The role of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in the construction industry

As a common building material, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is more important in the construction industry. What is the main role of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose?

1. Masonry mortar

It enhances the adhesion to the masonry surface and enhances water retention, thereby improving the strength of the mortar, improving lubricity and plasticity, which is beneficial to construction performance. It not only facilitates construction, but also saves time and improves cost-effectiveness.

2. Sheet sealant

Because hydroxypropyl methylcellulose has excellent water retention, it can extend the cooling time and has high lubricity to make application smoother. Effectively improves surface quality, provides smooth and uniform texture, and makes the bonding surface stronger.

3. Cement-based gypsum

Improves uniformity, makes plastering easier to apply, and enhances flow and pumpability for more efficient work. It has high water retention, extending the working time of the mortar. In addition, it can control the penetration of air, thereby eliminating micro-cracks in the coating and forming a smooth surface.

4. Gypsum products

It prolongs the working time of the mortar and produces higher mechanical strength during the setting process. By controlling the uniformity of the mortar, the quality of the surface coating is better.

5. Water-based paint and paint stripper

It can extend shelf life by preventing solids from settling and has excellent compatibility and high biological stability. It dissolves quickly and resists clumping, helping to simplify the mixing process. Produces good flow characteristics including low spatter and good leveling, ensuring an excellent surface finish and preventing paint sag. Enhance the viscosity of water-based paint strippers and organic solvent paint strippers so that the paint strippers will not flow out from the surface of the workpiece.

6. Tile glue

Dry blend ingredients are easy to mix and do not clump, saving work time due to faster and more efficient application, improving processing performance and reducing costs. By extending the cooling time, the laying efficiency is improved and excellent adhesion is provided.

7. Self-leveling floor materials

Provides viscosity and can be used as an anti-settling additive to help improve the efficiency of flooring installations. By controlling water retention, cracks and shrinkage can be greatly reduced.

8. Production of Stamped Concrete Slabs

Enhance the processing performance of extruded products, have higher bonding strength and lubricity, and improve the wet strength and adhesion of extruded sheets.
