Many friends in the concrete business community have always been very confused about whether to continue to use traditional cement mortar to moisten pipes or to use lubricant to moisten pipes. Why can’t everyone make up their mind? The key to the problem is that no one has compared these two methods of lubrication. Cement mortar has been used for decades and everyone is used to it. Lubricant is a polymer material. It is a new type of pipe lubrication method. Many people have never used it. They may have only heard of it. There are also some construction companies and commercial concrete mixing stations that are brave enough to try changes and have been using it. Which method of lubrication is better and more cost-effective? As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Next, we will compare the two methods of lubrication. I believe the results will be clear at a glance.
Moisturizing agent | Cement mortar moisturizing |
Saving costs Every use The cost is only a few yuan, which is only 10% of the cement mortar lubrication pipe. It can save 600,000 costs for a medium-sized commercial concrete station and 800,000 costs for a large commercial concrete station every year. | High cost of use The ex-factory price of cement mortar is between 250 and 300. Including the transportation cost of the vehicle, the cost of maintenance each time is not less than 500 yuan. If the journey is long, the cost will increase. |
Easy to use You only need water at the construction site to moisten the pipes. One person can complete it alone, and there are no complicated construction links. | The piping process is complicated Shang Concrete Station needs to stir one side separately before mixing. Mortar also requires a separate mixer truck to be transported to the construction site, which not only increases labor costs, but also reduces the output efficiency of equipment and vehicles. |
Safe and reliable The lubrication solution after lubrication is discharged directly outside the formwork, and is not mixed into the concrete and will not cause safety hazards to the building structure. | There are safety hazards For the convenience of construction, most construction units directly finish the The cement mortar of the pipe is poured into the structure. The strength of the cement mortar and concrete are not comparable, directly burying safety risks. |
Environmental protection and energy saving The raw materials for the production of lubricants are mainly polymer chemical raw materials. The material itself will not cause pollution to the environment and is an environmentally friendly material. It has the advantages of saving It has the reputation of saving money, time, effort, environmental protection, energy saving and so on! | Lack of competitive advantage In bidding, cement mortar is used to moisten pipes The cost will definitely exceed that of the lubricant, and the commercial concrete station will also transfer these costs to the bidding unit.Commercial concrete stations that use lubricant to moisten pipes can quote lower prices, and the advantages are very obvious. |
Through the above comparison, it is easy to see that the advantages of moisturizing agent are very obvious, and it can be said that it completely beats the traditional Cement mortar for pipe moistening. A friendly reminder to everyone, if you plan to use a lubricant to moisturize your pipes, you must choose a good quality lubricant. Don't try to be cheap. As the old saying goes, cheap lubricants are not good. A lubricating agent of poor quality will not have the same lubrication effect. If the requirements are not met, it is very easy to cause pipe blockage. Pipe blockage is the last thing that concrete merchants want to see, so hidden dangers must be eliminated at the source.
