Mineral origin
The manual describes marble powder and other mineral inputs from Hezhou, including the use of stone-processing by-products in wall materials.
145# / INORGANIC NEW MATERIALS
More than a finish.
A mineral wall system.
Starting with mineral ingredients including marble powder from Hezhou, 145# connects masonry, thin plaster, functional mortars and mineral finishes. Product documents support its material, application and environmental information.

MINERALS AT THE HEART OF THE WALL
Mineral materials do more than change a wall’s colour.
Built around mineral ingredients including marble powder, the 145# range connects masonry, thin plaster, functional mortars and decorative finishes. Its focus goes beyond appearance to bonding, application and the needs of each wall.
145# / MINERAL MATERIALS
Bonding with the substrate
The manufacturer describes penetration, silicification and anchoring. A suitable, well-prepared substrate and product-specific application remain essential.
From base to finish
Masonry and plaster mortars, functional layers and mineral finishes are selected for the wall and project, rather than changing only the final coat.
RESOURCE USE · INDOOR TESTING · THIRD-PARTY DATA
Environmental choices, backed by specific evidence.
From Hezhou stone powder to emissions testing, green building certification and environmental declarations, each environmental claim should be read with its product and report scope.

START WITH THE WALL
Hollowing, damp and efflorescence start beneath the finish.
Wall problems often involve the substrate, material interfaces and application details. The 145# range offers coordinated options from masonry and plaster mortars to functional coats and mineral finishes.
Hollowing, cracks and peeling
Start with a sound substrate and bond
Check soundness, cracks and moisture. Match 145# masonry mortar to new blockwork, then level with thin-coat plaster mortar as specified. Repair loose or hollow areas on existing walls first.
Seepage, damp and efflorescence
Trace the water source, then specify by location
Address leaks and waterproofing details first. Where water resistance is needed, select the corresponding 145# waterproof mortar and compatible finish. Verify vapour and impermeability claims for each product.
Too many interfaces between trades
Combine levelling and finish where suitable
Selected dry-powder mineral products can combine parts of levelling and finishing on suitable substrates, reducing material interfaces. Joints, repairs and waterproofing still follow project requirements.
A flat surface with little character
Build texture with mineral grains and craft
Moonlight White, Pearl White, Han White Stone and Yellow Dragon Stone support smooth, sprayed, pressed and stone-like effects. Confirm grain, colour and location with a physical sample.
Challenges and product directions are based on the 145# manual; process integration follows the system brochure. Specify the actual build-up against site conditions and product data. Read the original PDF ↗
THE BOND IS THE STARTING POINT
A bond with the mineral substrate.
The product manual describes penetration, silicification and anchoring for the 145# system. This simplified section illustrates how that differs from a typical resin-emulsion film.
Schematic, not microscopy. It does not indicate penetration depth or formulation proportions.
- 01
Start with the substrate
Check the soundness, moisture condition and cleanliness of a suitable mineral substrate.
- 02
Establish the bond
According to the product literature, silicification at the interface creates a zone of bonding with the substrate.
- 03
Complete the finish
Compatible preparation, thickness and application work together to influence adhesion, texture and the finished surface.
FROM SEPARATE LAYERS TO A COORDINATED SYSTEM
Fewer separate stages. More coordinated materials.
On suitable substrates, selected integrated base-and-finish products can combine parts of the levelling and finishing work. The diagrams below redraw the typical sequences in the system brochure.
Typical putty + emulsion paint
Separate materials, coordinated in layers
Provides the final colour and surface effect; performance depends on the formulation.
145# integrated base + finish
Selected products combine levelling and finish
Selected 145# dry-powder mineral products combine levelling and finishing where specified, reducing interfaces between separate materials.
The diagrams show material order, not actual thickness. Repairs, interface treatment, joint reinforcement and waterproofing details depend on the substrate and project requirements.

| Consideration | Typical putty + emulsion paint | 145# integrated base + finish |
|---|---|---|
| Bonding | Typically forms a resin-emulsion film on the prepared surface. | The literature describes silicification and anchoring with a suitable mineral substrate. |
| Process | Separate plaster, levelling, putty, primer and topcoat stages. | Selected dry-powder products combine levelling and finishing within the specified system. |
| Moisture vapour | Vapour permeability and water resistance vary with resin, film thickness and substrate. | The mineral system emphasises microporous vapour transport; select the appropriate product for water resistance. |
| Appearance | Colour, sheen and texture vary with the selected topcoat. | Mineral grains and application techniques create natural surface texture. |
| Substrate fit | Check compatibility across the putty, primer and topcoat specifications. | Uses compatible mineral materials; existing walls, tiles and special details require assessment. |
This compares typical systems, not every emulsion or inorganic coating. Use the selected product’s technical data, test reports and application requirements for specification.
WHAT MAKES THE SYSTEM DISTINCT
The difference is in the material and the method.
The 145# range brings mineral powders, two-component mortars and multiple finishes into one selection path: assess the substrate and location, then specify bonding, levelling, water resistance and texture. Verify performance against the selected product’s data and reports.
One coordinated material path
Masonry, plaster, tile-setting and functional mortars connect with mineral finishes across the wall build-up.
Two-component mineral mortars
The manual describes AB two-component products mixed with water without separately adding sand; follow each product’s stated ratio.
Bonding with the mineral base
The manual describes penetration, silicification and anchoring with suitable mineral substrates; assess existing or unusual walls first.
Integrated base and finish
Suitable dry-powder products combine some levelling and finishing stages while retaining required repairs and waterproofing.
Performance by product
Thin-coat mortar has water-retention, bond and shrinkage data; verify water and fire requirements in each relevant product report.
Mineral texture you can sample
Moonlight White, Pearl White and stone-inspired finishes offer fine, sprayed and relief textures to confirm with a physical sample.

Three things to clarify before specifying.
Can it be applied directly to an existing wall or tiles?
Assess soundness, adhesion, moisture and contamination first. Treat loose, hollow or leaking areas before the technical team specifies materials and interface treatment.
Does integration eliminate waterproofing or reinforcement?
No. Integration combines suitable materials and stages; it does not replace waterproofing design, joint details, structural repair or necessary mesh reinforcement. Follow the project specification.
How do I confirm colour, texture and performance?
Select the specific product and review its technical data and full test reports. Use a physical sample and site trial to confirm colour, texture, thickness and substrate suitability.
