Water retention principle of cellulose in putty and mortar
Cellulose, particularly in the form of cellulose ethers like Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC), plays a key role in water retention for putty and mortar by affecting hydration and reducing evaporation. Here’s how: Hydration: Cellulose acts as a thickening agent. When mixed with water, it forms a gel-like network that holds water molecules within its structure. […]
