Cellulose ether uses in dry mix mortar

Cellulose ether HPMC(hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose) and MHEC(Methyl hydroxy ethyl cellulose) in dry mortar:  The water retention of cellulose ether(HPMC,MHEC) comes from its own solubility and dehydration. Although the molecular chain of cellulose contains a lot of hydroxyl groups with strong hydration properties, it is not soluble in water, This is because the cellulose structure has a […]

What are the dissolution methods of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose

hot water solution method: because HPMC is not dissolved in hot water, so the initial HPMC can be evenly dispersed in hot water, then quickly dissolved when cooling, two typical methods are described as follows: 1) Put the required amount of hot water in the container and heat it to about 70℃. Under the slow […]
