9. Professional FAQ: Key Technical Terms Explained

Q1: What is the base material of High viscosity 200000 HPMC powder industrial grade hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ether?

A1: The main source is refined cotton cellulose, alkali-treated to ensure long molecular chains and uniformity. This provides superior hydrophilic character and enables the ultra-high viscosity profile.

Q2: What does the “200,000 mPa·s” viscosity mean technically?

A2: It represents the dynamic viscosity measured for a 2% solution at 20ºC using a Brookfield viscometer. Higher mPa·s indicates better water retention and improved rheology, critical for industrial grouts and mortars (ASTM C91 method).

Q3: How does hydroxypropyl and methyl content affect product performance?

A3: The hydroxypropyl/methyl ratio determines solubility, gelation point, and film strength. Typical ranges: 19–24% methyl, 4–12% hydroxypropyl, optimized during etherification for targeted end-use.

Q4: What are the main application standards for quality assurance?

A4: ISO 9001 (Quality Management), EN 998-1 (Rendering mortars), ASTM C91 (Masonry cements), and REACH (chemical safety) are core certifications. YOUNGCEL’s labs routinely test to these benchmarks.
