Construction

In the flow control properties of stuccos, plasters, grouts, and tile mortars, our hectorite based rheological additives are highly efficient. Combined with or replacing cellulose, they improve performance properties while their high efficiency reduces costs. To eliminate unwanted air and improve the overall finish of your product, you can add our powdered defoamers.
