As the global coatings and dry-mix mortar industry focuses on “Green Innovation and Efficient Compatibility,” a grand event connecting industry resources and sparking cutting-edge ideas concluded successfully in Shanghai. From November 25th to 27th, 2025, the China International Coatings Show (CHINACOAT 2025) was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). SidleyChem made a splendid appearance at Booth W3H13, showcasing its full range of dry-mix mortar additives. We engaged in face-to-face exchanges with industry professionals from around the globe on technical applications, innovative solutions, and sustainable development pathways, earning broad recognition with our robust product strength and customized services. This marked a brilliant chapter in expanding our presence in domestic and international dry-mix mortar markets.

As a globally leading event for the coatings and construction chemicals industry, CHINACOAT has become a core platform for companies to explore domestic and international markets. This edition attracted thousands of enterprises and tens of thousands of professional visitors from over 50 countries and regions, covering the entire industry chain of dry-mix mortar, coatings raw materials, and construction chemicals. It served as a top-tier window for showcasing the latest technological achievements and connecting with market demands. Currently, the dry-mix mortar industry faces the dual challenges of “intensifying homogenized competition” and “escalating green, low-carbon requirements,” making “performance differentiation” and “service customization” key to breaking through. SidleyChem’s participation not only precisely addressed the needs of clients in East China and global markets but also strengthened our professional influence in the field of dry-mix mortar additives through in-depth exchanges.

Centered on “customer scenario needs,” SidleyChem displayed a comprehensive matrix of additives. Highlights included:

• Methylcellulose (MHEC/HPMC) for water retention and thickening.

• Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP) for enhanced adhesion and flexibility.

• Silicone Hydrophobic Powder for water repellency.

• Starch Ether for workability modification.

Products like our weather-resistant Silicone Hydrophobic Powder and low-viscosity Starch Ether drew significant attention for solving regional application challenges. All products meet international green building standards, verified by authorities like SGS and Intertek.

Our team demonstrated product advantages through on-site comparisons and case studies, offering integrated “product + technical support” solutions. This success marks a key step in SidleyChem’s domestic strategy. We will continue R&D investment, optimize formulations for different climates, and deepen our “Product + Service” model to empower the industry’s green upgrade with global partners.
