High viscosity grade offering excellent thickening and suspension performance in aqueous systems.
Thermally reversible gelation behavior enabling controlled rheology across processing temperature ranges.
Enhanced water retention capacity, critical for extended workability in cementitious and tile adhesives.
Consistent batch-to-batch performance ensured by Ashland’s stringent GMP-compliant manufacturing controls.
Excellent compatibility with common construction additives including redispersible polymer powders and retarders.
Cement-based tile adhesives requiring high slip resistance and open time extension.
Self-leveling underlayments where uniform flow and minimal sag are essential.
Exterior insulation finishing systems (EIFS) base coats demanding robust water retention and crack resistance.
Grouts and repair mortars requiring improved cohesion and reduced segregation.
Joint fillers and skim coats requiring smooth application and rapid film formation.
