HPMC is a non-ionic ,water soluble cellulose ether that form films, water-retentions, stability, adhesiveness, especially widely used for construction materials because it is chosen to enhance adhesion, water retention, and lubricity, shrink and crack resistance. Modified cellulose ethers improve on the slippage, brittle resistance to pressure and tensile sex. Therefore, for cement and plaster based motors, will be your best choice. It’s white or off-white powder ,non-toxic tasteless, and readily soluble in hot or cold water.
HPMC also used for ceramics, tobaccos and detergents, etc.
For different methods of binder, Youngcel can provide various cellulose ether products to easily meet different requirements.
- Advanced workability
- High water demand and high output
- Excellent sag resistance
- Prolonged open time
- Easy to spread out and not sticking to knife
