HPMC is divided into two types: instant type and hot melt type. The instant type disperses quickly in cold water and initially has no viscosity because the HPMC is only dispersed in the water without actually being dissolved. After about 2 minutes, the liquid gradually thickens and forms a transparent, viscous colloid. Hot-melt products will appear agglomerated in cold water, but will disperse quickly in hot water until the temperature drops to a certain level and the viscosity will gradually increase to form a transparent and viscous colloid. The hot-melt type is mainly used for putty powder and mortar. It may cause lumps in liquid glue and paint, so it is not suitable. The instant type is more widely used and can be used for putty powder, mortar, liquid glue and coatings without specific restrictions.

In ready-mixed mortar, the addition amount of HPMC is very low, but it can significantly improve the performance of wet mortar and is a major additive that affects the construction performance of mortar. Reasonable selection of cellulose ethers of different varieties, different viscosities, different particle sizes, different viscosity degrees and added amounts will have a positive impact on improving the performance of dry mortar.

In recent years, with the continuous development of external insulation technology, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose production technology progress, as well as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC itself has excellent characteristics, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC in the construction industry has been widely used. In order to investigate the interaction mechanism between HPMC and cement-based materials, this paper focuses on the improvement effect of HPMC on the cohesion of cement-based materials.

Cold water instant HPMC can be used for putty powder, mortar, liquid glue, liquid paint and daily chemical products. Hot melt HPMC is usually used in dry powder products and directly mixed with dry powder for uniform application, such as putty powder and mortar. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose can be widely used to improve the performance of cement, gypsum and other hydrate building materials. In cement-based mortar, it can improve water retention, extend correction time and opening time, and reduce flow suspension.
