hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) is a vital compound that is used to improve various materials’ properties, including, but not limited to, building materials, ceramics, and paints. This compound has gained popularity in Ghana for its versatility in enhancing various materials’ characteristics. HEMC, when used in ceramic tiles, significantly improves their strength, making them more resistant to wear and tear. It is therefore an essential component for the production of high-quality ceramic tiles. Its viscosity properties also make it ideal for paints, where it is used as a thickener to improve paint coverage. One of the advantages of HEMC is its compatibility with different construction materials, including cement, gypsum, and lime. It is used to enhance the performance of these materials by improving their adhesive properties, and it is essential for the production of high-quality mortar. The use of HEMC is not limited to Ghana. Many countries worldwide have embraced the use of this compound in their construction industries. In Russia, HEMC is a crucial component in hydraulic systems, where it is used as a binding agent. In the United States, it is used as a dispersant in cement and as a thickener in paints. In the Philippines, HEMC is an essential ingredient in cement-based adhesives, where it is used to improve their workability and consistency. In Morocco, it is used to improve the durability of concrete and to maximize the strength of building materials by reducing water absorption. In Palestine, HEMC is widely used as a binding agent in cement bricks, making them stronger and more durable. In conclusion, Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose is a vital compound in the construction industry. Its properties make it an essential ingredient in various construction materials. This versatile compound has gained popularity in Ghana and other countries worldwide. Its compatibility with different construction materials and its ability to improve their properties make it a valuable component that every construction company should embrace.

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 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

Quick Find

Faq

  • What is the main use of 1-Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (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 is the application of HPMC in putty powder, and what causes the formation of bubbles in putty powder?

    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.
  • Is there any relationship between powder loss in putty and HPMC?

    Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose, in English: Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose, also known as HPMC or MHPC. Other names: Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose; Cellulose Hydroxypropyl Methyl Ether; Hypromellose; Cellulose, 2-hydroxypropylmethyl Cellulose ether; Cellulose hydroxypropyl methyl ether; Hyprolose.
  • What is the relationship between the gelation temperature of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and something else?

    The viscosity of HPMC is inversely proportional to temperature, meaning that viscosity increases as temperature decreases. When we refer to the viscosity of a certain product, it generally refers to the measurement result of its 2% water solution at 20 degrees Celsius. In practical applications, in regions with large temperature differences between summer and winter, it is advisable to use relatively lower viscosity during winter for better construction. Otherwise, at low temperatures, the viscosity of the cellulose increases, resulting in a heavier feel during application. Medium viscosity: 75,000-100,000 (mainly used for putty) Reason: Good water retention. High viscosity: 150,000-200,000 (mainly used for polystyrene particle insulation mortar powder and foamed glass bead insulation mortar) Reason: High viscosity, reduces mortar dusting and sagging, improves construction. However, in general, higher viscosity provides better water retention. Therefore, many dry mortar manufacturers consider using medium-viscosity cellulose (75,000-100,000) instead of low-viscosity cellulose (20,000-40,000) to reduce the dosage and costs.
