Powder Construction Materials

All about powdered building materials

Building materials are the main components of construction without which a building can not be constructed. In fact, building materials are materials that are used during the construction of a building and in different parts of it. According to their structure and application, these materials are divided into different sections, some of which are:
Prefabricated materials
Powder construction materials
Composite materials
Metal materials
Wood materials
Stone materials
And ...

Each of these building materials has special properties that are different in how they are used. Powder construction materials are among the most practical and it can be said that they are necessary to use them in all parts of a building. Powder materials should be mixed and used with other lubricants or additives as they have no specific application alone.

What is meant by powdered building materials?

Powder construction materials are the key and main construction component that have many applications from the beginning of the construction of a building to its end and play an important role in the strength and durability of the building. As the name implies, powdered materials are materials that are found in the form of powder or very fine grains.
In many cases, to use these materials, they are mixed with water or other materials. Some powdered materials are initially in the form of fine grains or large stones that are converted into powder using various methods.

Application of powder materials in different parts of a building

Powder building materials, in addition to having many applications directly in various parts of a building, also play an important role in the construction of prefabricated materials. In other words, powdered materials are the main components of prefabricated materials.

For example, lime and gypsum are among the main and important materials that make up concrete, and materials such as beams and concrete blocks are also made of concrete. As a result, you can use powder materials in addition to connecting other materials to each other, in the manufacture of prefabricated materials, concrete, cement and ....

Types of powdered building materials

• All building materials that are in the form of powder or fine grains are called powder materials. With this definition of powdered materials, it is clear that many of the main construction materials are powdered materials. Of course, in the past, the number of powder materials was much higher than now, but today, due to the lack of use of low-quality materials in construction, they use modified and quality powder materials. Some of the powder materials that are also very practical are:
  Mortar
  Sand
  Plaster
  And ...

To make you more familiar with powder materials, here are some of the most important ones.

Mortar and its applications

• One of the main uses of mortars is to glue and bond building materials together. There are two types of mortar ready and unprepared, which engineers use according to the existing conditions. Mortars that are not ready-made are usually composed of adhesives, fillers and lubricants, all of which, such as cement, lime, gypsum, sand, etc., are powdered materials.

Mortar is not only used to connect bricks or concrete blocks, but also to connect other components of a building, including tiles, paving, cladding, arching, whitewashing, etc. Mortars are available in different types depending on the materials to be used in their connection, some of which are:
Sand and cement mortar
Gypsum mortar and soil
Gypsum mortar
Mortar mortar
Sand and lime mortar
Plaster and sand mortar
And ...

Plaster and how to use it in construction

Gypsums are found in the form of gypsum in nature. Of course, gypsum is used in the construction of powdered gypsum, which is why it is in the category of powdered building materials. Gypsum, like other powdered materials, requires a lubricant such as water, and because of its white color, it is a little difficult to work with.

For example, when gypsum is used for whitewashing indoors, great attention should be paid to how the plaster is dried and prevented from cracking. In general, gypsum, because it is white, is used to cover a surface and show that space beautifully.
