Description
ADDAGE CELLULOSE FIBER are popular dry mix raw materials in the construction industry. It is added to the cement to complete the hydration process on a deeper level. It effectively prevents microcracking and reduces shrinkage to achieve better results in construction.
Our cellulose fiber can be blended with wall putty/skim coat, tile adhesives, joint filling compounds, and stucco/plasters. Sakshi Chem Sciences Pvt Ltd formulated cellulose fiber is odorless and appears in white to slight color.
Regarding its chemical properties, its balanced pH ranges between 6-8, and a moisture content of no more than 8%, ADDAGE CELLULOSE FIBER ensures optimal chemical stability and performance.
When ADDAGE CELLULOSE FIBER is used with cement, it has a better internal self-curing action and provides a long open time. In terms of its dosage, it should be used 1% by weight of the total mix (i.e., 10 Kg in 1 Ton).
ADDAGE CELLULOSE FIBER is available in 25 Kg of bag. Store our cellulose fiber in a cool, dry location, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. The shelf life of cellulose fiber is up to 12 months from the date of its delivery, use it before the mentioned time to achieve the best results.
Key Features
ADDAGE CELLULOSE FIBER is a high-quality additive produced by Sakshi Chem Sciences Pvt Ltd. This hydrophilic cellulose fiber is intended for use in the improvement of cement-based materials, such as wall putty, skim coats, tile adhesives, and plaster.
The cellulose fibers have excellent water absorption and retention properties. When incorporated into a cement or mortar formulation, ADDAGE CELLULOSE FIBER retains water within the mixture and releases that moisture over time during the curing time.
This controlled release of moisture during the curing process will allow for proper hydration of the cement and increase the final strength of the overall mixture.

Recommended Applications
ADDAGE CELLULOSE FIBER is widely used in a variety of construction applications due to its excellent moisture retention and strengthening properties.
Wall Putty and Skim Coat
When used in wall putty formulations, cellulose fiber improves adhesion, workability, and surface smoothness.
Tile Adhesive
In tile adhesive formulations, the fibers enhance water retention and increase the open time, allowing better tile positioning during installation.
Joint Filling Compounds
Cellulose fibers help prevent shrinkage cracks and improve the durability of joint filling materials.
Stucco and Plaster
The fibers improve cohesion and reduce cracking in plaster applications, ensuring a strong and uniform surface.
Because of its performance characteristics, cellulose fiber for concrete is widely used in modern construction formulations.
Product Benefits
Prevents Micro-Cracking
Cellulose fibers enhance the properties of cementitious materials and minimize the formation of micro-cracking during the curing process.
Internal Self-Curing
The cellulose fibers hold water and will release it slowly, ensuring that the concrete materials receive adequate water to maintain proper hydration.
Enhanced Workability
Addage Cellulose Fiber improves the consistency and spreadability of both mortar and plaster.
Reduced Shrinkage
Controlled moisture release from cellulose fibers reduces shrinkage and creates much stronger and more stable surfaces.
Open Time Extended
With the addition of cellulose fibers to a construction material, the concrete will remain workable longer, allowing better application and finishing.
Stronger Construction Material
Due to cellulose fibers’ ability to improve hydration and reduce cracking of cement-based materials, cellulose fibers create stronger and longer-lasting buildings and structures.
Packaging
Addage Cellulose Fiber is sold in: 25 kg bag
Packaging allows for ease of handling, safe shipping, and convenient storage related to construction and industrial uses.
Storage and Shelf Life
Safety Precautions
Although Cellulose Fiber is generally safe to handle, standard industrial safety guidelines should be followed.
