Construction Grade HPMC Manufacturer Cellulose

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose methocel are ethers of cellulose and propylene oxide. It is easily soluble in cold water but not soluble in hot water. It is non-ionic cellulose ether and is compatible with many surfactants and polymers such as starch, guar and alginates. Solutions of ement additive hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ether HPMC powder are pseudoplastic, some solutions show thixotropy.
Shandong Michem HPMC industrial grade Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose methocel polymers are well-known for their ability to bind, retain water, thicken, form films, and provide many other performance benefits.

Application

HPMC are widely used as thickener, emulsifier, film-former, binder, dispersing agent, protective colloids, etc in construction materials, paints, paper making industry, printing, synthetic resins, ceramics, textiles, agriculture, etc

Product properties

1.   Water Retention: The water retention will be enhanced, which is helpful with such problems as cement or gypsum construction material drying too fast and poor hardening or cracking due to insufficient hydration.

 2. Operationality: It can enhance the plasticity of mortar and improve the coating efficiency in construction projects.

 3. Adhesivity: It can make mortar attach to base material better since the plasticity of mortar is enhanced.

 4. Slip Resistance: It can prevent slipping problem between mortar and the base material in construction project as a result of its thickening effect.

 Advantages:

• Good water retention: prolonged opening time will make tiling more efficient.
• Improved adhesion and sliding resistance: especially for heavy tiles.
• Better workability: lubricity and plasticity of plaster is ensured, mortar can be applied easier and quicker.
