Starch Ether

Generic Starch

Starch ether modified from potato, corn, cassava, etc. has significantly lower water retention than cellulose ether. Due to the different degree of modification, there is variation in terms of stability to acid and alkali. Some products are suitable for use in plaster-based mortars, while others can be used in cement-based mortars.

Guar Ether

Guar gum ether, modified from natural guar beans, is a kind of starch ether with special properties. Production is done through the etherification reaction of guar gum and acrylic functional group, forming a polygalactomannose structure containing 2-hydroxypropyl functional groups.

Modified Mineral Water Retention Thickener

Water-retaining thickeners made of natural minerals through modification and compounding are widely used in China. The main minerals used here are sepiolite, bentonite, montmorillonite, kaolin, etc. These minerals have certain water-retaining and thickening properties through modification such as coupling agents.
