Construction Applications

Functional Additive Solutions for European Building Material Manufacturers

Construction Applications

Construction applications cover a comprehensive range of wall, floor, and exterior facade systems—from substrate preparation to final decorative and protective finishes.

Our portfolio includes mainstream dry-mix mortars, gypsum-based materials, exterior insulation ETICS/EIFS, floor leveling compounds, and architectural coating solutions.

As a leading manufacturer based in China, LANDU tailors high-performance functional additives to suit European climatic conditions, local construction practices, and unified EN standards, helping material producers stabilize formula performance and improve on-site construction efficiency.

Landu-HPMC can enhance bonding strength.
