Univar Solutions and its partner Dow Construction Chemicals are proud to offer you a range of materials dedicated to the construction industry.
These high-performance materials are able to meet all of your construction needs, ranging from cement modifiers, concrete primers, masonry and elastomeric coatings.
WALOCEL™ MW 6000 PFV
A hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) with a delayed solubility. This product was developed as a rheology modifier/thickener for several ready to use construction applications. Dow’s WALOCEL™ cellulose ether products are manufactured using cellulose from wood or cotton linter, resulting in an inherently bio-based additive with approximately over 78% bio-based carbon content.
Typical applications include tape joint compounds, caulks, texturing, etc. It has a surface treatment that offers delayed dissolution. It will impart balanced performance, including workability, open time, crack resistance, and bond strength.
Key Benefits
- Sustainable: Inherently bio based additive
- Balanced performance
- Good workability
- Crack resistance
- Bond strength
- Surface treatment that offers delayed dissolution
Typical properties
- Cellulose Functionality: Hydroxyethyl
- Particle size: Fine Powder
- Viscosity: 6cP
Application Areas
- Tape joint compounds
- Caulks
- Mastics
- Renders
WALOCEL™ M 20-30
A modified hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC). This product was developed for cement-based applications, like cement-based tile adhesives and essential additives for the successful formulation of the cement. It also imparts good workability and enhances water retention. The selected particle size distribution helps to achieve quick or lump free dissolution.
Key Benefits
- Sustainable: Inherently bio-based additive
- Good slip resistance
- Offers quality impact resistance
- Imparts strong workability
- Compatible with conventional and mineral binders
Typical properties
- Cellulose Functionality: Hydroxyethyl
- Modification: High
- Viscosity: 20cP
- Particle size: Fine powder
Application Areas
- Cement based application
- Cementitious parts of an external thermal insulating system
WALOCEL™ MKX 25000 PF
This product is designed for cement-based applications such as repair mortars, cement-based tile adhesives and cement-based reinforcing and bonding mortars for exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS). Compatible with all conventional mineral and organic binders, the product adds excellent open time, slip resistance, adhesion, shear strength according to different storage conditions and good impact resistance. It also enhances workability and water retention. Dow’s WALOCEL™ cellulose ether products are manufactured using cellulose from wood or cotton linter, resulting in an inherently bio-based additive with approximately over 78% bio-based carbon content.
Key Benefits
- Sustainability: Inherently bio-based additive
- Compatible with all conventional mineral and organic binders
