HPMC Tile Adhesive Additive-Youngcel|Water Retention,Adhesion Enhancement

Product Overview

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a modified cellulose ether derived from high-purity cotton fiber. It is synthesized through etherification under alkaline conditions, resulting in a white or milky white powder with exceptional properties such as thickening ability, salt resistance, water retention, and dimensional stability. HPMC is a critical component in construction materials, enhancing the performance of cement mortars, ceramic tile adhesives, and refractory coatings.

HPMC's solubility in water and selective organic solvents allows it to form clear, stable aqueous solutions with surface activity, making it ideal for applications requiring high transparency and film-forming properties.

Key Advantages

  • Enhanced Water Retention: HPMC improves the workability of cementitious mixtures by retaining moisture, preventing premature drying and ensuring proper hydration.
  • Improved Adhesion: It enhances the bonding strength between substrates and construction materials, reducing the risk of cracking or delamination.
  • Dimensional Stability: The polymer's structure minimizes shrinkage during drying, maintaining the integrity of coatings and mortars.
  • Resistance to Mildew and Dispersibility: HPMC's chemical stability prevents microbial growth and ensures uniform dispersion in formulations.
