Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is a versatile chemical additive widely used in the construction industry. Derived from highly purified cotton fiber, this polymer undergoes etherification under alkaline conditions to create a substance with exceptional thickening, water retention, and adhesion properties. Its applications span from cement mortars to ceramic tile adhesives, making it an indispensable component in modern construction materials.
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose boasts a unique combination of physical and chemical characteristics that make it ideal for construction applications. Below are its core features:
