HPMC For Self-leveling Mortar

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose HPMC

Made from natural cotton fiber by chemical processing, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) CAS9004-65-3 is non-ionic cellulose and can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution. It's tasteless, odorless and non-toxic white powder, with the characteristics of binding, thickening, dispersing, film coating, emulsifying, absorbing, suspending, gelling, water retention and colloid protection.

Construction grade Hydroxyporpyl Methyl Cellulose(HPMC)

Performance in building materials:

In building materials, the addition amount of HPMC is very low, only 0.1%-1%, but it plays an irreplaceable role and can significantly improve the water retention, fluidity and lubricity of building materials. Building materials added with HPMC are easier to mix and use, improve the work efficiency of construction workers, extend the open time, improve the bonding strength, and form a smooth and delicate surface coating.

Functions of HPMC for mortar

1. Water Retention HPMC powder significantly improves water retention, allowing cement to hydrate properly, enhancing adhesion to substrates, and preventing rapid water loss, which can cause drying and cracking. This ensures longer working times and better overall application quality.

2. Enhanced Bond Strength Incorporating HPMC into mortar improves bonding strength by forming a thin film around particles, enhancing the interaction between the mortar and substrates. This robust bond reduces the risk of delamination and ensures reliable adhesion even in high-temperature environments.

3. Improved Workability and Application HPMC enhances mortar workability by reducing friction between particles, making application easier and more efficient. Its thickening effect ensures optimal consistency, improves cohesion, and provides anti-dripping properties, crucial for thick layer constructions and tile adhesives.

4. Reduced Shrinkage and Cracking By introducing stable, tiny bubbles into the fresh mortar, HPMC for mortar improves workability and reduces shrinkage and cracking. This increases the yield and durability of the mortar, ensuring long-lasting results.

5. Increased Flexural Strength HPMC chemical strengthens the mortar matrix, improving its flexural strength and ability to withstand bending forces. This enhances the mortar's resistance to external stresses, ensuring the structural stability of the building.

Self Leveling mortar HPMC application guide

• keep the liquidity and increase the water retention, make smooth surface of the self leveling mortar and avoid cracks on the surface.

• Can be used as the suspension agent, make all the materials disperse in the wet mortar, prevent the slurry sedimentation.
