The role of cellulose ether in dry mixed mortar!

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is a synthetic polymer made from natural cellulose through chemical modification. Cellulose ether is a derivative of natural cellulose. The production of cellulose ether is different from synthetic polymers. Its most basic material is cellulose, a natural polymer compound. Due to the special structure of natural cellulose, cellulose itself has no ability to react with etherifying agents. However, after treatment with the swelling agent, the strong hydrogen bonds between and within the molecular chains are destroyed, and the active release of the hydroxyl group becomes alkali cellulose with the ability to react. After the reaction of the etherifying agent, the -OH group is converted into the -OR group. Cellulose ether is obtained.

The difference between hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC and methylcellulose MC

HPMC is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. It is a kind of non-ionic cellulose mixed ether, which is made from alkalized refined cotton, using propylene oxide and methyl chloride as etherification agents, and is obtained through a series of reactions. The degree of substitution is usually 1.2-2.0. The ratio of methoxyl content and hydroxypropyl content varies.
