The construction industry in Palestine faces severe challenges due to high evaporation rates and fluctuating temperatures. The use of cellulose ether is no longer optional but a necessity to prevent premature drying and cracking in cementitious materials.
Local contractors are increasingly shifting towards cellulose ether hpmc to improve the workability of tile adhesives and wall plasters, which must withstand the limestone-heavy soil and salty coastal air of the region.
Furthermore, the demand for water reducing admixture has spiked as the industry seeks to reduce the water-to-cement ratio, thereby increasing the compressive strength of urban infrastructure projects in Ramallah and Gaza.
