A methyl cellulose having a DS(methyl) of from 1.10 to 1.61 is useful for increasing the wet green modulus of an extrusion-molded hollow body, particularly an extrusion-molded hollow body having a ceramic honeycomb structure.

Composition for extrusion-molded bodies comprising a methyl cellulose

A mortar contains cement, one or more than one mineral additive, superplasticizer, aggregates, a hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose and water, wherein the hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose is characterized by the sum of its hydroxyethyl molecular substitution and methyl degree of substitution is 1.90 or higher and 2.30 or lower and its viscosity as a 2 weight-percent aqueous solution that is below 30,000 milliPascals*seconds.

Cellulose ethers, wherein at least a part of the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose backbone are substituted by methoxy groups and hydroxyalkoxy groups, and optionally alkoxy groups being different from methoxy groups, having an unconventional distribution of methoxy substituents at the 2-, 3- and 6-positions of the anhydroglucose units are described. Such cellulose ethers exhibit significantly higher thermoreversible gel strengths than any known hydroxyalkyl methyl celluloses of comparable viscosity and kind and level of substitution rendering them useful as additives for building compositions such as cement based tile adhesives. In particular, such cellulose ethers can be used to improve the attainable adhesion strength after heat storage conditioning and the temporal setting characteristics of a building composition.
