Uses and Benefits of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose in Various Industries
Excellent water retention for longer cooling times and improved efficiency. High lubricity for easier and smoother application.
Improves shrinkage and crack resistance and surface quality.
Provides a smooth, even texture for a more cohesive joint surface.
In addition to its applications in cement-based products, MHEC is also used in the production of gypsum-based materials. It acts as a thickener and water retention agent in gypsum plasters, improving their workability and reducing the risk of cracking. Furthermore, MHEC enhances the adhesion properties of gypsum-based materials, allowing for better bonding to various substrates.
