hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose for Indonesia

hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) has been widely used in various industries such as construction, pharmaceuticals, and food products due to its unique properties. Indonesia has now become a prominent buyer of HPMC and is readily exploring the potential benefits that it can offer. HPMC is a slightly off-white powder that is soluble in water and some organic solvents. It is derived from cellulose and undergoes chemical modifications to increase its water retention efficiency, viscosity, and film-forming abilities. In construction, HPMC acts as a binder, thickener, and water-retaining agent, used in dry mix mortars, jointing compounds, and tile adhesives. Indonesia's construction industry is booming at an exponential rate, with new infrastructure and real estate projects in the pipeline. HPMC can play a significant role in supporting the growth of the Indonesian construction industry. Its water retention properties help to prolong the setting time of cement and prevent it from drying out too quickly. This, in turn, can lead to stronger and more durable concrete structures. Besides construction, HPMC is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a binder, a thickener and a stabilizer. Indonesia's pharmaceutical market is also on the rise, and HPMC offers a suitable solution in ensuring the quality of drug delivery systems. It is essential to note that not all HPMC is created equal. The quality and reliability of HPMC depend on the manufacturing process, raw materials, and testing regulations used. Buyers must choose their suppliers wisely and opt for those who emphasize quality control and compliance with international standards. Indonesia's demand for HPMC can partly be met by manufacturers from the United States, Palestine, Malta, Singapore, and Pakistan. These countries offer HPMC at competitive prices while ensuring high-quality standards and compliance with international regulations. In conclusion, the use of HPMC can usher in new opportunities for the Indonesian construction and pharmaceutical sectors. Buyers must remain vigilant to only source high-quality HPMC that meets global standards. Ultimately, opting for a reputable supplier can lead to better and more sustainable results.

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 is the application of HPMC in putty powder, and what causes the formation of bubbles in putty powder?

    1. Interior wall putty powder: Heavy calcium carbonate 800KG, light calcium carbonate 150KG (Starch ether, pure Qing, Peng run soil, citric acid, polyacrylamide, etc., can be added as appropriate). 2. Exterior wall putty powder: Cement 350KG, heavy calcium carbonate 500KG, quartz sand 150KG, latex powder 8-12KG, cellulose ether 3KG, starch ether 0.5KG, wood fiber 2KG.
  • Is there any relationship between powder loss in putty and HPMC?

    HPMC can be divided into two types: instant soluble and heat soluble. Instant soluble HPMC quickly disperses in cold water, disappearing in the water. At this stage, the liquid does not have viscosity because HPMC is only dispersed in the water and not completely dissolved. After about 2 minutes, the viscosity of the liquid gradually increases, forming a transparent and viscous colloidal solution. Heat soluble HPMC tends to agglomerate in cold water but can rapidly disperse in hot water, disappearing in it. As the temperature decreases to a certain point, viscosity slowly appears until a transparent and viscous colloidal solution is formed. Heat soluble HPMC can only be used in putty powder and mortar, as it tends to agglomerate in liquid adhesives and coatings and cannot be used effectively. Instant soluble HPMC has a wider range of applications and can be used in putty powder, mortar, liquid adhesives, and coatings without any restrictions.
  • How many types does 2-Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) have, and what are the differences in their applications?

    The gelation temperature of HPMC is related to its methoxy content. The lower the methoxy content, the higher the gelation temperature.
  • What is the recommended viscosity of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?

    The cold-water soluble type of HPMC is surface-treated with formaldehyde, allowing it to disperse rapidly in cold water but not truly dissolve. It only dissolves when the viscosity increases. The thermal soluble type does not undergo surface treatment with formaldehyde. A higher dosage of formaldehyde results in faster dispersion but slower viscosity increase, while a lower dosage has the opposite effect.
