HPMC (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose)
Product Overview
VisCelo™ Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is water-soluble, non-ionic cellulose derived from refined cotton, that when dissolved in water, offers a variety of functional properties. It is compatible with many surfactants and polymers such as starch, guar, and alginates.
VisCelo™ cellulose ether (HPMC) products are powders used as thickeners, protective colloids, stabilizers, suspending aids, and water-retention agents in many industrial applications. They are of great importance in dry-mixed mortars owing to their excellent thickening effect and water retention capacity.
Applications And Product Benefits
- Tile adhesives: MelaColl high viscosity grades are recommended for tile adhesive to effectively improve its adhesion, water retention, sag resistance and workability features.
- Wall putty/skim coat: MelaColl medium viscosity products are recommended for the skim coat. It can improve product mixing, enhance product lubricity and workability. It can also prevent cracks and improve sag resistance, water retention, and open time of the construction.
- ETICS/EIFS: Our products are widely used in EIFS adhesives and base coats to improve the adhesion and cohesion features of the products. It can enhance water retention, prolong open time, and improve construction workability and consistency.
- Cement plaster: Our medium viscosity products are used in cement renders to improve the water retention, workability, sag resistance, final consistency and production rates.
- Flooring system: Our low viscosity product is recommended for the application in self-leveling flooring compounds to improve the rheology (e.g. fluidity), leveling, and workability.
- Gypsum-based building materials: Our medium viscosity products are recommended in gypsum applications to improve the workability, water retention, sag resistance and adhesion to different substrates.
- Detergents: Our high viscosity grades are recommended for detergent application to control the thickening, rheology, emulsification, and optical clarity properties of the products.
