SE-22 Hydroxypropyl Starch Ether (HPS) For Anti-Sag Dry-Mix Mortars, Adhesives & Plasters

SE-22 Starch Ether is a Hydroxypropyl Starch Ether (HPS) additive designed to improve the workability (constructability) of building dry-mix systems. It delivers good sag resistance to help mixes hold on vertical surfaces and supports smoother application and finishing. SE-22 HPS is suitable for dry mixes such as mortars, adhesives, plasters, and roller plasters, and related construction formulations.

Key Benefits:

Easier Workability — Improves the constructability of dry-mix mortars for smoother mixing, spreading, and finishing.

Excellent Sag Resistance — Helps the mix hold on vertical surfaces, reducing slump and improving application stability.

Better Wettability — Enhances wetting during mixing and application for more consistent troweling and surface appearance.

Packaging & Delivery

  • Standard packaging:25 kg net paper bags or on cIients’ requirement
  • OEM or neutral packaging available upon request
  • Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 3 metric tons.
  • Typical lead time: 7–15 days after order confirmation
  • Trade terms: FOB / CIF / DDP under Incoterms® 2020

Storage and Shelf life

  • Store in a dry and cool place.
  • High humidity and temperature increase the risk of caking.
  • Do not stack pallets on top of each other to avoid compaction.
  • “Best use before end” date is on the label; storage beyond it doesn’t necessarily mean unusable, but required properties must be checked for quality assurance.
