A low-carbon non-modified hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) with a delayed solubility. This product was is designed for use in cement-based applications. It is compatible with all conventional mineral binders used in cement-based tile adhesives formulations. Dow’s WALOCEL™ cellulose ether products are manufactured using cellulose from wood or cotton linter, resulting in an inherently bio-based additive with approximately over 78% bio-based carbon content.
Usos
Developed for cement-based applications, like cement-based tile adhesives and also as a rheology modifier/thickener for several ready to use construction applications.
Some typical applications are tape joint compounds, mastics, renders, cement-based tile adhesives etc.
Beneficios
It has a surface treatment which offers a delayed dissolution. It will impact a balanced performance to include: workability, open time, crack resistance and bond strength.
