Mailose™ ME series is Methyl hydorxyethyl Cellulose. It is widely used in drymix mortar industry. Could be soluble in water and form the transparent solution.  As the important additives in mortar, Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose could increase the water retention, increase the workability and increase open time etc.

Anionic surfactants are negatively charged materials that are available in a variety of chemical types. The main classes being alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfonates, phosphate esters. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics including, emulsification, solubilisation, wetting, detergency, dispersion and foaming.

STEOL® is a high active product useful in detergents, dishwash, laundry, shampoos, bath products, liquid hand soap and industrial cleaners

Texicryl® emulsion used to enhance the workability and technical performance of products being supplied into the building and decoration market.A diverse range of thickeners and binders for the Artist Colors market. It can also be used in water-based styrene acrylic emulsion polymers and solid resins specifically developed for graphic art applications, as a rheology modifiers for Hand Cleanser applications.With over 60 years’ experience, our range of PVA / acrylic binders and inverse emulsion thickeners deliver high performance in textile and furnishing products.

Hyperlite EST is a hydrophobic and easy dry technology multifunctional extender. Adopting a surface modification called salinization which creates chemically bonding water-repellent molecules to the surface, it is an easy dry multi-functional extender that helps to prevent water penetration in pores & help fill the cavity in the capillaries and is cost-effective as it helps to partially replace your costly silicon resin in the system.

Often, fillers have to meet very special requirements. In such cases not only good dispersion characteristics are of importance, but also mechanical and dynamic properties of the final products. Improved electrical insulation resistance, better aging and fluid resistance in many materials and improved anticorrosion properties have a crucial role to play in many areas. At Hoffmann Mineral, we developed Aktisil to meet such customer requirements. This special filler is made by treating the surface of Neuburg Siliceous Earth with chemical agents, mostly silanes. The reaction by-products (e.g. alcohol) formed during the manufacture of the different products of Aktisil are largely removed right away during the process. The coupling reaction fixes the silane to the surface of the filler. Any undesirable side-effects that can occur during mixing by direct addition of the silane are virtually eliminated. So the customer can choose from a complete product range of many different types of Aktisil. This is the result of many years of in-house experience and of close cooperation with customers. Know-how for users’ benefit.

CEDEPAL® is an anionic surfactant with maximum foaming power. It is used a as foaming agent in wall board and finds application in concrete admixtures.

The SILRES® brand comprises a wide range of silicones for coatings, paints and construction applications. The portfolio has been developed and continuously improved since the 1950's when the first silicone resins for building protection originated in WACKER laboratories. It features not only time-tested and innovative products, but also tailored solutions for a host of applications, climates and substrates. And it is supported by a range of extensive services available from our technical centers worldwide which provide further customization and customer-specific options.

BIO-SOFT® is a nonionic surfactant blend that is an excellent cleaner, degreaser, and detergent. It can be formulated into concentrates and ready-to-use products for household, industrial, and institutional applications.

Aktifit is an activated Silfit Z 91 produced by modifying the surface with functional silanes. The by-products split off during the treatment reaction are largely removed during the production process which firmly attaches the silane to the filler surface. This helps minimize undesirable side effects, as they are potentially encountered with in-situ mixing (direct addition of silane to the compound).
