HPMC has a wide range of applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, detergent and construction. Its applications are based on its unique properties, which are a result of its chemical structure. In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC is used as a binder, disintegrant, and controlled-release agent in tablet formulations. Its high viscosity and good water retention […]

HPMC is a semi-synthetic polymer derived from cellulose. It is made by treating cellulose with an alkali solution to form alkali cellulose. The alkali cellulose is then reacted with methyl chloride and propylene oxide to form HPMC. The HPMC chemical structure is complex, but it can be simplified as a cellulose backbone with methyl and […]

Enhanced Workability and Processing: HPMC increases the workability of construction mixtures, facilitating smoother application and better finish quality. Its unique properties allow for precise material manipulation without compromising structural integrity. Superior Water Retention: By effectively retaining water within the mix, HPMC prevents premature drying and cracking, ensuring a durable end product. This feature is crucial […]

1. Cement Mortar HPMC significantly enhances the performance of cement mortar. It acts primarily as a water-retaining agent, improving the mortar’s workability and application ease. By preventing excessive water loss, HPMC ensures that the mortar maintains its consistency throughout the application process. This water retention is key to reducing shrinkage and cracking, which are common issues […]

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 […]

Thickening Effect HPMC serves as a thickening agent in tile adhesives, significantly increasing the consistency of the slurry and preventing sagging during application. This is particularly crucial for vertical surfaces, where the adhesive must stay in place to ensure proper tile adhesion. Water Retention HPMC’s excellent water retention properties slow down the evaporation of water, […]

Building grade HPMC can significantly reduce the water absorbed by the wall and has good water retention. On the one hand, it can ensure that the cement has a longer compounding time. On the other hand, it can ensure that workers can scrape the putty on the wall multiple times. To ensure the quality of […]

SLEO HPMC dissolves easily in cold water, and can also be used by the following quick dissolution methods: 1. Hot water method Add 1/3 or 2/3 of the required amount of water into the container, and heat to more than 80℃, because HPMC does not dissolve in hot water. Thus early HPMC can be evenly […]

1. Use in wall putty / skim coat In wall putty powder, HPMC plays three roles of thickening, water retention and workability. 2. Tile adhesive hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose hpmc: cellulose HPMC improves the plasticity and water retention of pressed tile mortar, improves the bonding force of tiles, and prevents chalking. 3. Coating of refractory materials such as asbestos Hydroxypropyl […]
