Application of HPMC in construction industry:
As a water-retaining agent and retarder for cement mortar, it makes the mortar pumpable.
In plastering slurry, gypsum, putty powder or other building materials, it is used as a binder to improve spreadability and prolong operation time.
It is used as a paste for ceramic tile, marble, plastic decoration, as a paste enhancer, and it can also reduce the amount of cement.
The water retention of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC can prevent the slurry from cracking due to drying too fast after application, and enhance the strength after hardening.
