Self-leveling compounds are useful for creating a flat, smooth, and firm surface that can support other materials. They accomplish this by using their own weight to settle into place, making construction efficient and scalable. High fluidity is a crucial characteristic of these mortars, as is the ability to maintain water retention and bonding strength without water segregation. Additionally, they should provide insulation and resist temperature increases to ensure optimal performance.
Self-leveling compounds typically need high fluidity, but cement slurry typically only has a fluidity of 10-12cm. To improve properties like consistency, workability, bonding, and water retention, cellulose ether is a key additive in ready-mixed mortar, even at low levels. It is a critical ingredient that plays a major role in the industry. To maintain flowability and prevent sedimentation, low viscosity YibangCell® cellulose ether is used.

Function of the addition of cellulose ether in self-leveling.
1. Protection from water exudation and sedimentation of materials.
2. The low viscosity cellulose ether has no effect on the fluidity of the slurry, while its water retention properties improve finish performance on the surface.
