Gypsum hand plaster is a popular material used for interior rendering of buildings, especially during smaller renovations. The pre-mixed dry mortar typically contains gypsum as a binder, and YibangCell® cellulose ether is often added to improve workability and ensure strong adhesion to the wall. Hand plasters are mixed by hand or with a machine and applied manually with a trowel. Compared to machine plasters, hand or bonded plasters tend to have less delay in setting. When mixed with water on-site, they can be used to render surfaces on various interior walls made of brick, concrete, ALC blocks, and more. To achieve the necessary water retention, workability, and sag resistance, it is common to incorporate construction grade cellulose ether. Overall, gypsum hand plaster is a versatile and reliable material for interior rendering, and YibangCell® cellulose ether plays an important role in its successful application.

Advantage of Cellulose ether in Gypsum Hand Plaster
1. Improved water retention properties, mitigating the occurrence of sagging during construction.
2. Bonding and lubrication phenomenon.
3. Rephrasing: Preventing the occurrence of cracks and dehydration due to excessive loss of moisture.
4. Enhancing the adhesion of plaster and improving construction smoothness.
