Gypsum Joint Compound

Gypsum is a well-established building material for interior applications. Gypsum-based joint compounds are used to fill joints between gypsum drywall or gypsum fiberboard. KimaCell cellulose ether is an essential additive for achieving optimum performance in every application of gypsum plaster. It has good workability and its setting time can be adapted to various applications as required. The gypsum building material creates a comfortable living atmosphere thanks to a good humidity balance.

Advantages Of Cellulose Ether In Gypsum-based Joint Compounds

• Good water retention: prevention of fluid loss to the substrates, the appropriate water content is kept in mixture which guarantees longer concreting time.

• Increased water demand: increased open time, expanded spry area and more economical formulation.

• Easier spreading and improved sagging resistance due to improved consistency.

• Water retention: maximized water content in slurry.

• Anti-sagging: when spreading a thicker coat corrugation can be avoided.
