The viscosity of MK40P is relatively high among HPMC products. Like other HPMC types, it offers excellent water retention and thickening properties.
Incorporate MikaZone® MK40P 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.
MikaZone® MK40P can provide water retention, thickening, and other effects for coatings, making them easier to use and enhancing their performance.
Thickening and water retention are important properties of gypsum plaster. MikaZone® MK40P possesses excellent water retention and fast thickening effects, reducing lump formation in gypsum mixing and stabilizing mortar viscosity.
Tile grouts with Mikazone MK40P can offer better tape adhesion. it ensures excellent workabilityand crack-resistance properties.
