Application Effects of HPMC
December 24th 2024Adding 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.
