Typical Applications of HPMC:
Tile Adhesive
●Good water retention: prolonged opening time will make tiling more efficient.
●Improved adhesion and sliding resistance: especially for heavy tiles.
●Better workability: lubricity and plasticity of plaster is ensured, mortar can be applied easier and quicker.
Cement Plaster / Dry mix mortar
●Easy dry mix formula due to cold water solubility: lump formation can be easily avoided, ideal for heavy tiles.
●Good water retention: prevention of fluid loss to the substrates, the appropriate water content is kept in mixture which guarantees longer concreting time.
●Increased water demand: increased open time, expanded spry area and more economical formulation.
●Easier spreading and improved sagging resistance due to improved consistency.
Wall putty
●Water retention: maximized water content in slurry.
●Anti-sagging: when spreading a thicker coat corrugation can be avoided.
●Increased mortar yield: depending on the weight of the dry mixture and appropriate formulation ,HPMC can increase the mortar volume.
Exterior Insulation and Finish System ( EIFS )
●Improved adhesion.
●Good wetting ability for EPS board and substrate.
●Reduced air entrancement and water uptake.
Self-leveling
●Protection from water exudation and material sedimentation.
●No effect on slurry fluidity with low viscosity
HPMC, while its water retention characteristics improve the finish performance on the surface.
Crack Filler
●Better workability: proper thickness and plasticity.
●Water retention ensures prolonged work time.
●Sag resistance: improved mortar bonding ability.
