Versatile Redispersible Polymer Powders for Enhanced Construction and Coating Applications
Methylcellulose helps increase the efficiency of cement by prolonging water retention and hydration reactions. This helps reduce the amount of glue required during construction projects, ultimately lowering costs. The chemical compound can also be added to concrete mixes to improve their structural properties, such as flexural strength, compressive strength, and tensile strength.
MHEC also finds use in cement-based mortars and renders. When added to these mixtures, it improves the adhesion properties, allowing for better bonding to various substrates. This is particularly important in applications such as plastering and rendering, where a strong bond between the substrate and the cement is essential for long-term durability.
