Available technical data sheets include:
An HPMC grade for dry-mix mortar applications requiring a balance of water retention, thickening and workability.
Suitable for applications such as wall putty, renders, plasters, gypsum materials, repair mortars and tile adhesives.
A higher-viscosity HPMC grade for formulations requiring stronger thickening, water retention and sag-resistance performance.
An HPMC grade developed for daily chemical applications where thickening and formulation consistency are required.
Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose — HEMC
HEMC provides water retention, thickening, workability and sag resistance in a range of cement- and gypsum-based materials.
Available grade documents include:
EM20K
EM30K
EM40K
EM60K
EM80K
The appropriate grade depends on the required viscosity range, formulation structure, application method and environmental conditions.
Typical applications include wall putty, renders, plasters, gypsum products, repair mortars and tile adhesives.

Redispersible Polymer Powders
Redispersible polymer powder improves the polymer-modified performance of dry-mix mortar.
Different grades may influence adhesion, cohesion, flexibility, workability, water resistance, thixotropy and durability.
Available RDP Grades
Developed for formulations requiring improved thixotropic behavior, stability and application control.
A general-purpose polymer powder for a broad range of dry-mix mortar applications.
Designed for self-leveling formulations where flow, cohesion and surface performance must be balanced.
Suitable for applications requiring improved flexibility, adhesion and deformation resistance.
Developed for formulations requiring reduced water absorption and improved water-resistant performance.
A flexible polymer powder suitable for high-performance tile adhesive formulations, including systems requiring improved adhesion and extended open time.
Additional MICHEM RDP documents include grades such as:
6001
6011
6021
MH6041
The correct grade should be selected according to the binder system, intended application and required performance level.

Concrete Admixtures
MICHEM supplies water-reducing and dispersing agents for concrete, dry-mix mortar and related cement-based systems.
Performance can vary according to cement type, mineral additions, aggregate characteristics, dosage and mixing conditions. Technical data should therefore be combined with compatibility testing.
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer — PCE
PCE is available in flake and powder forms for different production and formulation requirements.
Technical documents provide information about product form, relevant physical characteristics and intended application areas.
PCE products can support formulation objectives such as:
- Water reduction
- Improved flow
- Better dispersion
- Workability control
- Improved strength potential through lower water demand
Sulfonated Melamine Formaldehyde — SMF
SMF is a high-range water-reducing and dispersing agent used in selected cementitious applications.
Review the technical data sheet to understand its relevant characteristics and recommended use.
View SMF Technical Data SheetSulfonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde — SNF
SNF is used to improve dispersion, reduce water demand and support workability in concrete and mortar formulations.
Performance should be confirmed with the customer’s cement and complete additive system.

Fibers
MICHEM supplies fibers for crack control, reinforcement, dimensional stability, toughness and durability in mortar and concrete.
Fiber selection depends on the required function, dimensions, dosage, mixing process and finished-product performance.
Polypropylene Fibers
Available fiber types include polypropylene monofilament, mesh and other forms for mortar and concrete applications.
They can help control plastic shrinkage cracking and improve the uniformity of reinforcement throughout the material.

Functional Additives
Functional additives are often used at relatively low dosages but can significantly influence mortar, gypsum, concrete and coating performance.
Their effect should be evaluated within the complete formulation.
Hydroxypropyl Starch Ether — HPS
HPS can support thickening, workability, water retention, anti-sag performance and open-time control in dry-mix mortar.
It is commonly evaluated alongside cellulose ethers because the two materials may influence the rheology of the same formulation.

DP500 is designed to reduce unwanted air in dry-mix mortar and related powder systems.
Controlling excessive air can help improve density, strength, flow, surface quality and bonding performance.
The appropriate dosage should be determined through formulation testing.

How to Use a Technical Data Sheet
Confirm the Intended Application
Begin by checking whether the product is recommended for your type of mortar, concrete, coating or industrial formulation.
Review the Relevant Properties
Focus on the characteristics that influence your application. A single value should not be used as the only basis for product selection.
Compare Functions, Not Only Numbers
Products with similar physical data may perform differently in water retention, workability, adhesion, flexibility, flow or application stability.
Test the Product in Your Formulation
Use your own binders, aggregates, fillers, additives, dosage and mixing process when conducting the final evaluation.
Review the Results with MICHEM
If the sample does not achieve the required performance, our technical team can help evaluate product selection, dosage and formulation compatibility.
