LEARN ABOUT HPMC WATER RETENTION ADDITIVES

1. What is HPMC?

HPMC is the most prevalent chemical compound in the field of natural organic chemicals. For cellulose when at room temperature, it will have high purity. HPMC polymer admixture is well dispersed in water, increasing adhesion for cement mortars, lime mortars, and gypsum mortars for indoor and outdoor use.

It has some of the following properties:

- Non-ionic type.
- pH stabilization
- Good surface activity
- Is a thickener, or binder, capable of forming a film, lubricating, anti-moss, etc.
 With the above characteristics, HPMC is widely used in industries such as building materials, paints, synthetic resins, ceramics, drugs, food, textiles, paper, agriculture, cosmetics, and tobacco, as a thickener, gelling, emulsifying, dispersing, stabilizing, water-holding and improving miscibility. In addition, it can also be applied in many other fields. 

2. Outstanding advantages

• Good water retention capacity.
• Performance – The ductility is improved and the application efficiency will be improved.
• Bondability – better bonding of the parent material is possible with higher mortar ductility.
• Anti-slip – due to the thickness of the plaster, can help the grout to avoid separating from the material.

3. Applications of HPMC in the construction industry:

HPMC is a powder polymer additive, especially applied in the production of building materials such as

• Construction industry: lime mortar, gypsum, putty, or building materials as a link. powder or building material as a binder, increases bondability and stability, HPMC retains water thus increasing bonding and does not fall apart after drying, enhancing hardening strength.
• Cement mortar: improve the dispersion of cement-sand, greatly improve the plasticity of the mortar and water, prevent cracks, and the retarder makes the mortar pumpable.
• Cement mortar tiles; increase flexibility, water retention, increase the cohesion of bricks.
• Replace natural materials such as lakes: lakes can be improved by retaining water and increasing bonding
• Other: it can be used to dilute slurry sand and operate slurry hydraulics.
