Mastering the attributes that get the job done right

ADHESION
Optimizing adhesion properties for both interior and exterior applications.

WATER MANAGEMENT
Enhancing rheology, workability, slickness, open time, storage stability, and hydration rates for easy, lump-free mixing.

RHEOLOGY AND THICKENING
Managing interactions with formula minerals to hit viscosity and thixotropic targets and maintaining consistent properties of the compound in the package or the pail.

ANTI-SAG
Providing the properties that drive superior sag resistance, ensuring the job is done to spec the first time and avoiding contractor rework.

Product lineup

As your full-service partner, we tailor product development to your unique requirements. Our Paul F. Werler Innovation Center can support ANSI standards and even conduct testing for you. Below are just some of the products we have developed for construction material customers. Contact us to talk about your specific needs.

GlucoSol® Series

These highly substituted natural polysaccharides are value-added alternatives to competitive natural and synthetic water-soluble polymers. GlucoSol polymers cause individual particles to briefly wet-out prior to rapid hydration, eliminating the formation of gel agglomerates typical of other water-soluble polymers.

GlucoStar® Series

Chemstar’s GlucoStar series provides a number of advantages for construction material products, including rheology modification and water retention properties.

StarBond® Series

The Chemstar StarBond series brings exceptional adhesion and binding properties to a variety of essential compounds used within the construction material industry.
