Hydroxypropyl Starch Ether (HPS)

MikaZone® Hydroxypropyl Starch Ether is an additive that imparts valuable properties to cement and gypsum-based products. It shares a similar chemical structure with Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), giving it comparable functionality and ensuring good compatibility with other construction additives. When combined with HPMC, it enhances the thickening properties, improves crack resistance, and increases the overall workability of the mixture. Additionally, it helps reduce the overall cost of mortar formulations, making it an efficient choice for construction applications.
