Main Applications of Starch Ether - Construction Chemical Auxiliaries

Pregelatinized starch is a form of deep processing of ordinary starch. It is obtained by extrusion, heating, expansion, and then crushing. The starch obtained in this way is called pregelatinized starch, also known as alpha starch (α-starch) (a-starch).

The main functions of pregelatinized starch are thickening, viscosity, bonding, solution thickening, good water solubility, suspension or stability with glue, protective colloid effect, film-forming, water retention, bonding performance, non-toxic, tasteless, biocompatible, thixotropic, etc.

Another feature is environmental protection. Starch is an organic substance, edible and degradable. Therefore, it is usually used as an environmentally friendly adhesive in industry.

Most mortar is applied onto the surface of buildings.It has a very large contact area with the surrounding environment, so that the moisture in mortar is very easy to lose. In addition, the used site of mortar is not easy for conservation. And mortar is a brittle material, so the most quality problem prone to occur is cracking of mortar,This article introduces three reasons about it.
A retarder is an additive that reduces the hydration rate and heat of hydration of cement or gypsum, and prolongs the setting time. This article mainly introduces the classification of retarders and their role in mortar.
