Tile Adhesives HPMC

‌HPMC's role in tile adhesives mainly includes improving water retention, enhancing bonding strength, improving construction performance, and providing good anti-slip properties. ‌


HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), as a high-quality viscosity-enhancing material, plays an important role in tile adhesives. By applying HPMC scientifically and rationally, the adhesion and durability of tile adhesives can be effectively improved, while improving construction performance and reducing production costs. In tile adhesives, HPMC's high water retention allows for no need to pre-soak or wet the tiles and substrate, significantly improving its bonding strength. In addition, HPMC also makes the slurry construction cycle long, fine and uniform, and easy to construct. At the same time, it has good anti-slip properties, protects the base material from mechanical damage, and avoids the negative impact of water penetration on the entire building.


These characteristics of HPMC are essential to improving the construction quality and service life of tile adhesives, making tile bonding more secure, reducing shedding and cracking caused by material drying, shrinkage or external forces, thereby ensuring the beauty and durability of tile paving.

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.
