POLYCOL 2

Binder for glazes, engobes and top glazes, designed to enhance adhesion, slow down drying, and ensure a smoother glaze application.
Thanks to its cohesive action, the product also helps minimize dusting after drying.

POLYCOL 2 dissolves easily and disperses quickly in the glaze, which makes it suitable for direct addition on the glazing line.
Recommended dosages are approximately 0.2 – 0.5% for single-firing and porous-body applications, and 0.05 – 0.1% for double-firing processes.

Chemical basis
Purified sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).
