HPMC for self-leveling flooring materials
HPMC with low viscosity is widely used in self-leveling. Self-leveling is a very advanced construction technique. Since the whole ground is naturally leveled with very little interference of construction personnel, flatness and construction speed are greatly enhanced compared with the previous manual smoothing processes. In self-leveling, the dry-mixing time uses the excellent water-holding capacity of […]
HPMC for Medicine
Introduction Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, non-toxic and harmless, is approved as additives by the food, drug and cosmetics regulations of all the countries. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is an excipient with a wider application in formulations in recent years. In medicine, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose can be used in various dosage forms. In tablets, pills, powders, liquid, emulsions, suspensions, and paste, […]
Pharmaceutical Grade HPMC
Introduction HPMC is white powder, tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, completely unchanged in the human body and excreted. The product is soluble in water, and the aqueous solution is a colorless, transparent, viscous substance. HPMC has excellent thickening, emulsifying, film-forming, dispersion, protective colloids, adhesion, acid and alkali resistance, anti-enzyme and other properties, and is widely used in […]
The advantage of HPMC for insulation mortar
1. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose can enhance the adhesion to the surface of the wall, enhance water-holding capacity, and thus improve the strength of mortar. 2. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose can improve lubricity as well as plasticity, and thus to improve the construction performance. The compound with the use of starch ethers can enhance the mortar, […]
Why add HPMC into mortar？
1）Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) helps to significantly improve the water-holding capacity of mortar. Just a low level of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose addition can lead to a significant improvement in the water retention rate of the mortar. 2）When the addition level is 0.002%, the water retention rate increases from 83% to 88%; while the former is […]
Influence of HPMC viscosity and fineness on mortr performance
Viscosity and fineness are important indicators that affect the performance of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose. Studies have shown that the water-holding effects of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose will increase with the increase of its viscosity, but when the viscosity is more than 40000 MPa·s, the increase of water-holding capacity, with the increase of viscosity, will be limited […]
Applications of Cellulose Ether in Building Materials
Overview of Cellulose Ether Cellulose ether is a kind of non-ionic semi-synthetic polymer, and has two kinds, water soluble and solvent soluble. Its effects caused in different industries are different. For example, in chemical building materials, it has the following combined effects: ①water-retaining agent, ② thickener, ③leveling property, ④film-forming property, ⑤binder; while in the PVC […]
Effects of Cellulose Ether in Ready-Mixed Mortar
The cellulose ether is the powdered cellulose ether generated by reactions with such etherification agents as ethylene chloride, propylene chloride, and ethylene oxide after chemical treatment, with wood fibers and refined short cotton fibers as the main raw materials. The ionic cellulose (carboxymethyl cellulose salt) is unstable in the presence of calcium ions, so the […]
Improvement effects of HPMC on mortar
Dispersion resistance is an important technical indicator to measure the quality of dispersion-resistant agents. As a water-soluble polymer compound, also known as water-soluble resin or water-soluble polymer, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose（HPMC） is s a hydrophilic polymer material by increasing the viscosity of mixing water to increase the consistency of its mixture and can be dissolved in […]
What’s the effects of HPMC for the Cement-Based Building Material Mortar
1.Water-Holding Capacity Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) helps to significantly improve the water-holding capacity of mortar. Just a low level of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose addition can lead to a significant improvement in the water retention rate of the mortar. When the addition level is 0.002%, the water retention rate increases from 83% to 88%; while […]
