Why choose Wekcelo EK06 and EK07 cellulose ethers for dry building mixes?
17.04.2026

1. Stable and predictable viscosity

Both products exhibit viscosity levels in line with market standards:
EK06: 30,000–40,000 mPa s
EK07: 20,000–28,000 mPa s
According to testing results, their behavior is comparable to widely used analogs, ensuring easy integration into existing formulations

2. High Water Retention and Processability

EK06 and EK07 provide effective water retention, directly related to their viscosity. This ensures:
• Improved workability
• Reduced risk of cracking
• Consistent quality of the finished product

3. Enhanced adhesion – especially for EK07

According to comparative test results:
EK07 demonstrates superior thermal adhesion properties, making it the optimal solution for tile adhesives
• Ensures reliable adhesion even under challenging operating conditions

4. Versatility of application

Both products are suitable for a wide range of applications:
• cementitious putties
• insulation systems (EIFS)
• gypsum plasters
• tile adhesives (especially EK07)
