Starch ether
Starch Ether
Starch ether decreases the mortar's stickiness on tools and enhances properties such as thixotropy, viscosity, and workability. Incorporating starch ether into mortar and gypsum products makes it easier to achieve a smoother and lighter consistency during application, significantly improving batch coating construction efficiency.
Benefits and Properties of Starch Ether
Improved Workability: Starch ether improves the thixotropy of mortar, making it more fluid during application and more viscous once applied, resulting in a smoother finish.
Increased Viscosity: Adding starch ether increases the mortar's viscosity, enhancing control during application and preventing drips and sagging.
Reduced Tool Adhesion: Starch ether reduces mortar adhesion to tools, making them easier to clean and reducing material waste.
Smoother Surfaces: Improved workability and viscosity lead to a smoother and more even finish, especially beneficial for gypsum products.
Applications in Mortar and Gypsum Products
Starch ether is used in various construction applications, including:
Mortar: Enhances workability and ensures even application on different surfaces.
Gypsum Products: Facilitates smoother application and a more uniform finish.
Self-leveling Compounds: Improves flow properties and ensures even distribution.
Tile Adhesives: Increases adhesion strength and ease of application.
