HPMC Thickening Agent Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether made from cellulose, a natural polymer material, through a series of chemical processes. Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic white powder that can be dissolved under cold conditions. It forms a transparent viscous solution with water. They have the properties of thickening, adhesion, dispersion, emulsification, film formation, suspension, adsorption, gelling, surface activity, water retention and colloid protection. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a commonly used raw material in powdered construction materials, greatly improving the slippery and anti-sagging properties of the construction, improving wettability, improving the non-slip properties of the putty, improving the leveling effect of the putty, and improving the efficiency of the construction. Characteristics of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose HPMC 1 Thickening and viscosity increase: The remarkable feature of HPMC is that it can increase the viscosity and make the product more viscous, anti-sagging and anti-slip, thus easier to construct. 2 High water retention: HPMC effectively retains product moisture, preventing loss and ensuring slow drying and delayed solidification, providing better process performance for building materials and other applications. 3. Dust and crack prevention: When HPMC is used in cement, gypsum and other materials, it can effectively prevent dusting, reduce cracking after drying and enhance the durability of the material. 4 Lubricating construction performance: The lubricating properties of HPMC help the construction process by increasing product lubrication to improve pumping and ensure smoother construction. 5. Transparency: By dissolving cellulose in water, HPMC forms a transparent colloid that improves product transparency and clarity, indicating fewer impurities and better results.
