Construction Grade HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

Applications of the Construction Grade HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

1. Building Mortar & Plastering Mortar: HPMC mainly worked as water retention.

The high water retention of the building mortar and plastering mortar can fully hydrate the cement and significantly increase the bonding strength, at the same time,HPMC can appropriately increase the tensile strength and shear strength, greatly improve the construction effect and improve the work efficiency.

2. Water Resistant Wall Putty : HPMC works as a water retention, bond, and lubricating agent.

HPMC Cellulose ether in wall putty mainly serves to retain water, bond and lubricate to avoid cracking and dehydration caused by excessive water loss, while enhancing the adhesion of wall putty and reducing sagging during construction, making construction work smooth.

3. Gypsum Plaster System: HPMC works as water retention , thickener, lubricating agent.

In gypsum series, HPMC mainly plays the role of water retention, thickening, lubrication, and also has a certain retarding effect, which solves the problems of squatting and less initial strength during the construction process, which can prolong operating hours.

4. Interface Agent

In the interface agent, HPMC is mainly used as a thickener, which can improve the tensile strength and shear strength, improve the surface coating, enhance the adhesion and bonding strength.

5. External Wall Insulation SystemCellulose ethers HPMC in external wall external insulation mortars play a key role in bonding and increasing strength, make the mortar easier to coat, improve work efficiency, and at the same time have anti-sagging effect; The higher water retention performance can extend the working time of the mortar, improve the shrinkage resistance and crack resistance, improve the surface quality and increase the bonding strength.

6. Tile Adhesive Mortar

The high water retention of HPMC in the tile adhesive is help us don’t have to do pre-soak or wet the tiles and base, which significantly improves the bonding strength. The slurry has a long construction period, delicate, uniform, convenient construction, and has good resistance to migration.

7. Joint Filler & Grout

The addition of cellulose ether in filler & grouts makes mortar have good edge adhesion, low shrinkage and high abrasion resistance, protecting the base material from mechanical damage and avoiding penetration into the entire building belt Influence.

8. Leveling & Screeding Mortar

The stable adhesion of Cellulose Ether HPMC in leveling material guarantees good fluidity and self-leveling ability, controlling the water retention rate to enable it to solidify quickly and reduce cracking and shrinkage.

9. Emulsion Paints & Latex Coatings

In the emulsion paints, cellulose ethers can be used as film-forming agents, thickeners, emulsifiers and stabilizers, make the films have better wear resistance, uniformity, adhesion, and improved surface. The PH of the tension is qualitative, and the miscibility with organic solvents is also good. The high water retention performance makes it have good brushability and river flatness.

10. Honeycomb Ceramics

In the new honeycomb ceramics, HPMC makes the honeycomb pottery lubricity, water retention and strength to the blank.
