Why should Wet Wooden Formwork before Pouring Concrete

Q: Why should wet wooden formwork before pouring concrete?


A: Wet wooden formwork before pouring concrete is to prevent the formwork from absorbing the moisture in the concrete, which may affect the molding quality and strength of the concrete. The wooden formwork will absorb the moisture in the concrete, especially when at the beginning of pouring, if the formwork is not fully watered and moistened, it will reduce the fluidity of the concrete, and it may easily harden in a short time, and pitting will appear after the formwork removed.


In addition, fully watered wooden formwork will tight the gaps and it is not easy to leak grout, and able to avoid edges and corners.

Wood plastic composite is a kind of high-tech and environment-friendly composite material made of wood fiber and thermoplastics such as PE, PP, PVC, or PLA. After heating and extruding, it has properties and characteristics of both wood and plastic.    Wood-plastic flooring is made of  wpc decking  materials, with the same processing characteristics as wood. It can be sawed, drilled and nailed with ordinary tools and can be used like ordinary wood. At the same time, it has the texture of wood and the water resistance and corrosion resistance of plastic, making it a kind of excellent performance and very durable outdoor waterproof and anti-corrosion building material. Physical properties: good strength, high hardness, anti-slip, wear resistance, no cracking, no moth, low water absorption, aging resistance, corrosion resistance, anti-static and ultraviolet, insulation, heat insulation, flame retardant, can resist 75℃ high temperature and -40℃ low temperature. Environmental performance: e

How to Distinguish the Quality of Particle Board

图片
Particle board   has been widely used in home decoration. The furniture made by particle board manufacturers has a sense of hierarchy and clear texture. However, there are so many kinds of particle board products on the market. How to distinguish the quality of particle board when purchasing? Following us to know about it. 1. Appearance. Checking the product brand logo, the color of high-quality particle board is uniform. There is no obvious color difference and no points, block spots. Checking in the bright place, to see whether there are dry flowers, wet flowers, air bubbles, bulging and other problems, in a darker place, tilt the plate to check whether the surface is smooth or not and whether there are obvious seams and deformation problems. 2. Thickness and layer. A good substrate has a uniform thickness, good layering, no voids and overlaps. Secondly, depending on the thickness and material, measure the thickness of the board, the thickness of particle board is 15-18MM. 3. Product
