- Re-dispersible polymer powders are widely used in the construction industry for various applications such as mortar, tile adhesives, and grouts. These powders are made by spray-drying polymer emulsions to produce free-flowing powders that can be easily re-dispersed in water. This technology provides several advantages in construction applications, including improved workability, adhesion, and durability.
What is Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?
- In the construction industry, HPMC is used as a thickener, binder, and water retention agent in cement-based products such as mortars, plasters, and tile adhesives. Its solubility in water enables better workability and adhesion of the construction materials, leading to improved performance and durability of the final structures. HPMC can also reduce water loss during the curing process, resulting in enhanced strength and consistency of the cementitious products.
- High Viscosity grades of HPMC, typically denoted as HPMC K15M, K4M, and K100M, are commonly employed in the construction industry for their excellent water retention and thickening capabilities. They are key ingredients in dry mix mortars, plasters, and tile adhesives, providing improved workability and reduced water demand. In the pharmaceutical sector, these high viscosity grades find use as tablet binders and film coatings, ensuring tablet integrity and controlled drug release.
