Typical applications for MK20P

Wall Putty / Skim Coat

Incorporate MikaZone® MK20P into the putty to adjust the mortar to the appropriate concentration, ensuring that the putty plaster can firmly adhere to the wall and create a smooth surface.

Industrial Coatings / paint

MikaZone® MK20P can provide water retention, thickening, and other effects for coatings, making them easier to use and enhancing their performance.

Gypsum Plasters

Thickening and water retention are important properties of gypsum plaster. MikaZone® MK20P possesses excellent water retention and fast thickening effects, reducing lump formation in gypsum mixing and stabilizing mortar viscosity.

EIFS

Sagging mortar and open time are common issues in construction. MK20P can help you solve these problems by providing better sag resistance, improved open time, and embedding time.
