Starch ethers for building applications

“Plastering only becomes easy when you work with the right materials,” says Peter from Stucadoorsbedrijf Peter Jansen. “People often try to do it themselves, and it goes wrong. Then they ask me to finish the job with their materials. I never do that. The plaster people buy themselves just can’t compare to what I use – even if the bags and brands look identical.” Early 2024, Peter and his son Sietse participated in a photoshoot for Avebe’s building solutions. Peter: “We plastered several walls on set, which was captured by a film and photography crew.” Peter recalls: “When I heard that my plaster contained potatoes, I thought, ‘Excuse me?’ My colleagues were just as surprised. It’s not something you think about – that you could have potato starch as an ingredient in plaster materials.”
