Wallocel MKX 15000 PP20

WALOCEL™ MKX 15000 PP20 is a specific type of modified hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC) from Dow’s WALOCEL™ product series of cellulose ether products. This variant is developed for use in various construction and building applications, serving as an additive to enhance viscosity, cohesion, and workability in materials such as cement-based mixtures, gypsum, and other construction materials.

Composition and Properties:

• MKX 15000 specifies the viscosity class of the product (in mPas, in a 2% aqueous solution), indicating that WALOCEL™ MKX 15000 PP20 has a viscosity of approximately 15,000 mPas (millipascal-seconds). This relatively high viscosity ensures that the product provides materials with a thick, stable consistency.

• PP20 refers to the specific type and degree of modification in the product, influencing its solubility, functionality, and performance in different applications.

Applications:

WALOCEL™ MKX 15000 PP20 is typically used in applications such as:

• Cement-based products: Enhancing viscosity and workability in cement-based mixtures, such as plasters and tile adhesives.

• Gypsum: Improving adhesion, workability, and preventing premature drying in gypsum mixtures.

• Sprayed plasters: Assisting in cement-based sprayed plaster applications by improving flow and making the material easier to apply using spray equipment.

Benefits:

1. Improved Consistency:

• MKX 15000 PP20 provides a stable and viscous solution, making it ideal for applications requiring smooth application, such as spraying.

2. Enhanced Workability:

• It improves ease of handling and extends open time, allowing users to adjust and work with the material more effectively.

3. High Biobased Carbon Content:

• Like other WALOCEL™ products, MKX 15000 PP20 is made from cellulose, a biobased material, making it a more sustainable choice.

Summary:

WALOCEL™ MKX 15000 PP20 is a modified hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC) with high viscosity, specifically designed to enhance the performance of cement- and gypsum-based materials. It extends working time, improves application, and provides a stable and uniform consistency in construction applications like plaster, tile adhesives, and sprayed gypsum.

 

WALOCEL™ MKX 15000 PP20 is available in bulk, IBCs, drums, and containers.
