Cellulose Ether

Cellulose ethers are water-soluble, powdered polymers obtained by chemically modifying natural cellulose. This product group includes various derivatives such as HEC, EHEC, MEHEC, HPMC, and CMC, and is widely used across multiple industries including construction chemicals, paint, plaster, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, food, and personal care.

Applications and Advantages

In Paint Systems, Cellulose Ethers Offer:

• Improved water retention capacity,
• Enhanced rheology control,
• Better storage stability,
• Improved flow, leveling, and spatter resistance,
• Uniform color distribution and better color acceptance,
• Increased opacity with modified grades,
• A smoother surface texture.

In paint production, they can be added to the formulation as powder, paste, or stock solution depending on the process and intended use.

In Construction Chemicals, Applications Include:

• Gypsum and cement-based adhesives and repair mortars,
• Tile grouts,
• Insulation plasters,
• Self-leveling floor compounds,
• ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems),
• Gypsum plasters,
• Machine and hand-applied gypsum renders.

In Cement and Gypsum-Based Systems, Cellulose Ethers Help to:

• Increase water retention capacity,
• Improve adhesion strength,
• Extend pot life and open time,
• Enhance workability with anti-slip and crack-resistance properties

Sustainability

Produced from renewable sources and using solvent-free processes, cellulose ethers offer a low carbon footprint, contributing to environmentally friendly solutions.
