Dry mix mortars are becoming more and more popular in the world’s building materials market. Therefore, the issue of increasing the technological and mechanical properties of stucco mixes is relevant. The aim of the paper is modification of lightweight dry stucco mixes with fine limestone and perlite as well as with hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose and dispersible polymer. In order to investigate the different mixes, an 18-point experiment was designed. Density, compressive strengths and crack resistance of dry plaster mixes were studied using requirements of standard. Mathematical models were obtained for the compositions as a result of processing the experimental data. The regularities of the fillers’ and additives’ influence on the properties of the mixes were established, depending on their amount and combination. It was observed that methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose improves the crack resistance and compression strength, and contributes to a slight decrease in density. The crack resistance of plaster mortars changes more than 1.5 times, the most crack-resistant compositions have an average amount of porous fillers.
