Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)
One, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether produced from natural high molecular materials through a series of chemical processing.
It encompasses nearly all the properties of methylcellulose (MC), making it an ideal additive for producing high-quality building materials. To meet the demand for green and environmentally friendly products, our factory has specially developed and produced the Tashong brand, which boasts high water retention, excellent dispersion, fine particle size, good workability, and ease of dissolution; it is suitable for new building materials such as dry powder mortar, water-resistant jointing compound for interior and exterior walls, adhesives, sealants, primers, water-based paints, and self-leveling agents.
In the production of construction materials, cellulose ether is an indispensable additive. After adding HPMC, the following properties can be improved:
1. Water Retention – Enhances water retention, improving the properties of cement and gypsum building materials to prevent rapid drying and insufficient hydration, which can lead to poor hardening and cracking.
2. Workability – Increased plasticity of mortar, improving the industrial nature of construction application, enhancing work efficiency.
3. Adhesiveness – The increased plasticity of the mortar allows for better adhesion to the base material and adhered objects.
Viscosity available in 50,000/100,000/150,000/200,000/250,000 units, select the appropriate viscosity grade according to usage requirements.
