Mastercell is a hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) for
ready-mix and dry-mix products. It imparts good workability and enhances water retention. The selected particle size distribution guarantees quick or lump-free dissolution.
Mastercell HPMC ensures in applications;
* overall good performance,
* long open time,
* improved thermal stability,
* excellent slipping resistance,
* less retardation of cement hydration.
Application
Mastercell HPMC ensures high performance for;
Tile adhesives,
Grouts,
Machine plasters,
EIFS,
Water born paints, etc.
