High-shear rheology control for excellent sag resistance and brush/roller application performance.
Outstanding water retention to minimize premature drying and improve open time in cementitious and gypsum-based systems.
Low foaming profile, supporting stable formulation in low-VOC and high-solids waterborne coatings.
Good compatibility with common anionic and nonionic surfactants, dispersants, and biocides.
Consistent batch-to-batch performance enabled by Ashland’s controlled etherification process.
Interior and exterior architectural paints and coatings.
Cement-based tile adhesives and grouts.
Gypsum-based joint compounds and plaster finishes.
Waterborne wood stains and varnishes.
Latex-based caulks and sealants.
