This product is designed for use in cement-based applications. Compatible with all conventional mineral binders used in cement-based tile adhesives formulations, this product provides good water retention at elevated temperatures, good open time, adjustment time, good workability, adhesion and shear strength. The selected particle size distribution provides quick, lump-free dissolution. 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.
