HPMC improves the consistency and ease of application of construction materials, making them easier to spread and apply.
Enhanced Water Retention
It significantly increases the water retention capacity of cement and gypsum-based products, preventing premature drying and improving the curing process. This leads to better strength development and reduced risk of cracks.
Increased Adhesion
HPMC enhances the adhesive properties of construction materials, ensuring better bonding between substrates.
Extended Open Time
It provides extended open time, allowing more time for adjustments during the application process.
Rheology Modification
HPMC helps in adjusting the rheological properties (flow behavior) of construction materials, making them more manageable during application.
Improved Sag Resistance
It improves the sag resistance of mortars and adhesives, preventing them from sliding off vertical surfaces.
Consistency and Stability
HPMC ensures the consistency and stability of construction materials, preventing phase separation and sedimentation.
