Product Application

Bermocoll® CCA 098 is used in cement based tile fix and joint mortars for improvement of workability, consistency, and water retention. It prolongs the open time, and improves the final adhesion and strength. Bermocoll® CCA 098 should be admixed to the mortar in dry form before the water is added. Normal dosage is 0.3 - 0.5 % calculated on the dry mortar weight. Bermocoll® CCA 098 is also used as a thickener for water based systems when extremely high viscosity is required.The dissolving time of Bermocoll® CCA 098 is influenced by the pH of the solution.
