Applications
For buyers and formulators who start from the end product rather than from the additive.
Dry-mix mortar
Dry-mix mortar and tile systems
10 lines. One additive set runs through all of them: HPMC for water retention and workability, RDP for adhesion and flexibility, starch ether for anti-sag, calcium formate for setting. What changes between lines is the ratio, not the toolbox.
Tile Adhesive
Water retention and anti-sag for C1 / C2 / C2TE classified adhesives.
Wall Putty
Smooth trowelling, crack resistance and open time for skim coats.
Gypsum Plaster
Controls setting time and water demand in machine-applied plasters.
Self-leveling
Flow control and anti-segregation for floor compounds.
EIFS / ETICS
Adhesion and flexibility in external insulation systems.
Masonry Mortar
Workability and water retention in rendering and brick mortars.
Cement Render
Water retention and open time in hand- and machine-applied render.
Tile Grout
Water retention and smooth tooling in cementitious tile grout.
Waterproof Mortar
Dense film formation and adhesion on wet substrates.
Joint Filler
Workability and controlled setting in gypsum joint compounds.
Paints and coatings
Paints and coatings
2 lines. Rheology modifiers decide flow, levelling and spatter. Which one fits depends on the binder system rather than on the pigment.
Interior Paint
Thickening, flow and levelling in interior emulsion paints.
Exterior Paint
Thickening and flow control in exterior emulsion and masonry paints.
Detergents
Detergents
1 line. Viscosity and suspension in a liquid concentrate, where the thickener has to stay stable in the bottle.
Liquid Detergent
Thickening and suspension in liquid detergent concentrates.
