Specialized Products
for Superior Performance
in Construction and Coating

Our Headcel® products are essential components in many construction formulations, especially known for enhancing the performance of fast-setting cement applications. These products enable efficient processes like the thin-bed method for tile laying and the use of continuous plastering machines, significantly boosting productivity in construction projects.

Special Performance of Cellulose Ethers in Fast-Setting Cement

Unique Benefit: Reduced Retardation Time: Our cellulose ether formulations, particularly those designed for use in fast-setting cement, minimize the retardation time typically associated with cellulose additives. This means the setting time of cement is accelerated, allowing for quicker curing processes without sacrificing workability or adhesion. This is crucial for projects requiring rapid progression and early strength gain.

Enhanced Benefits for Construction and Coating

Headcel® products offer several advantages for both construction and coating applications:

Thin-Bed Method for Tile Laying

Facilitates efficient tile installation, reducing material use and enhancing bond strength.

Continuous Plastering Machines

Promotes consistent and productive mortar processing on construction sites.

Enhanced Stability and Pumpability

Aids in the application and handling of fresh mortars, reducing waste and labor costs.

Improved Adhesion and Homogeneity

Ensures reliable applications with enhanced finish quality.

Water Retention and Consistency

Improves material handling and durability by optimizing water retention and consistency.

Incorporating Headcel® cellulose ether products into your construction and coating formulations ensures superior performance, enabling rapid setting times, enhanced durability, and greater operational efficiency. This positions your projects to meet the highest standards of quality and speed, essential for modern construction demands.

Utilize our specialized technical support from our three European lab centers of technical excellence to tailor cellulose ether applications perfectly to your formulation requirements.
