HPMC

Cellulose ether is a very important component in building materials that provides better water retention, strength and adhesion to cement, lime and gypsum based products. Cellulose ethers make it impossible to industrialize high quality mortars.

HPMC

HPMC

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether. It is odorless, tasteless, off white powder, can be dissolved in water and forms transparent viscous solution. HPMC is widely used in building materials, ceramic extrusions, personal-care products and many other fields, It will improve your products in water retention, bonding ability, thickening effects, dispersion rate and suspension etc.

The Dissolution Time

The dissolution time of HPMC in water (viscosity onset time from HPMC is put into water until the solution begins to thicken ) is mainly affected by the temperature and PH value of the aqueous solution.
The dissolution time is inversely proportional to PH. The greater the PH value is, the shorter the dissolution time will be.
The dissolution time is inversely proportional to the temperature of the aqueous solution. The higher the water temperature is, the shorter the dissolution time will be.

Self Leveling

Self leveling mortar can rely on its own weight to form a flat, smooth and solid foundation on the substrate, so as to lay or bond other materials, and can carry out large-area and efficient construction. Therefore, high fluidity is a very significant feature of self leveling mortar; In addition, it must also have a certain water retention and bonding strength, do not produce water separation, and have the characteristics of heat insulation and low temperature rise.

High dispersion

Low viscosity

Wide adaptability to different self leveling formulation systems

FAQ


What is HPMC used for?

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a cellulose ether in which the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose chain are replaced by methoxy or hydroxypropyl groups. HPMC is used as a thickener, adhesive and film former in agrochemicals, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, inks and a variety of other applications. The aqueous solution of HPMC undergoes reversible gelation when heated, thereby controllably increasing the green strength of the green ceramic body.


Is HPMC safe for humans?

HPMC is the abbreviation of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. It is a dissolving agent commonly used in pharmaceutical, food, construction and cosmetics fields. Overall, HPMC is generally considered safe and is widely used in many applications.

However, safety depends on use, dosage and individual differences. In the pharmaceutical and food industries, products using HPMC are often subject to necessary safety assessment and supervision. If you have safety concerns about HPMC for a specific use or product, it is best to consult the relevant scientific literature or consult a professional.


What are the disadvantages of HPMC?

HPMC, as a polymer, has shown good properties in many applications, but it also has some shortcomings. HPMC is a soluble dye in cold water and requires a certain temperature to fully dissolve. Thermal stability of HPMC may be relatively low compared to other materials. In high temperature environments, it may cascade or lose some performance. The strength of HPMC may decrease in dry environments, which may impact some applications requiring moisturizing strength.
