This product is designed for cement-based applications such as repair mortars, cement-based tile adhesives and cement-based reinforcing and bonding mortars for exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS). Compatible with all conventional mineral and organic binders, the product adds excellent open time, slip resistance, adhesion, shear strength according to different storage conditions and good impact resistance. It also enhances workability and waterretention. 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.
