Cement paints

Self-levelling floor compounds are used to smooth and level concrete and cement based screed surfaces. They can be used as an underlay for tiles and carpets.

To avoid sedimentation, low viscosity Tylose® HEC is used. The advantage of HEC over MC is that the floor levelling compound can be easily de-foamed whilst enhancing the self-levelling properties.

Coating materials

» More information

Due to numerous properties, Tylose® is an important component in water based paints. The most essential properties of Tylose® for the optimisation of coatings are; adjustment of consistency, water retention, binding power and the function as a protective colloid.
