Product characteristics
Characteristic of HPMC
Water Retention:
HPMC significantly improves water retention in cement-based products. This ensures proper hydration of cement, leading to better strength development and reduced risk of cracks due to premature drying.
Workability:
It enhances the workability of mortars, plasters, and other construction mixtures. This makes them easier to spread, reducing labor effort and improving application efficiency.
Consistency and Sag Resistance:
HPMC helps maintain the consistency of construction mixtures, preventing sagging and improving the stability of applied layers on vertical surfaces.
Improved Adhesion:
It enhances the adhesive properties of mortars and tile adhesives, ensuring better bonding between tiles, bricks, or other construction materials and the substrate.
Open Time:
HPMC extends the open time of mortars and adhesives, allowing for longer working periods and adjustments after application without compromising performance.
Rheology Modification:
It modifies the rheological properties of construction mixtures, providing the right balance between viscosity and flow. This ensures smooth application and finish.
Crack Resistance:
By improving water retention and workability, HPMC helps in reducing the formation of cracks in plaster and mortar due to shrinkage during drying.
Temperature Stability:
HPMC retains its performance characteristics over a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent results in different climatic conditions.
Compatibility:
It is compatible with a wide range of other construction additives and ingredients, allowing for versatile formulation options.
