The role of cellulose ether in wall putty application

Released on Feb. 12, 2025

The role of cellulose ether in putty mainly includes the following aspects:


  1. 1.Water Retention
    Cellulose ether effectively retains water, preventing the putty from drying too quickly and ensuring sufficient working time during application.


  2. 2.Thickening Effect
    It increases the viscosity of the putty, improving its application performance and preventing sagging, resulting in a more even application.


  3. 3.Improved Workability
    Cellulose ether enhances the lubricity and smoothness of the putty, making application easier and reducing tool resistance.


  4. 4.Enhanced Adhesion
    It improves the bonding strength between the putty and the substrate, reducing the risk of cracking and peeling.


  5. 5.Anti-Sag Properties
    Cellulose ether enhances the anti-sag properties of the putty, preventing it from sliding down when applied on vertical surfaces.


  6. 6.Improved Stability
    It helps maintain the stability of the putty during storage, preventing separation and sedimentation.


  7. 7.Enhanced Crack Resistance
    Cellulose ether increases the flexibility of the putty, reducing the likelihood of cracking after drying.


  8. 8.Adjustable Drying Time

  9. By controlling the rate of water evaporation, cellulose ether can adjust the drying time of the putty to suit different application needs.
