Water retention of cellulose ethers Water retention of mortar refers to the ability of mortar to retain  and lock moisture. The higher the viscosity of cellulose ether, the  better the water retention. Because the cellulose structure contains hydroxyl and ether bonds, the oxygen atom on the hydroxyl and   ether bond group is associated with the water […]

In the building materials industry, cellulose ethers have an extremely wide range of uses. The amount is large and they can serve as retarders, water-retaining agents, thickeners and binders. Cellulose ethers play important roles in ordinary dry mortar, efficient exterior wall insulation mortar, self-leveling mortar, dry plaster adhesives, dry mortar for tile adhesive, high-performance construction […]

Applications of cellulose ethers in the Construction Industry One of the primary applications of cellulose ethers is in the construction industry. When used in cementitious tile adhesives, cellulose ethers enhance water retention, contribute to strength development, improve slip resistance, extend open time, and enhance wetting ability. For tile grouts, play a pivotal role in enhancing […]

Cellulose ethers, such as Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC), are essential in the construction industry for their ability to enhance the properties of various building materials. Here’s a more detailed look at how HPMC and other cellulose ethers are used as construction chemicals: Key Uses of Cellulose Ethers in Construction Tile Adhesives: Role: HPMC improves the […]

Cellulose, particularly in the form of cellulose ethers like Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC), plays a key role in water retention for putty and mortar by affecting hydration and reducing evaporation. Here’s how: Hydration: Cellulose acts as a thickening agent. When mixed with water, it forms a gel-like network that holds water molecules within its structure. […]

Cellulose ethers are water-soluble polymers made from cellulose, the main structural component of plants. There are several types of cellulose ethers, each with unique properties that make them ideal for a variety of applications. Industrial-grade cellulose ethers are used in everything from pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to construction and textile manufacturing. In addition, they can also […]
