If you work in drymix, coatings, or gypsum, you already know the quiet hero is the cellulose ether. To be honest, the right grade can make a hard-to-apply mortar behave like a dream. The product here—made in Hebei, China, at No.1 Shifu East Road, Gaocheng District—lands squarely in that practical sweet spot many customers ask for: consistent viscosity, clean dissolution, and reliable water retention in both cement and gypsum systems.
The line spans HPMC/MHEC-type cellulose ethers (CAS 9004-65-3, EINECS 220-971-6). The base chemistry is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, but field users often group compatible grades under one “Walocel-type” umbrella. In fact, the Hot Selling Cellulose For Cement Paint Coating Powder Gypsum Mhec MHPC/MHPC Walocel series is tuned for cement renders, tile adhesives, polymer-modified putties, and gypsum-based joint compounds.

Grades can be tuned for viscosity, substitution level, and surface treatment (fast-dissolving vs. delayed). Many customers say the delayed-hydration version cuts fish-eyes in high-speed batching. Internal lab data on YFM-200 showed open time gain of ≈8–14 minutes in C1 tile adhesive (EN 12004) versus control; gypsum joint compound saw 12–18% less edge cracking in accelerated dry boxes. Actually, the smoother trowel feel is what applicators notice first.
A coastal contractor swapped in Hot Selling Cellulose For Cement Paint Coating Powder Gypsum Mhec MHPC/MHPC Walocel for an exterior skim coat. Same sand/cement ratio, 0.35% dosage. Workability window stretched by around 12 minutes at 28°C, and the crew reported less edge tearing. Not epic, but on large facades, that time cushion pays for itself.
Manufactured under ISO 9001 with traceable lots; conforms to typical drymix benchmarks used in EN 12004, EN 998-1, ASTM C472, and ASTM C1437 test schemes. Always validate in your own formulation—fillers, cement chemistry, and temperature shift results a bit.
