Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose (HPMC)

18 Feb.,2024

 

* Particle size: 98.5% passes through 100 mesh; 100% passes through 80 mesh. * Charring temperature: 280-300℃. * Bulk density: 0.25-0.70 g/cm3 (Usually around 0.5 g/cm3 ) * Real specific gravity: 1.26-1.31. * Browning temperature: 190-200℃. * Surface tension: (2% water solution) 42-56dyn.cm. * Properties: Dissolved in water and some organic solvent such as ethanol. propyl alcohol. ethylene chloride, the water solution is of surface activity. It is a nonionic surface active agent. Gelation temperature is different for different grades. For example, among 60RT Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, 60 is gelation temperature, Namely, 2% water solution will form gelation at 60%.

Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose (HPMC) Application

 

Tile Adhesive

 

A: Good water retention:  it can prolonged opening time , to make tiling more efficient

B: Improved adhesion and sliding resistance especially for heavy tiles

C: Better work-ability: lubricity and plasticity of plaster is ensured, mortar can be applied easier and quicker

 

Cement Based Plaster

 

A: Easy dry mix formulation due to cold water solubility: lump formation can be easily avoided, ideal for heavy tiles.

B: Good water retention: prevention of fluid loss to the substrates, the appropriate water content is kept in mixture which guarantees longer concreting time

C: Increased water demand: increased open time, expanded spry area and more economical formulation

D: Easier spreading and improved sagging resistance due to improved consistency

 

Exterior Heat Insulation System ( EIFS )

 

A: Improved adhesion

B: Good wetting ability for EPS board and substrate

C: Reduced air entrainment and water uptake.

 

Self-leveling

 

A: Protection from water exudation and material sedimentation

B: No effect on slurry fluidity with low viscosity HPMC, while its water retention characteristics improve the finish performance on the surface.

 

Crack Filler

 

A: Better workability: proper thickness and plasticity

B: Water retention ensures prolonged work time

C: Sag resistance: improved mortar bonding ability

 

Gypsum Based Plaster

 

A: Water retention: maximized water content in slurry ensures complete gypsum concretion.

B: Anti-sagging: when spreading a thicker coat corrugation can be avoided ( careful when air is entrained )

C: Increased mortar yield: depending on the weight of the dry mixture and appropriate formulation HPMC can increase the mortar

 

Ceramic Extrusion
 

A: Excellent workability for ceramic molding due to lubricity and plasticity

B: Compact texture and smooth surface of ceramic product due to negligible ash content
