Building mortar is a mortar that bonds masonry block materials (bricks, stones, blocks) as a whole. It is composed of inorganic cementitious materials, fine aggregates and water, and sometimes certain admixtures. Admixtures include HPMC, redispersible polymer powder and high-efficiency water reducer. These additives make the mortar easier to use and achieve the best results.
Haoshuo HPMC is a non-ionic cellulose ether, white to off-white powder, which can be used as a thickener, adhesive, film former, surfactant, protective colloid, lubricant, emulsifier, suspending agent and water retention aid. In addition, these types of cellulose ethers also have the characteristics of thermal gelation, metabolic inertness, enzyme resistance, low odor and taste, and pH stability.
Due to its various properties, HPMC is often used to replace many other additives with lower concentrations, making HPMC a very efficient and effective additive and thickener in building mortar.
The mortar has good fluidity and suitable air entrainment. Adding cellulose ether can reduce the density of the mortar, improve the workability, and increase the output of the mortar. At the same time, the air trapped in the mortar makes the concrete have better thermal insulation.
Cement Plaster / Dry Mix Mortar
• Simple dry mix formula due to cold water solubility: can easily avoid caking, very suitable for thick tiles.
• Good water retention: prevent liquid loss into the substrate, maintain the right moisture content in the mixture, thus ensuring longer concrete setting time.
• Increased water consumption: increase open time, expand spraying area, more economical formulation.
• Easier to spread and improved anti-sagging due to improved consistency.

Whether you are carrying out small repairs or building walls, knowing how to mix the mortar needs to be precise. If the mortar is too dry, the blocks will not stick together properly. If it is too wet, flowing mortar can spill out of the joints, resulting in wasted time and materials for clean-up.
