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

Construction Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC):

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is also named as MHPC, which is non-ionic cellulose ether, HPMC is a powder of white to off-white color, that function as a thickener, binder, film-former, surfactant, protective colloid, lubricant, emulsifier, and suspension and water retention aid.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) Construction Grade are widely used in Tile adhesives, dry mixed mortar, wall putty, Skim coat,joint filler, self-levelling , cement and gypsum based plaster etc.We can provide both non-modified grade and modified grade HPMC, which has long open time, good water retention, excellent workability and Good slipping resistance etc.

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.
