Industrial HPMC Powder

Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) is a cellulose ether in which the hydroxyl group on the cellulose chain has been replaced by either methoxy or hydroxypropyl groups.HPMC is used as a thickener, binder, and film-former in agrochemicals, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, inks, and a wide variety of other applications.The aqueous solution of HPMC undergoes a reversible gelation when heated, thus controllably increasing the raw strength of the raw ceramic body.

Product Characteristics

1、Water retention: water retention is enhanced, which helps to solve the problems of cement or gypsum building materials drying too fast, poor hardening or cracking due to insufficient hydration.

2、Operation: It can enhance the plasticity of mortar in construction projects and improve the painting efficiency.

3、Adhesion: due to the enhanced plasticity of the mortar, it can make the mortar better attached to the substrate.

4、Anti-slip: due to its thickening effect, it can prevent the slipping problem between mortar and substrate in construction project.

Applications

Construction

- Used as a water retainer and retarder in mortars to give good pumpability.

- Used as binder in mortar, gypsum material, putty powder or other building materials to improve its ease of use and prolong operation time.

- Used as a paste enhancer for tile, marble, and plastic decorations to reduce the amount of cement used.

- The water retention of HPMC prevents the paste from drying and cracking too quickly after spraying and enhances the strength after hardening.

Ceramic Industry

- Widely used as adhesive in ceramic production industry.

Coating Industry

- Used as thickener, dispersant and stabilizer in coating industry.

- Good compatibility in water or organic solvents.

- Used as paint stripper/paint remover.

Ink printing

- Used as a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer in the printing ink industry.

- Good compatibility in water or organic solvents.

Plastics

- Used as molding release agent, softener, lubricant.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

- Used as a dispersant in the production of polyvinyl chloride, PVC suspension polymerization of the main additives

 Others:

- Widely used in leather, paper products, textile, fruit and vegetable preservation and other industries.
