HPMC Cellulose for Pakistan

In Pakistan, the construction industry is rapidly growing, and the demand for high-quality building materials is increasing day by day. The use of HPMC Cellulose has become prominent in the construction industry as it is one of the most versatile materials used for various purposes. HPMC cellulose is a cellulose ether made from natural wood pulp. It is widely used in the manufacturing of building materials, such as cement-based products, plaster, and putty. It is also preferred in the food and pharmaceutical industry as it is non-toxic, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic. One of the major advantages of HPMC cellulose is its ability to improve the properties of construction materials. It enhances the water retention capacity and workability of cement-based products, leading to a superior quality finish. It also improves the bonding strength and reduces the cracking of plaster and putty, providing a durable and long-lasting solution. In Pakistan, the use of HPMC cellulose has gained immense popularity among the construction industry. Due to its versatility and superior quality, it has become a preferred choice for builders, contractors, and engineers. With its growing demand, the availability of HPMC cellulose has become easier, providing a win-win situation for both the suppliers and the customers. Apart from Pakistan, HPMC cellulose has become a sought-after material in other countries, including Malta, Russia, United States, and Peru. With its increasing popularity and demand, suppliers have started to focus on providing high-quality HPMC cellulose to meet the market requirements. In conclusion, the use of HPMC cellulose has revolutionized the construction industry in Pakistan. Its versatility, quality, and ease of use have made it a preferred choice among builders and contractors. The growing demand in Pakistan and other countries, including Malta, Russia, United States, and Peru, has paved the way for suppliers to provide high-quality HPMC cellulose and meet the market requirements.

Application

Hydroxyethyl cellulose（HEC）

The most important property of hydroxyethyl cellulose powder is that it acts as a thickener, in creasing the viscosity of the liquid,and its thickening depends on its concentration. If you're searching for a versatile solution that enhances the performance of your products, look no further than Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) powder.

Gypsum Special Grade HPMC

The gypsum special grade hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC has the characteristics of high water retention, dispersibility, good fineness, good workability and easy dissolution. widely used in gypsum products like gypsum plaster, adhesive plaster, embedded gypsum, tile adhesives etc.

Daily Chemical Products Additive

Daily Chemical HPMC has a variety of properties such as thickening, foam stabllization,emulifiation, and easy dispersion. Shampoo Additive HPMC has good compatibility with various additives of other daily chemical products. It is widely used in detergents, shower gels, shampoos, hand sanitizers, and laundry liquid and other products.

Tile Adhesive Additive

Tile Adhesive Additive HPMC can ensure the smooth construction on difterent base surtaces, even when the ambient temperalure is relalively harsh, the tile adhesive can be given a long enough open time and adjustable time.

Gypsum Additive

In gypsum products, the focus is on water retention, retardation and lubrication. Different gypsum has different effects on product performance, so thickening, water retention, and retardation determine the quality of gypsum building materials.

Mortar Additive

Adding hydroxypropyl metylellulose can improve anti-sip performance, improve wetting performance, thicken, improve batch scraping and slipping, easy to level, improve surface performance and strength, and have very good compatibility with other additives.

Putty Powder Additive

Hydroxypropyl metylcellulose is a commonly used raw material in powdered building materials, which greatly improves the slip performance and anti-sag performance of the construction, improves the wettability, improves the anti-slip performance of the putty, improves the leveling effect of the putty, and improves the construction eficlency.

How much do you know about Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC)?

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether obtained by cellulose alkalization, etherification, neutralization and washing. HPMC has good thickening, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming properties, etc.It is the first choice for production of high quality building materials additives.

How to improve the adhesion of putty

When encountering the projects that have been constructed, it is found that the adhesion of putty on the exterior wall is poor, the following methods can be adopted to improve the adhesion of putty:

Dissolution Method

Take the required amount of hot water into the container and heat to above 85., stir slowly and add the product gradually The cellulose initially floats on the water, but gradually disperses in water and forms homogeneous slurry. Goon stirring until it cools down and becomes clear

Faq

Regarding the relationship between viscosity and temperature in HPMC (HPMC viscosity), what should be noted in practical applications?

1. Whiteness: Although whiteness alone does not determine the usefulness of HPMC, higher-quality products usually have better whiteness. 2. Fineness: HPMC is typically available in 80 and 100 mesh sizes, with fewer options in 120 mesh. Finer particles generally indicate better quality. 3. Transmittance: When HPMC is dissolved in water and forms a transparent colloidal solution, higher transmittance indicates fewer insoluble impurities. 4. Specific gravity: Higher specific gravity is generally better. A higher specific gravity is often due to a higher content of hydroxypropyl, which results in better water retention.

What are the other names for Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)?

HPMC has three functions in putty powder: thickening, water retention, and facilitating construction. It does not participate in any reaction. The formation of bubbles in putty powder can be caused by two reasons: (1) Excessive water content. (2) Applying another layer on top before the bottom layer has dried, which can also lead to the formation of bubbles.

What are the differences between HPMC and MC?

For putty applications, a lower viscosity of 100,000 is sufficient, and good water retention is important. For mortar applications, higher viscosity of 150,000 is preferred. For adhesive applications, a high-viscosity, quick-dissolving product is required.

What is the main function of HPMC in putty powder and does it undergo a chemical reaction?

In the application of HPMC in putty powder, it plays three roles: thickening, water retention, and facilitating construction. Thickening: Cellulose can thicken the mixture, maintain uniform suspension, and prevent sagging. Water retention: It slows down the drying process of putty powder and assists in the reaction of lime and calcium in water. Construction: Cellulose acts as a lubricant, improving the workability of the putty powder. HPMC does not participate in any chemical reactions; it only serves as an auxiliary agent. When putty powder is mixed with water and applied to the wall, a chemical reaction occurs because new substances are formed. However, if the putty powder is scraped off the wall, ground into powder, and reused, it is not suitable because a new substance (calcium carbonate) has already formed. The main components of lime and calcium powder are Ca(OH)2, CaO, and a small amount of CaCO3. The reaction can be represented as: CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 — Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 ↓ + H2O. Under the action of water and carbon dioxide in the air, lime and calcium carbonate are formed. HPMC only assists in water retention and the better reaction of lime and calcium; it does not participate in any reactions itself.
