For construction professionals and formulators, picking the right additives can make or break the performance of mortars, adhesives, and plasters. Two widely used compounds—hydroxypropyl starch ether (HPS) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)—both boost building material properties, but their st
