can provide cellulose ether for construction application with competitive price and best service.

The cellulose ether is also known the rheology modifier, i.e., an additive used to adjust the rheological properties of fresh mortar. The main functions are as follows:

Cellulose ether is mainly used to retain water and increase smoothness. It can solve the doubts about drum cracking and initial strength during the construction process. Cellulose ether mainly plays the role of water retention, adhesion and smoothing.

Cement-based tile glue is an adhesive used to bond tiles to various substrates. Cellulose ether is an indispensable ingredient in the formulation of tile glue, whether it is basic tile glue or high-quality tile glue, cellulose Ether plays a vital role.

Overview of cellulose ether: Cellulose ether is a non-ionic semi-synthetic high molecular polymer. It has two types of water-soluble and solvent-based. The effects caused by different industries are different, such as in chemical building materials. It has the following compound effects:

Each cellulose ether has the basic structure of cellulose-anhydroglucose structure. In the process of producing cellulose ether, the cellulose fiber is first heated in an alkaline solution, and then treated with an etherifying agent. The fibrous reaction product is purified and ground to form a uniform powder with a certain fineness.

Generally speaking, the higher the viscosity, the better the water retention effect of gypsum mortar. However, the higher the viscosity, the higher the molecular weight of the cellulose ether, and the corresponding reduction in its solubility, which has a negative impact on the strength and construction performance of the mortar. The higher the viscosity, the more obvious the thickening effect on the mortar, but it is not proportional.

In ready-mixed mortar, only a little bit of cellulose ether can significantly improve the performance of wet mortar. It can be seen that cellulose ether is a major additive that affects the construction performance of mortar.

Cellulose ethers are classified according to the different products of the etherifying agent used. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, benzyl cyanoethyl cellulose Vegetarian, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, etc.
