What are LANDERCOLL Case Studies?

LANDERCOLL Case Studies are practical application references that show how cellulose ether products can be selected and tested for different formulation challenges. Each case study covers customer background, application problem, product selection direction, testing process, performance observations, and technical notes.

Are the case study results guaranteed in every formulation?

No. Case studies are references only. Final results depend on raw materials, formulation design, production process, application method, climate, and testing conditions. Every formulation system is different, and performance should always be confirmed through independent testing.

Which industries are included in the case studies?

LANDERCOLL case studies cover construction, paints and coatings, detergents, personal care, food, pharmaceutical, ceramics, oilfield, adhesives, inks, paper, textiles, and other industrial applications.

Which cellulose ether products are referenced?

The case studies may reference HPMC, HEMC/MHEC, HEC, and CMC depending on the target application and performance requirement. Product direction is matched to the specific formulation challenge described in each case study.

Can I request a case study for my application?

Yes. You can share your application type and formulation challenge with LANDERCOLL. Our team can provide product selection direction, testing suggestions, and sample support based on your specific situation.

Can distributors use these case studies?

Yes. Distributors can use LANDERCOLL case studies as technical references when communicating with customers, explaining product functions, identifying application needs, and supporting the sales process.

Do case studies include exact customer formulations?

Some case studies may include general formulation direction as a reference, but complete customer formulations are not disclosed. LANDERCOLL protects customer confidentiality in all case study content.

Can LANDERCOLL help adjust my formulation based on a case study?

Yes. LANDERCOLL can review your application target, raw materials, current cellulose ether grade, dosage, and testing feedback to recommend an adjustment direction. Contact our team with your details to start the discussion.

Construction Drymix Mortar · Tile Adhesive

Improving Tile Adhesive Open Time

Výzva

A customer needed better open time and smoother troweling performance in a cement-based tile adhesive. The existing cellulose ether grade provided insufficient water retention, leading to a short working window and inconsistent application behavior.

Solution Direction

LANDERCOLL recommended testing selected HPMC and HEMC/MHEC grades with suitable water retention and rheology characteristics for the customer’s cement-based system.

Performance Observation

During testing, the customer observed improved workable consistency, better open time support, and smoother application feel with the recommended grade direction.

Technical Notes

Open time performance depends on cellulose ether viscosity grade, dosage level, cement type, filler system, water-to-powder ratio, and ambient temperature. Final performance must be confirmed through application testing.

Paints & Coatings · Interior Wall Paint

Improving Viscosity Stability in Water-Based Paint

Výzva

A paint manufacturer needed better viscosity stability and pigment suspension in a water-based coating system. The formulation was showing viscosity drop during storage and uneven pigment distribution.

Solution Direction

LANDERCOLL recommended selected HEC grades for thickening, rheology control, and suspension stability evaluation — with guidance on hydration method and addition sequence.

Performance Observation

Testing showed improved viscosity control, better storage stability direction, and more stable pigment distribution in the evaluated system.

Technical Notes

HEC performance in paint depends on grade viscosity, hydration method, water quality, pH, preservative system, and pigment loading. Compatibility with other additives should be confirmed through storage testing.

Home Care · Toilet Cleaner

Improving Gel Structure in Toilet Cleaner

Výzva

A cleaning product manufacturer needed a more stable gel structure and better vertical surface cling in a toilet cleaner formulation. The product was too thin and showed poor surface contact time.

Solution Direction

LANDERCOLL recommended suitable cellulose ether grades for thickening, flow control, and gel stability testing — based on the surfactant system and pH of the formulation.

Performance Observation

The tested formulation showed improved consistency, better product appearance, and more stable flow behavior during evaluation.

Technical Notes

Gel structure in toilet cleaner depends on cellulose ether grade, dosage, surfactant type, electrolyte level, pH, and fragrance system. Compatibility testing is important before production use.
