The present invention relates to a method for providing modified gypsum plaster or filling compositions having reduced agglomeration in comparison to gypsum plaster or filling compositions comprising cellulose ether in a specific amount from 0.1 to 1.0 weight percent, based on the total dry weight of said composition. Also provided are dry mortars comprising cellulose ether, gelatin and gypsum for use in such methods, and gypsum-free mixtures comprising cellulose ether and gelatin which may be added to gypsum binder for use a for use in such methods.

Method for reducing agglomeration in gypsum plaster or filling compositions comprising cellulose ether

The present invention provides cementitious tile adhesives comprising ordinary Portland cement, sand or another inorganic filler, and from 0.12 to 0.6 wt. % of total solids of one or more polyether group containing crosslinked cellulose ethers. The present invention also provides methods of making the polyether group containing crosslinked cellulose ethers comprising crosslinking a cellulose ether at 90&#xb0; C. or less, in an inert atmosphere, e.g. nitrogen, in the presence of a polyether group containing crosslinking agent and in the presence of alkali; the process may comprise part of a stepwise addition process of making of a cellulose ether itself in which the crosslinking of the cellulose ethers precedes at least one addition of alkyl halide or alkylene oxide to form, respectively, alkyl or hydroxyalkyl groups on the cellulose.

A new water-based inorganic binder composition includes inorganic binder, cellulose ether and microcrystalline cellulose. A new additive for water-based inorganic binder compositions includes cellulose ether and microcrystalline cellulose. A method for improving the properties of water-based inorganic binder compositions includes blending a combination of cellulose ether and microcrystalline cellulose in the water-based binder composition.

The present invention relates to methods for providing modified cement compositions having increased slip resistance and/or a decreased setting time in comparison to cement compositions comprising from 1 to 10 weight percent redispersible polymer powder (RDP) and water soluble cellulose ether in a specific amount from 0.1 to 1.0 weight percent, based on the total dry weight of said composition. Also provided are dry mortars comprising cement, RDP, water soluble cellulose ether and one or more additives selected from gelatin, bentonite and combinations thereof for use in such methods, and cement-free mixtures comprising water soluble cellulose ether and one or more additives selected from gelatin, bentonite and combinations thereof which may be added to cement binder for use a for use in such methods.

Method for providing modified cement compositions, dry mortars and cement-free mixtures

The present invention relates to polysaccharide derivatives having an adjusted particle morphology for use in the preparation of a hydraulic setting composition having an adjusted lump rating. The invention further relates to a method of adjusting the lump rating of a hydraulic setting composition comprising adjusting the particle morphology of a particulate polysaccharide derivative. Furthermore, the invention is directed to a hydraulic setting composition comprising a particulate polysaccharide derivative having an adjusted particle morphology. The invention is also directed to various uses of the particulate polysaccharide derivative having an adjusted particle morphology.
