Product Portfolio construction

a broad range of products

Welcome to Dow Wolff Cellulosics !

Dow Wolff Cellulosics was created as a new

business unit, encompassing the activities of

what were previously Wolff Walsrode AG and

The Dow Chemical Company’s Water Soluble

Polymers business. Joining these two entities

together into Dow Wolff Cellulosics allows us to

capitalize on the strengths of both organizations

and deliver a reinforced portfolio of products

and services to the worldwide end-use markets

on cellulosics and other key chemistries for

enhanced performance. Dow Wolff Cellulosics

is a preferred development supplier and

application development specialist in the

cellulosics industry, catering to the changing

needs of formulators and brand owners whose

label claims are enabled by Dow solutions.

Our combined business portfolio is based

on strong manufacturing capabilities that

are among the most advanced in our sector,

innovative research and development, and

knowledgeable, highly qualified specialists.

As a market leader in cellulose ether polymers,

Dow Wolff Cellulosics offers a broad spectrum

of products and solutions for construction

applications, which include both cellulose ethers

and redispersible latex powders.

We are a Cellulosics application specialist.

We deliver value creating products and solutions.

We enable end-use product functionality.

the versatile characteristics of WaLOceL™ m, metHOceL™ cellulose ethers,

ceLLOsize™ Hydroxyethyl cellulose and DOW™ Latex Powders (DLP) offer

a number of beneficial effects for building materials. considerable features of our

cellulose ether polymers include:

• rapid build-up of a temperature-stable high water retention capability

• selective consistency adjustment for easy workability

• selective control of rheology for improved workability

• stabilization of air voids

• improved substrate adhesion for building materials

Low addition rates are typically sufficient to obtain the desired effects such as

smooth workability and sag resistance, provided the appropriate WaLOceL™ m,

metHOceL™ cellulose ethers and ceLLOsize™ Hydroxyethyl cellulose grade

tailored to the specific field of application is used. a series of tables contained in this

brochure lists product recommendations for:

• tile adhesives and tile grouts

• Fillers, levellers and joint compounds

• reinforcing & bonding mortars for external thermal insulation

composite systems (etics)

• Gypsum and cement based plasters

• Dispersion bound systems

Our current product portfolio is outlined at www.dowwolffcellulosics.com.
