5 Ways HPMC Enhances Tile Adhesive Quality & Durability

When tile adhesive encounters construction difficulties? HPMC gives you scientific solutions


In tile laying projects, problems such as hollowing, falling off, insufficient open time, and fluctuations in adhesion have long troubled construction parties. As a professional supplier of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), we are well aware of the technical causes behind these pain points - the selection and ratio of cellulose ether directly affects the water retention, wettability and anti-sagging properties of tile adhesives.


The problem of hollowing and falling off


The core reason: insufficient water retention of HPMC leads to insufficient cement hydration

Our solution: Provide high viscosity (100,000-150,000 cps) HPMC products to extend the operability time of mortar and ensure that cement is fully hydrated to form a solid crystalline network


Open time is too short


The core reason: ordinary cellulose evaporates too quickly under high temperature environment

Our solution: HPMC with customized hydroxypropoxy content (7%-12%) can still maintain an effective open time of 90 minutes at 35℃


Poor anti-sagging performance


The core reason: cellulose ether thixotropy does not match

Our solution: Provide surface-treated instant HPMC, which can reach 90% of the final viscosity within 20 minutes to meet the requirements of facade construction
