Ken Chemicals has been focusing on cellulose ethers (HPMC, HEMC, HEC) industry for more than 10 years. With experienced R&D team, consistent high-performance product and value-added customer service, we have been serving customers from over 30 countries in different continents with our brand KelloCel™.
About KelloCel™
KelloCel™ is customized toward a diverse set of applications. Non-toxic, biodegradable, and completely safe, KelloCel™ is a key additive that improves texture, workability, strength, or other key functions of wide array of products, including food, oil drilling, personal care, detergents, paints and coatings, and building materials.
KelloCel™ can be used to emulsify, to provide viscous body, to enhance lather in aqueous solutions/suspensions. It can be used to bind, to slow down water loss, to enhance cement setting strength in thin layer cementitious construction materials. KelloCel™ Hydroxypropyl Methyl cellulose (HPMC, MHPC) is used in the production of adhesives, construction dry-mix mortar (such as cement-based tile adhesive, tile grout, skim coat, EIFS, self-leveling, gypsum plaster etc), personal care, detergents and surfactants, water-based paints & coatings, foods, agriculture and the textile industry.
Ken Chemicals also provides one-stop shopping service to customers who need re-dispersible polymer powder, PVA, PP fiber, starch ether, which are essential in various dry mix products in construction.

Better tile adhesives with KelloCel™
Tile adhesive grades of KelloCel™ products offer varying open time and sag resistance, depending upon required specifications.
KelloCel™ allows the hydration reaction to complete farther, thus allowing higher final adhesion strength to develop, especially for highwater-cement ratio formulas.
KelloCel™ contributes easy workability in skim coat. KelloCel™ can prevent leakage of water into the sub-surface, thus prolongs hydration time and increases the open and correction time, improves the final adhesion strength due to fully hydration of cement.
KelloCel™ provides a very “creamy” texture to the grout, prevents cracking of the grout from the shrinkage. As strengths develop and as drying shrinkage is delayed, the likelihood of cracking is dramatically reduced.
Grade recommendation: KelloCel™ MK 2058
Superb Gypsum-based Products with KelloCel™
KelloCel™ modified building materials can drastically increase the water demand and workability, which increases both working time and volumetric yield, thus making the formulation much more economic.
Superb anti-sagging property can help workers level the surface, even when the gypsum mortar is thick.
Grade recommendation:
KelloCel™ MK 3090 KelloCel™ MK 7080
Smooth Self Leveling with KelloCel™
KelloCel™ brings good suspension effect to prevent the layering and bleeding, keeps the fluidity of the mortars and improves workability. KelloCel™ reduces the cracks and shrinkage problems owing to its good water retention, and makes the surface smooth after leveling.
Grade recommendation: KelloCel™ MK F4
KelloCel™ in Thermal Insulation Mortar
KelloCel™ can give workers prolonged open time to correct such mistakes without having to clean up old adhesive and applying new adhesives. It can encapsulate lightweight filler and reduce the water absorption of mortar.
Air-entraining property of KelloCel™ gives insulation mortar a better workability, as well as higher work efficiency and yield/coverage. KelloCel™ can keep the consistency of the mortar well for a long time, with less bleeding and good slurry stability.
Besides these applications in general building materials, water based paints, detergents & personal care products, KelloCel™ can be used in many other applications such as inks, foods, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and textile. KelloCel, always exploring.
