Product Overview

METHOCEL™ 254 is primarily intended for use in manually and spray-applied plasters. Along with strong thickening functionality, METHOCEL™ 254 gives plasters exceptional workability and significantly improves water retention. It may also be used in adhesives for ceramic tiles based on cement. The particle size distribution of METHOCEL™ 254 promotes quick dissolution, which is unaffected by formulation pH. All mineral binders are compatible with the product.

Applications

Cement-based tile adhesives
Blocks adhesives
Grouts
Manual plasters
Masonry mortars
Cement lime machine plaster

Features & Benefits

Provides cement-based tile adhesives well-balanced qualities, such as open time, slide resistance, adhesion, and shear strength depending on various storage circumstances
Additionally, it improves water retention, imparting superior workability
Quick or lump-free dissolution is guaranteed by the chosen particle size distribution
All common mineral and organic binders have high compatibility

Problems Solved

Poor open time, adhesion, and shear strength of cement-based tile and block adhesives
Low workability of plasters and mortars
Incompatibility with other organic and mineral binders
