What is wall putty?
Wall putty is an indispensable building material in the decoration process. It is the basic material for wall repair or leveling, and it is also a good basic material for subsequent painting or wallpapering work.

According to its users, it is generally divided into two types: non-finished putty and dry-mixed putty. Non-finished putty has no fixed packaging, no uniform production standards, and no quality assurance. It is generally made by workers on the construction site. The dry-mixed putty is produced according to a reasonable material ratio and mechanized method, which avoids the error caused by the on-site ratio of the traditional process and the problem that the quality cannot be guaranteed, and can be used directly with water.

What are the ingredients of wall putty?
Typically, wall putty is calcium lime or cement based. The raw materials of putty are relatively clear, and the amount of various ingredients needs to be scientifically matched, and there are certain standards.
Wall putty generally consists of base material, filler, water and additives. The base material is the most critical part of the wall putty, such as white cement, limestone sand, slaked lime, redispersible latex powder, cellulose ether, etc.
What is Cellulose Ether?
Cellulose ethers are water-soluble polymers derived from cellulose, the most abundant natural polymers, with additional thickening effects, better processability, lower viscosity, longer open time, etc.
Cellulose Ether
Divided into HPMC (Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), HEMC (Hydroxyethylmethylcellulose) and HEC (Hydroxyethylcellulose), divided into pure grade and modified grade.
Why is cellulose ether an integral part of wall putty?
In the wall putty formula, cellulose ether is a key additive to improve performance, and the wall putty added with cellulose ether can provide a smooth wall surface. It ensures easy processability, long pot life, excellent water retention, etc.
