METHOD FOR REDUCING AGGLOMERATION IN GYPSUM PLASTER OR FILLING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING CELLULOSE ETHER

摘要

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.

1. A method for providing a modified gypsum plaster or filling composition having reduced agglomeration in comparison to a gypsum plaster or filling composition comprising a water soluble cellulose ether in a specified amount X, where the specified amount is from 0.1 to 1.0 weight percent based on the total dry weight of said composition components, said method comprising:
a) forming a dry mortar comprising gypsum binder; water soluble cellulose ether in an amount of X minus Y; and gelatin in an amount Y, wherein Y is from 0.02X to 0.30X; and b) combining said dry mortar with water to form a modified gypsum plaster or filling composition.
