In Malaysia, developers and contractors in the construction industry still use the traditional methods practised by their predecessors. Many are still using site mix cement mortar in construction, and this is common in every construction site you visit. It is not surprising that site mix cement mortar has contributed to high material wastage. The quality of sand used, uncontrollable use of additives, and inconsistent mixing, all also contribute to inferior cement mortar produced. It is time consuming to manage, labour intensive, and when handled by unskilled workers, can lead to a messy job site.
On the other hand, there is drymix cement mortar, which is a mixture of cement, sand and additive. It is a dry mixed cement mortar, where the dry materials are mixed well and supplied in bag form. The dry mixture can only be used after water is added and uniformly mixed on the construction site.
The main difference between site mix and drymix cement mortar is when the water is added. In large cities, there is always limited space for accessibility and storage. Therefore, it is not possible to do site mix at every level in a high-rise building. This is where drymix helps to address all the issues. Construction pain points, such as messy job sites can be addressed with simple mixing and consistent quality, with reduced need for labour intensive work. Defects such as hollowness, cracks, popping tiles and falling tiles can be prevented, averting project delays.ARTICLE NIPPON PAINT in B&I Website_compressed
