Applications

Self-levelling HPMC

‌HPMC plays an important role in self-leveling mortar. ‌


HPMC, or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, is a cellulose ether obtained by chemical modification of natural cellulose. In self-leveling mortar, the main functions of HPMC include: ‌Thickening effect‌: HPMC has a high viscosity and can effectively increase the viscosity of self-leveling mortar, making it have good fluidity. At the same time, its thickening effect can prevent the mortar from segregating and bleeding during the construction process, ensuring the construction quality and efficiency. ‌Water retention effect‌: HPMC has good water retention performance and can effectively retain moisture in the mortar. This can extend the drying time of the mortar and fully hydrate the mortar, thereby improving the strength and durability. ‌Plasticizing effect‌: HPMC can increase the plasticity of self-leveling mortar, making it have good plasticity and operability during the construction process. This helps prevent cracking and shrinkage of the mortar and improves the construction quality and efficiency. ‌Improving construction performance‌: HPMC can improve the construction performance of self-leveling mortar, making it have good fluidity and operability during the construction process. Through its thickening, water retention and plasticizing effects, it can reduce waste and rework during construction and improve construction efficiency and quality.


In summary, the application of HPMC in self-leveling mortar, through its unique physical and chemical properties, significantly improves the performance and quality of mortar, and also improves construction efficiency and engineering quality.‌‌

FAQ

  • What is the main use of 1-Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)?

    HPMC is widely used in industries such as construction materials, coatings, synthetic resins, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, food, textiles, agriculture, cosmetics, and tobacco. HPMC can be classified into architectural grade, food grade, and pharmaceutical grade based on its application. Currently, most domestically produced HPMC falls under the architectural grade category. In the architectural grade, a large amount of HPMC is used in putty powder, accounting for approximately 90% of its usage, while the rest is used in cement mortar and adhesives.
