HPMC types of non-ionic cellulose ether, which are 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. In addition, these types of cellulose ethers exhibit properties of thermal gelation, metabolic inertness, enzyme resistance, low odor and taste, and pH stability.
Due to the myriad of properties, HPMC is often used to substitute many other additives with lower concentration, making HPMC an incredibly efficient and effective additive in areas of Adhesives,Construction, Household Products, and etc.
1. Operationality: It can enhance the plasticity of mortar and improve the coating efficiency in construction projects.
2. 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 hydra…
