Propriedades e Aplicações

WALOCEL™ MT 400 PFV Cellulose Ether is designed to act as a thickener/rheology modifier. It is specifically intended for cement-based applications.

• Provides well-balanced properties to self-leveling base layers.
• The selected particle size distribution helps obtain rapid, lump-free dissolution.
• Is compatible with all conventional mineral and organic binders.
• Improves water retention.

Applications:

The product is recommended for the following applications:
• Cement-based grouts.
• Self-leveling base.

Manuseio

Safety and Explosion Prevention:

• During use and storage, safe handling must be carried out to prevent airborne dust from reaching explosive levels. The critical level can be reached with approximately 28 grams of dust/m³.

• When handling large quantities, applicable local standards regarding dust explosion prevention must be complied with.

• WALOCEL™ products must not be stored together with peroxides or other oxidizing agents.

General Handling and Health:

• Under normal handling conditions, the products do not present a significant health hazard, but dust may cause mechanical irritation to skin and eyes under extreme conditions.

• In case of dry powder spillage on the floor, it should be swept dry, as solutions of WALOCEL™ products are slippery. If the spillage is a viscous solution, it should be eliminated by diluting with water before disposal.

• WALOCEL™ cellulose ether products generally do not present significant ecological problems.

Armazenagem / Embalagem

Cellulose ethers are organic polymers that burn when exposed to heat and a sufficient supply of oxygen.
