Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose(HPMC)
HPMC manufacturer
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) are non-ionic cellulose ether & its derivatives that have hyrdroxyl groups on the cellulose chain substituted for a methoxy or hydroxypropyl group. HPMC is made from natural cotton linter under chemical reaction,which can be dissolved in both cold water and hot water to form a transparent solution. HPMC is used as a thickener, binder, and film former in construction, pharmaceutical,food, cosmetic, detergent, paints, adhesives, inks, PVC and various other applications.CAS NO.:9004-65-3

- Applicationfields:
1）Tile Adhesives
- Better workability: lubricity and plasticity of plaster is ensured, mortar can be applied easier and quicker.
- Good water retention: prolonged opening time will make tiling more efficient.
- Improved adhesion and sliding resistance: especially for heavy tiles.
2）Dry mixed mortar
- Easy dry mix formula due to cold water solubility: lump formation can be easily avoided, ideal for heavy tiles.
- Good water retention: prevention of fluid loss to the substrates, the appropriate water content is kept in mixture which guarantees longer concreting time.
3）Cement/Gypsum based Plaster
- Increased water demand: increased open time, expanded spry area and more economical formulation.
- Easier spreading and improved sagging resistance due to improved consistency.
4）Wall putty/Skimcoat
- Water retention: maximized water content in slurry.
- Anti-sagging: when spreading a thicker coat corrugation can be avoided.
- Increased mortar yield: depending on the weight of the dry mixture and appropriate formulation ,HPMC can increase the mortar volume.
5）Exterior Insulation and Finish System ( EIFS )
- Improved adhesion.
- Good wetting ability for EPS board and substrate.
- Reduced air entrancement and water uptake.
6）Self-leveling
- Protection from water exudation and material sedimentation.
- No effect on slurry fluidity with low viscosity
HPMC, while its water retention characteristics improve the finish performance on the surface.
7）Crack Filler
- Better workability: proper thickness and plasticity.
- Water retention ensures prolonged work time.
- Sag resistance: improved mortar bonding ability.
