Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)
One, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether produced from natural high polymer 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 Tashong brand products, which feature high water retention, good dispersibility, fine particle size, ease of use, and easy solubility; they are suitable for a variety of new building materials such as dry powder mortar, water-resistant interior and exterior wall putty (paste), adhesives, sealants, primer, water-based coatings, self-leveling agents, etc.
In the production of construction materials, cellulose ether is an indispensable additive. After adding HPMC, the following properties can be improved:
1. Water Retention – Enhance water retention to improve the rapid drying and insufficient hydration of cement and gypsum building materials, which can lead to poor hardening and cracking phenomena.
2. Workability – Enhanced plasticity of mortar, improving the industrial nature of construction spreading, and increasing work efficiency.
3. Adhesiveness – Due to the increased plasticity of the mortar, it can better bond with the base material and the adhered objects.
Viscosity available in 50,000/100,000/150,000/200,000/250,000 cSt, choose the appropriate viscosity grade as needed.
