Starch ether is mainly used in construction mortar, which can affect the consistency of mortar based on gypsum, cement, change the construction and sag resistance of mortar. Starch ether are usually used in conjunction with non-modified and modified cellulose ethers. It is suitable for both neutral and alkaline systems, is compatible with most additives in gypsum and cement based products.

Starch ether is usually used in combination with methyl cellulose ether, which shows a good synergistic effect.

Adding an appropriate amount of starch ether to methyl cellulose ether can significantly improve the sag resistance and slip resistance of the mortar.

Adding an appropriate amount of starch ether to the mortar containing methyl cellulose ether can significantly increase the consistency of the mortar, improve the flow performance, making the construction smoother and the scraping smoother.

Adding an appropriate amount of starch ether to the mortar containing methyl cellulose ether can increase the water retention of the mortar and prolong the open time.

Starch ether can be soluble in water, compatible with other additives in dry mix mortar, like tile adhesive, repair mortar, plastering plaster, interior and exterior wall putty, gypsum-based Joint filling materials, masonry mortar and etc.
