BOMCELL® MEC112(S) Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose MHEC for Tile Adhesive, Grouts & Decorative Renders

BOMCELL® MEC112(S) is a methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC) developed by Henan Botai Chemical for cement-based dry-mix applications. It imparts excellent open time, adhesion, and shear strength, ensuring strong bonding and easy workability across various formulations.

MEC112(S) disperses rapidly without lump formation and maintains stable performance under different temperature and humidity conditions, making it ideal for tile adhesives, grouts, renders, and water-based coatings.

Key Benefits:

Excellent Workability – Provides smooth troweling and stable consistency.

Fast Dissolution & Uniform Viscosity – Disperses quickly in cold water without lumping.

Strong Adhesion & Shear Strength – Enhances bonding between tiles and substrate.

Extended Open Time – Allows flexible installation even under hot or dry climates.

Versatile Compatibility – Works with both mineral and organic binder systems.
