Polysulphide Sealant

Image
http://www.applechemie.com/ Polysulphide Sealant offered is based on liquid poly sulphide polymers that help in providing superior adherence to most of basic civil engineering materials including glass, wood, cementitious substrates, aluminum, mild steel and others. Further, its superior finish also makes it useful for sealing of door-window surrounding joints, expansion joints, floor concrete as well as in meeting the demands of wall masonry separation joints. The constitution helps in achieving rubber like material in pourable consistency after mixing base component as well as the curing agent in defined proportions. Applications: ·          Vertical as well as overhead expansion joints suitable for use in commercial, residential buildings and Industrial areas ·          Joints suitable for use in subways, flyovers, concrete roads bridges as well as in airport runways ·   ...

Waterproofing Membrane

Image
http://www.applechemie.com/ A waterproofing membrane is a thin layer of water-tight material that is laid over a surface. This layer is continuous and does not allow water to pass through it. For example, on a flat terrace, a waterproofing membrane could be laid above the structural slab and below the finish tiles. This will ensure that water does not seep into the structural slab. The tiles and membrane must be laid over a filler material that is sloped to ensure that water flows into sumps and drains. Any water that remains as puddles over the tiles is likely to seep into the slab over time, so puddles are to be avoided at all costs. These membranes are composed of thin layers of waterproof material. Most are about 2 to 4mm thick. There are essentially 2 types of membranes, sheet based membranes and liquid applied membranes. Ideally, a waterproofing membrane should be strong, flexible, tear-resistant and elastic so that it can stretch to cover cracks and also move with the bu...

Estimating Structural Steel Cost for Construction Projects

Image
http://www.applechemie.com/ Structural steel prices can vary widely, even just from one day to the next. Considering that major construction projects take months to years to complete, failure to account for potential fluctuations across the proposed time span of the project can throw your budget and the entire project into a tailspin. Having a good and accurate estimate is crucial to competitively bidding and winning major projects, but unexpected purchase prices for the steel can whittle away at your bottom line at the end of the road, compromising the value of any win to your own bottom line. Here are a few tips and some examples on how to arrive at the best estimate for structural steel. Some Things to Keep in Mind Material purchase location and quantity being purchased are central considerations when estimating structural steel. Warehouse prices generally apply to small orders, while mill prices apply to large orders, and pricing for each respective type ...
