Choose Products by Application and Formulation Need
Use this table as a starting point. Final grade and dosage must be confirmed through formulation and application testing.
| Application | Common formulation need | Product families to evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Tile Adhesive | Water retention, open time, slip control, adhesion and flexibility | HPMC or MHEC + RDP; HPS may support rheology |
| Wall Putty / Skim Coat | Workability, water retention, bonding and crack-resistance support | HPMC or MHEC + RDP or PVA; HPS may support consistency |
| Dry-Mix Mortar / Render | Workability, consistency, water retention and durability | HPMC or MHEC + RDP; HPS for rheology adjustment |
| Gypsum Products | Workability, consistency and controlled water retention | HPMC or MHEC; RDP and HPS depending on formulation |
| EIFS / ETICS & Repair Mortar | Adhesion, flexibility and durability support | RDP + HPMC or MHEC |
| Paints & Coatings | Thickening, rheology and storage stability | HEC or selected cellulose ether grades |
| Self-Leveling Compounds | Flow, stability, water retention and polymer modification | Cellulose ether + RDP based on formulation requirements |

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cellulose ether should I choose for tile adhesive or mortar?
The choice depends on the binder system, required water retention, viscosity, open time, workability and local raw materials. Share your formulation and performance target so the relevant product family and candidate grades can be reviewed.
Can HPMC or MHEC be used together with RDP and HPS?
These additives are often evaluated together in dry-mix systems because they contribute different functions. Compatibility and dosage must be confirmed through formulation testing.
How can I request a sample or grade recommendation?
Send the application, current formulation challenge, target performance, destination market and expected order quantity through the contact page.
Do you provide technical documents?
Contact the team with the exact product and grade you are evaluating to confirm which technical and commercial documents are available.
Is the dosage shown on this page final?
No. Product selection and dosage depend on the complete formulation, raw materials, process and application conditions. Laboratory and field evaluation are required before scale-up.
