Modified starches, engineered to bond, set and finish.
Sustainable binders based on biobased raw matrials. Bio-based admixtures on the jobsite. Construction chemistry is changing fast — and every ingredient has to earn its place. Formulators expect controlled rheology, extended open time and a reliable surface finish built in from the start. Circularity goals and embodied-emission targets are reshaping raw material choices, while digital dosing and tighter quality standards raise the bar for reproducible, scalable performance.
Let’s solve your challenge!
Together, we'll identify the right solution for your process, formulation, and labeling needs.
From additives to adhesives—modified starches form the solid foundation for building materials
Reliable performance in construction applications begins with the right functional additive. Our starch ethers for the construction industry improve workability, enhance rheology and extend open time in tile adhesives, renders and mortars — while optimizing water demand and carbon footprint by biobased starch. We offer our commercial customers plant-based starch solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing formulations and deliver consistent, measurable results on site.

Construction technical support — formulation guidance and material trials
AGRANA's technical team partners with construction formulators to trial grades, tune viscosity and flow, and confirm compatibility with cement-based chemistries. We provide lab support, performance data and pilot-scale samples to evaluate adhesion, open time and finishing properties under real production conditions.
