Cellulose Ethers for Construction Applications

*Optimizing performance in drymix mortars and water-based systems*

What Are Cellulose Ethers?

Cellulose ethers (HPMC, MHEC, HEC) are water-soluble polymers used to improve the workability, water retention, open time, and consistency of drymix mortars and coatings. Chemion AG provides high-performance grades tailored for various applications.

Application Areas

- Tile Adhesives (CTA)
- Joint Fillers (Tile Grouts)
- ETICS / EIFS Mortars
- Renders and Skim Coats
- Gypsum Plasters
- Water-Based Paints (for HEC grades)

Premium Grade Overview

Product Code	Type	Viscosity (mPa.s)	Features
