With the rapid development of modern building construction, dry-mix mortar systems such as tile adhesive, wall putty, and plaster mortar require stable workability, strong adhesion, and reliable water retention. Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose HPMC has become a key functional additive to meet these performance demands.

In modern construction, tile adhesive and cement-based mortars often dry too quickly, especially in hot or dry environments. This leads to major challenges for contractors and manufacturers:

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose through chemical modification. It is a non-toxic, odorless, white to off-white powder that dissolves in cold water to form a transparent, viscous solution. Due to its unique chemical structure, HPMC imparts several key properties to dry-mix mortars: thickening, water retention, dispersion, and film-forming. These characteristics make it an indispensable additive in mortars based on cement, gypsum, and other materials.

With the increasing global focus on environmental protection, water-based coatings have become a market mainstream. However, enhancing the application performance, stability, and final finish of these coatings remains a key challenge for manufacturers. Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), a highly effective multifunctional additive, offers a core solution to these challenges.

Cement and mortar are vital for durable construction, and additives like Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), a water-soluble cellulose ether, significantly improve their performance. As a specialized chemical materials provider, we deliver high-quality HEC and support for various construction needs.
