High viscosity grade offering excellent thickening and suspension performance in aqueous systems.
Consistent batch-to-batch rheology due to tightly controlled substitution and molecular weight distribution.
Excellent water retention capability, critical for cementitious and gypsum-based building materials.
Good thermal gelation profile with reversible gel formation above ~55–65 °C, supporting process stability.
Non-ionic nature ensures compatibility with electrolytes, surfactants, and common construction additives.
Cement-based tile adhesives and thin-set mortars.
Gypsum plasters and joint compounds.
Self-leveling underlayments (SLUs) and flowable grouts.
Exterior insulation finishing systems (EIFS) base coats.
Water-based architectural coatings requiring rheology control and sag resistance.
