WALOCEL™ Cellulose Ethers
The unique water retention properties of WALOCEL™ are what make thin-set cement-based tile mortars possible.
This highly efficient water retention comes from dosages typically between 0.2-0.5%. This small amount however delivers powerful performance, and is responsible for providing the applicator the workability, open-time and adjustability time needed for high quality installation, as well as helping to insure cement hydration and optimal bond strength development.
