Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose (HPMC) are widely used in construction, pharmaceutical,food, cosmetic, detergent, paints, as thickener, emulsifier, film-former, binder, dispersing agent, protective colloids.
HPMC-Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose and Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose and non-ionic cellulose ether made by natural high polymer cellulose as raw material and series of chemical processing. They are odorless, tasteless and non-toxic white powder, which can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution. Processing thickening, binding, dispersing, emulsifying, film, coating, suspending, absorbing, gelling, surface activity, water maintaining and protective colloid properties

Application : 

1. Water Retention: The water retention will be enhanced, which is helpful with such problems as construction material drying too fast and poor hardening or cracking due to insufficient  hydration.

2. Operationality: It can enhance the plasticity of mortar and improve the coating efficiency in construction projects.

3. Adhesivity: It can make mortar attach to base material better since the plasticity of mortar is enhanced.

4. Slip Resistance: It can prevent slipping problem between mortar and the base material in construction project as a result of its thickening effect.
