Skimcoat is a fine material applied to indoor or outdoor surfaces. Cement-based skimcoat is the final layer at 2-5mm thickness on horizontal surfaces, commonly applied to concrete or foundation renders. YibangCell® cellulose ether aids in manual coating, improving water retention, sag resistance, and crack resistance. These properties vary by region. Overall, YibangCell® cellulose ether plays a crucial role in facilitating the application of skimcoat, ensuring the quality of the final product.

Benefits Of Adding Kimacell Cellulose Ether In Skimcoat
1. Water retention: maximizes water retention in the slurry.
2. Anti-sagging: Corrugation can be avoided when spreading thicker coats.
3. Increased Mortar Yield: depending on the weight of the dry mixture and the proper formulation, HPMC can increase the volume of mortar.
