HPMC Manufacturer

Overview

Thickening Agent: Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is widely used as a thickener in building applications as it prevents segregation and improves the cohesion of the formulation components. In dry mix mortar, the thickening power is related to their solution viscosity. The addition of  HPMC shows excellent stickiness to wet mortar. That can significantly increase the adhesion of wet mortar to the base layer and improve the sag resistance of the mortar.

Features

Film Former: When HPMC solution dries, it can form thin films. This property is valuable in coatings, paints, and adhesives, providing protective barriers and enhancing surface durability and appearance.

Water Retention: HPMC has excellent water retention properties, making it valuable in construction materials like cement-based mortars, tile adhesives, and self-leveling compounds. It prevents rapid drying and enhances workability.

Suspension Stabilizer: HPMC is an effective suspending agent that prevents particles from settling in suspensions, such as paints, coatings, and personal care products.

Anti-sagging Ability: HPMC are auitable for a variety of construction mortars. HPMC can significantly increase the thixotropic properties of the mortar system, which allows the mortar with excellent anti-sagging ability, thereby improving construction efficiency, especially when building on walls. The good sag resistance of the mortar means that there will be no slippage when the mortar is constructed with a considerable thickness; for the tile pasting project, it means that the tiles pasted to the wall will not be displaced due to gravity.
