Walocel MKX 40000 PP 01 Methyl cellulose Bayer-Wolff cellullosics Rheology Modifiers / Thickeners >> Cellulosic >> Methyl cellulose (MC) ADHESIVE Walocel® M Wolff Cellulosics is a leading manufacturer of methyl hydroxy ethyl cellulose (MHEC) methyl hydroxy propyl cellulose (MHPC) These are highly effective additives used to improve the quality and processing characteristics of building materials such as plasters and renders, mortars, tile adhesives and emulsion paints. Our product range mainly comprises speciality products marketed under the Walocel® M brand in more than 70 countries. Wherever thickening, gelling, emulsifying, suspending, absorbing, stabilizing, bonding, film-forming or water retention is required, Walocel® M products provide the desired effect. They help control the water balance and improve the rheological and adhesive properties of premixed dry mortars and other building material systems. Modern building materials such as premixed dry mortars or dispersion-based systems require a number of additives among which methyl cellulose plays a very important role. Wolff Cellulosics offers an array of methyl cellulose products under its Walocel® M brand name. They are manufactured in state-of-the-art (ISO registered) production plants and conform to high quality standards. The inherent features of Walocel® M products help to optimize the rheological properties and the consistency of various building material systems, to enable better performance. Above all, Walocel® M enhances their most crucial property: their water retention capability. High water retention is the prerequisite for workability, for good adhesion to the surface to which it is applied, and for dependable setting. The effects of Walocel® M products result from specific product features including the type of substitution, degree of substitution, mean viscosity, particle size distribution (grading curve) and additional thickening effect. The product nomenclature indicates the product features, as is shown below using Walocel® MKX 25000 PP 20 as an example. Walocel® registered trademark of Wolff Walsrode AG M type of substitution K degree of substitution X special etherification for high water retention even at wet mortar temperatures of 30 or 40°C. 25000 mean viscosity in mPa×s, 2% solution, measured using a Haake rotary viscometer at 20°C and with a shear gradient of 2.55x [1/s]. PP powder, very fine 20 Modification - the higher the number, the greater the thickening effect and the greater the system's water demand. The water demand affects the yield of the building material system. Every building material system makes specific demands on the Walocel® M grade to be used. Therefore, to select the right grade it is very important that you consult with our application technology department and carry out any necessary field trials.
