Methyl cellulose MC and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) have stable chemical properties. Mildew resistance and water retention are not affected by changes in pH. Viscosity can be used between 50,000 and 200,000, but in production, higher viscosity is better. Viscosity is inversely proportional to bond strength. The higher the viscosity, the lower the strength. Regarding […]

MC is a kind of methyl cellulose, which is obtained by treating refined cotton with alkali and using MC as etherification agent through a series of reactions to generate cellulose ether.The degree of substitution is generally 1.6 to 2.0, depending on the solubility. HPMC is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, is refined cotton alkalization, with acetal oxide […]

The content of redispersible polymer powder include: polymer powder, additives, protection colloid and anti-caking agent. ● polymer powder: It is the key content of redispersible polymer powder and provide the key properties of redispersible polymer powder in applications. For example Maissen RDP products is based on VEA(vinyl ethylene acetate copolymers). ● Protection colliod: It is a kind of […]

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 […]

The main advantages of Mailose HPMC, MHEC in dry mix mortar: Wall putty/Plaster: • Sag-resistance: Mailose HPMC, MHEC can provide a good viscosity of the wet mortar, prevent wall putty sagging. • The good filming property on the surface of wall putty, could reduce the water absorption of base wall. Reduce the risk of cracking. […]

Redispersible polymer powder(RDP) and other inorganic adhesives (such as cement, slaked lime, gypsum, clay, etc.) and various aggregates, fillers and other additives (such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, starch ether, cellulose fiber, etc.) After physical mixing, dry-mix mortar is made. When dry powder mortar is mixed in water, under the action of hydrophilic protective colloid and mechanical shear force, […]

HPMC introduction： HPMC or hypromellose is the short name for hydroxyrpopyl methyl cellulose. It is produced from natural cellulose by alkaliization and etherification.  It is a kind of cellulose derivatives. HPMC could improve the performance of dry mix mortar with a low dosage. It is a important additive in dry mix mortar products. HPMC properties: […]

Dry mix mortar plays a crucial role in the construction industry, providing strength and durability to various structures. One key ingredient that enhances the properties of dry mix mortar is HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose). HPMC is a versatile additive that offers several benefits, including improved workability, increased adhesion, enhanced water retention, and better sag resistance. In this article, […]

1. Preparation-Mixed Concrete: HPMC is widely used in the production of ready-mix concrete to enhance workability and pumpability. It enables the transportation and placement of concrete over long distances without segregation or slump loss. Moreover, HPMC improves the workability of concrete surfaces, resulting in smoother and aesthetically pleasing finishes. 2. Mortar and Grouting: In mortar and […]
