Resulting Properties
Polymer additives are generally added to mortar or concrete materials before or during mixing for the purpose of improving workability or physical properties once the mixture sets. Bermocoll M70 or CCA 425 operates as a functional additive combining properties of water retention for workability. Bermocoll is recommended as an adhesive mortar. It does not provide added flexibility as polyvinyl copolymer additives. The source of Simple Ceramic Tile Adhesive Based on Cellulose Ether is AkzoNobel.
