Smart Functionality: Key raw materials to watch in construction for 2025-26

Smart Functionality covers formulation trends aimed at adding features to products that go beyond their primary functions — adding multi-colour and soft-touch effects, 3D printing, thermal insulation, improving renovation and maintenance, and adding water, fire, stain, fingerprint, and corrosion resistance.

They are used in flexible or rigid mineral sealing slurries to enhance waterproofing. They improve the watertightness of the slurries and contribute to the product's flexibility, ensuring effective sealing in various construction applications.
