CEMENT-BASED SYSTEMS USING WATER RETENTION AGENTS PREPARED FROM RAW COTTON LINTERS

摘要

A mixture composition of a cellulose ether made from raw cotton linters and at least one additive is used in a cement based dry mortar composition wherein the amount of the cellulose ether in the tile cement based dry mortar composition is significantly reduced. When this cement based mortar dry composition is mixed with water and applied to a substrate, the water retention, thickening behavior, and/or sag resistance of the wet mortar are comparable or improved as compared to when using conventional similar cellulose ethers.
