HEMC has also been found to be an eco-friendly alternative to other petroleum-based chemicals, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. As the demand for HEMC in Turkmenistan and other countries continues to increase, the need for high-quality and reliable suppliers has also risen. It is important to source HEMC from reputable and experienced manufacturers who can provide consistent and reliable quality supply. In conclusion, the versatility of HEMC makes it a valuable chemical compound in numerous industries, including construction, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Turkmenistan and other countries alike have recognized its potential and are using it in various applications. To ensure quality and reliability, it is crucial to source HEMC from experienced and trustworthy manufacturers.

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

Faq

What are the main technical indicators of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?

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 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.

What are the main raw materials of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?

1. Hot water dissolution method: HPMC does not dissolve in hot water, but it can disperse evenly in hot water initially and then rapidly dissolve upon cooling. There are two typical methods described as follows: (1) Place the required amount of hot water in a container and heat it to approximately 70°C. Gradually add HPMC while stirring slowly. Initially, HPMC will float on the water's surface and gradually form a slurry, which cools down under stirring. (2) Add 1/3 or 2/3 of the required amount of water to a container and heat it to 70°C. Disperse HPMC according to method (1) to prepare a hot water slurry. Then, add the remaining cold water to the hot water slurry and cool the mixture after stirring. 2. Powder mixing method: Mix HPMC powder with a large amount of other powdered substances using a blender. Afterward, add water for dissolution. In this case, HPMC can dissolve without clumping because each tiny corner of the powder contains only a small amount of HPMC, which dissolves immediately upon contact with water. This method is commonly used in putty powder and mortar production.

What are the differences between HPMC and MC?

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.
