Excellent water retention in cementitious and gypsum-based systems, minimizing cracking and enhancing workability.
High pseudoplastic rheology for improved sag resistance and uniform application in vertical surfaces.
Enhanced enzymatic and microbial stability compared to standard HEC grades, ensuring longer shelf life in formulated products.
Consistent batch-to-batch performance due to Ashland’s controlled etherification process and stringent quality control.
Good compatibility with common construction additives including redispersible polymer powders, superplasticizers, and defoamers.
Cement-based tile adhesives and grouts.
Gypsum-based plasters and skim coats.
Self-leveling underlayments (SLUs).
Exterior insulation finishing systems (EIFS) base and finish coats.
Repair mortars and non-shrink grouts.
