Hydroxypropyl starch ether (HPS) is made from modified starch. It is used to adjust how mortar and putty behave during mixing and application.
Main Functions
- Increases consistency and helps mortar stay in place on vertical surfaces.
- Helps reduce wall-tile slipping during installation.
- Makes mortar and putty easier to spread and trowel.
- Helps keep the mix uniform by reducing separation and settling.
Uses
Tile adhesives, wall putties, plastering mortars, cement mortars and mortars for exterior insulation systems.
