Abstract
Mellose is a viscose agent based on under water Cellulose (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose). It is commonly referred to as a a self-leveling agent that increases viscosity when is dissolved in water. It can be also described as an anti-washout concrete or non-dispersible concrete mixture. Mellose is an essential component of high performance concrete construction under water.
