulation mortars with expanded polystyrene particles, expanded perlite particles, or vitrified microspheres added to cement have poor waterproofing and crack-resistant properties. When the exterior wall cracks, water can seep into the wall along the cracks. Since water has a high thermal conductivity, the presence of water inside the wall significantly reduces its insulation performance. Furthermore, the presence of water inside the wall easily leads to mold growth and wall damage.

[0004] Furthermore, due to the low pull-out strength of ordinary cement mortar and its constant exposure to wind, sun, temperature, and humidity changes, stress concentration easily occurs in the wall's bonding layer, leading to hollow areas and, in severe cases, wall detachment. After detachment, rainwater enters the wall through cracks, damaging internal functional layers and ultimately causing mold growth and further wall damage. Fibers, as reinforcing materials, can effectively inhibit wall cracking and powdering, and improve strength when used in cement mortar. Polypropylene fibers, a hydrocarbon polymer, are commonly used in cement mortar to improve its various properties. However, polypropylene fibers have poor hydrophilicity, resulting in poor adhesion to the cement matrix. During mixing with cement mortar, polypropylene fibers are prone to agglomeration and difficulty in dispersion, thus affecting the mortar's performance. Therefore, providing a building mortar material that combines moisture resistance, mold prevention, and thermal insulation properties, while preventing wall powdering and detachment, is of great significance.
