Product description
Culminal C9164 methylhydroxyethylcellulose provides excellent performance for cementitious tile adhesives and External Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) mortars. The special modification improves wet adhesion (contact area) and prolongs the open time of tile adhesives significantly. This product exhibits outstanding water retention and thus reduces the absorption of water into substrates. In cementitious tile adhesives, it offers high sag resistance along with outstanding workability.
