Esacol MX 115
Esacol MX 115 is a hydrocolloid belonging to the polysaccharides family. It’s soluble both in hot and cold water. It’s rheological properties combined with a high yield point value, make esacol MX 155 typically suitable for cement self-levelling applications, where good anti-sedimentation characteristics are required.
