Industrial Applications
Construction-Grade Excellence: Elevating Building Material Performance
Our industrial-grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a cornerstone ingredient in modern construction chemistry, delivering measurable improvements in cementitious and gypsum-based formulations:
-
Tile Adhesives & Mortars:
-
Acts as a rheology modifier, enhancing adhesion to substrates while preventing slippage (anti-sag properties) for vertical or overhead applications.
-
Improves water retention, ensuring proper hydration of cement particles even under high-temperature or low-humidity conditions, resulting in stronger bonds and reduced cracking.
-
-
Self-Leveling Compounds (SLC):
-
Provides pseudo-plastic flow behavior, enabling easy troweling and rapid self-smoothing without segregation of aggregates.
-
Reduces shrinkage during curing, minimizing surface defects in large-area flooring projects.
-
-
Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS):
-
Enhances crack resistance and flexibility in polymer-modified renders, extending the lifespan of façade coatings.
-
-
Gypsum Plaster & Dry Mixes:
-
Controls setting time and improves workability, allowing for smoother finishes and reduced rework.
-
Technical Edge:
-
Compatible with both Portland cement and calcium aluminate systems.
-
Operates effectively in alkaline environments (pH 10–12) without hydrolysis.
LEAD®HPMC
Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose
The HPMC produced by LEAD®Chemical has good thickening, water retention, suspension, emulsification, adsorption and stability.
Water retention
HPMC has good water retention performance, prevents moisture from penetrating into the base surface too quickly, and has stable water retention capacity in a wide temperature range.
Thickening
HPMC can make the mortar reach a suitable viscosity, improve cohesion, improve operability, resist sagging, and improve construction efficiency.
Suspension
In some scenarios, HPMC provides suspension for the mortar without changing the consistency of the mortar, so that the mortar system is evenly dispersed without sedimentation.
Adhesive
The wetting ability of HPMC can not only improve the viscosity of mortar, but also ensure the surface activity and cohesion of mortar.
