Unleashing the Potential of HPMC in Gypsum Plaster and Beyond
October 22nd 2024
Adding an appropriate amount of HPMC to tile adhesives can significantly improve their overall performance. Studies show that an HPMC content of about 0.2%-0.5% is generally sufficient to achieve desired results. The specific benefits include:
– Extended Open Time
Provides greater flexibility during application, reducing rework.
– Enhanced Anti-Slip Properties
Prevents tiles from slipping, especially on vertical surfaces.
– Ease of Application
Improves thixotropy, making the adhesive easier to spread and level.
– Increased Bond Strength
Maintains strong adhesion in humid environments and under temperature fluctuations.
