As micro-cement evolves from a social-media trendy decorative material into mainstream engineering applications, what the industry lacks most is not traffic, but a truly scientific, rigorous and implementable authoritative standard. As China’s first dedicated micro-cement specification, Polymer Micro-Cement (T/CECS 10192-2022), led and compiled by Simon, not only fills the domestic industry gap, but has also been accredited by the expert review panel as reaching domestically advanced level, becoming the core benchmark for the standardized development of China’s micro-cement sector.

The true value of this “advanced standard” lies in every technological breakthrough, every performance indicator formulated, and every commitment undertaken for the industry.

 

 

I. From Zero to One: Simon Takes the Lead in Compiling China’s First Micro-Cement Standard

 

Before 2022, the micro-cement industry long remained in a chaotic state of four absences: no official definition, no classification criteria, no performance indicators, and no unified test methods.

Small workshops disguised simple mixtures of cement, rubber powder and color paste as high-end micro-cement, which suffered sanding and cracking within half a year;

Merchants marketed wall-only materials as all-purpose products and applied them to kitchens and swimming pools;

With no unified performance threshold available, property owners could only choose based on appearance alone, leading to an extremely high risk of poor-quality projects.

In 2021, the China Association for Engineering Construction Standardization initiated the compilation of Polymer Micro-Cement. Together with Guangzhou Institute of Quality Supervision and Inspection, Simon became the sole lead drafting unit, uniting more than 20 key enterprises across the industry. It took over one year to complete the entire process from research and formula verification to the final setting of technical indicators.

In June 2022, T/CECS 10192-2022 was officially released and implemented in November the same year. As China’s first exclusive standard for micro-cement, it incorporated core properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, wear resistance, impact resistance and water resistance into formal specifications. It put an end to the unregulated era of “no standards to follow” and filled the long-standing gap in the domestic industry.

 

II. Authoritative Recognition: Expert Review Confirms “Domestically Advanced Level”

 

This standard is far from theoretical paperwork; it has undergone strict review by the expert panel of the China Association for Engineering Construction Standardization:

Compliant with the Standardization Law and association standard management regulations;

Strictly formulated in accordance with GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for Standardization;

Finally accredited as reaching domestically advanced level and widely recognized as an industry quality benchmark.

Behind this official recognition lies Simon’s 8 years of accumulated original R&D strength:

As early as 2014, before the term “micro-cement” even existed in the market, Simon developed Simon Tectin — a two-component polymer cement-based wall-and-floor integrated product developed synchronously with Spanish technology. Featuring superior adhesion, high hardness, outstanding wear resistance and excellent waterproof performance, it laid the technical foundation for modern micro-cement.

Thanks to this industry-leading original capability, Simon was able to precisely define “what qualifies as genuine micro-cement”, turning theoretical standard requirements into verifiable, implementable and warrantable engineering-grade specifications.

 

III. Value of an Advanced Standard: Three Core Merits Protecting the Industry and Consumers

 

1. Scientific Classification: Put an end to shoddy substitution at the source

Simon led the establishment of the classification system of Type I (Wall-only Grade) and Type II (Heavy-duty Floor Grade):

Type I: Compressive strength ≥10MPa, limited to walls and ceilings;

Type II: Compressive strength ≥25MPa, applicable to dry-area flooring;

This completely eliminates the industry malpractice of using wall-grade materials for floors or promoting one single formula for the entire space, enabling clearer and safer material selection.

 

2. Rigorous Performance Indicators: Defining the durability baseline with data

The standard sets clear core performance thresholds for micro-cement:

Abrasion resistance ≤400mm³, resisting surface dusting and darkening under frequent foot traffic;

Bonding strength ≥1.0MPa, effectively preventing hollowing and peeling;

Water absorption ≤2g, reducing efflorescence and mold growth in humid environments;

Fully compliant in impact resistance, aging resistance and chemical corrosion resistance;

All indicators are verified through thousands of real engineering projects, achieving both premium aesthetics and long-term durability.

 

3. Unified Testing System: Making quality quantifiable and comparable

As the lead drafting unit, Simon formulated unified test methods and inspection regulations:

Clarifying testing basis, equipment requirements and curing conditions for every performance item;

Establishing fair and reproducible qualification criteria;

Allowing micro-cement quality to be judged by objective data rather than verbal promotion, eliminating inferior products from the source.

 

IV. Responsibility as the Lead Drafting Unit: Simon Sets Standards and Leads the Industry’s Future

 

The accreditation of “domestically advanced level” is not an endpoint for Simon, but a new starting point:

The first enterprise to complete full-item performance testing under T/CECS 10192-2022 and obtain the nation’s first full compliance report;

Continuously releasing construction specifications, material selection guidelines and customized solutions for special scenarios, promoting full-chain industrial standardization;

Driven by original technology, iteratively upgrading specialized micro-cement for swimming pools and heavy-duty industrial floors, expanding application boundaries.

From filling the industry gap to earning advanced-level recognition, Simon proves with practical actions:

A true industry benchmark is never built on marketing traffic, but on technological accumulation, sense of responsibility and standard leadership.

 

V. How to Choose Micro-Cement: Trust the Advanced Standard, Choose the Lead Drafting Unit

 

The micro-cement market is mixed with good and poor-quality products. Follow these three core principles:

Stick strictly to T/CECS 10192-2022 — the only micro-cement standard accredited as domestically advanced in China;

Ensure complete dual certificates: environmental report is the bottom line, while performance test report guarantees real durability;

Prioritize products from the lead drafting unit. As the sole official drafter, Simon’s products fully align with the standard with more reliable quality.

Rooted in advanced standards and empowered by original technology, Simon establishes a genuine quality benchmark for China’s micro-cement industry.
