Need a reliable, plant-based replacement for artificial fibers?
Did you know there are environmentally, sustainable alternatives to artificial fibers and even asbestos?
ARBOCEL® has some similar properties to conventional plastic fibers but also some differing, AND it is made of pure natural cellulose! Have a look at the many applications and its benefits of using the plant-based alternative for the construction chemicals industry:
ARBOCEL® - Cellulose Fibers, Modified Cellulose Fibers and Gels
Using ARBOCEL® …
… to reinforce mortars and coatings by the 3-dimensional fiber network
… to improve the workability
because of the structural viscous behavior
- Fiber structure created by ARBOCEL®
- Collapsed fiber structure
- Fibers align in the flow direction
- Fibers release some of the liquid into the matrix
- Decrease of viscosity
- As soon as shear forces stop acting on the system, the state shown in the first figure 1s restored.
… to reduce micro cracks
Crack inhibitor shown on an emulsion paint
… to prolong the open time
because liquid is transported by the cellulose fibers from inside (core) to the surface, where evaporation takes place.
Applications
ARBOCEL® fibers are commonly used in dry mortar applications like tile adhesives, plasters, joint fillers but also waterborn systems like paints, plasters but also bitumen based products like sealants.
- Products derived from renewable raw materials without negative influence to the environment
- No registration required to chemical systems like REACH
Why continue to use environmentally harmful raw materials when nature already provides us with suitable alternatives?
