How to Choose Cellulose Ether for Dry-mix Mortar Applications?

The biggest difference between dry mix mortar and traditional mortar is that it is modified with a small amount of chemical additives. Adding one additive to the dry mortar is called primary modification, two or more additives are high modified.

The quality of dry mix mortar depends on the correct choice of ingredients and their coordination and matching. Because chemical additives are more expensive and have a greater impact on the performance of dry mortar. Therefore, when selecting additives, the amount of additives should be given top priority. This article mainly introduces the selection method of chemical additive cellulose ether.

Cellulose ether is a chemical additive used to adjust the rheological properties of mortar and is used in almost every type of mortar, like tile adhesive, skim coat & wall putty, renders and plasters ... The following properties should be considered when selecting its variety and addition amount:

In addition to adding Cellulose Ether (such as methyl cellulose ether) to dry-mixed mortar, it can also be added to Dispersible polymer powder (RDP). Inorganic binders (cement, gypsum) in mortar can ensure high compressive strength, but have little effect on tensile and flexural strength. The dispersible polymer powder (RDP) establishes an elastic film in the cement stone hole, so that the mortar can bear high deformation load and improve the wear resistance. Mixing the two products can not only improve the quality of the mortar, but also greatly improve the construction efficiency.

In practical applications, in order to improve the comprehensive performance, a variety of chemical additive or admixtures are required to be used in combination. There is an optimal matching ratio between each type. As long as the dosage range and ratio are appropriate, it can highly improve the performance of the mortar from different aspects.
