HPMC Cellulose for Pakistan

In Pakistan, the construction industry is rapidly growing, and the demand for high-quality building materials is increasing day by day. The use of HPMC Cellulose has become prominent in the construction industry as it is one of the most versatile materials used for various purposes. HPMC cellulose is a cellulose ether made from natural wood pulp. It is widely used in the manufacturing of building materials, such as cement-based products, plaster, and putty. It is also preferred in the food and pharmaceutical industry as it is non-toxic, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic. One of the major advantages of HPMC cellulose is its ability to improve the properties of construction materials. It enhances the water retention capacity and workability of cement-based products, leading to a superior quality finish. It also improves the bonding strength and reduces the cracking of plaster and putty, providing a durable and long-lasting solution. In Pakistan, the use of HPMC cellulose has gained immense popularity among the construction industry. Due to its versatility and superior quality, it has become a preferred choice for builders, contractors, and engineers. With its growing demand, the availability of HPMC cellulose has become easier, providing a win-win situation for both the suppliers and the customers. Apart from Pakistan, HPMC cellulose has become a sought-after material in other countries, including Malta, Russia, United States, and Peru. With its increasing popularity and demand, suppliers have started to focus on providing high-quality HPMC cellulose to meet the market requirements. In conclusion, the use of HPMC cellulose has revolutionized the construction industry in Pakistan. Its versatility, quality, and ease of use have made it a preferred choice among builders and contractors. The growing demand in Pakistan and other countries, including Malta, Russia, United States, and Peru, has paved the way for suppliers to provide high-quality HPMC cellulose and meet the market requirements.

Application

Hydroxyethyl cellulose（HEC）

The most important property of hydroxyethyl cellulose powder is that it acts as a thickener, in creasing the viscosity of the liquid,and its thickening depends on its concentration. If you're searching for a versatile solution that enhances the performance of your products, look no further than Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) powder.

Gypsum Special Grade HPMC

The gypsum special grade hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC has the characteristics of high water retention, dispersibility, good fineness, good workability and easy dissolution. widely used in gypsum products like gypsum plaster, adhesive plaster, embedded gypsum, tile adhesives etc.

Daily Chemical Products Additive

Daily Chemical HPMC has a variety of properties such as thickening, foam stabllization,emulifiation, and easy dispersion. Shampoo Additive HPMC has good compatibility with various additives of other daily chemical products. It is widely used in detergents, shower gels, shampoos, hand sanitizers, and laundry liquid and other products.

Tile Adhesive Additive

Tile Adhesive Additive HPMC can ensure the smooth construction on difterent base surtaces, even when the ambient temperalure is relalively harsh, the tile adhesive can be given a long enough open time and adjustable time.

Gypsum Additive

In gypsum products, the focus is on water retention, retardation and lubrication. Different gypsum has different effects on product performance, so thickening, water retention, and retardation determine the quality of gypsum building materials.

Mortar Additive

Adding hydroxypropyl metylellulose can improve anti-sip performance, improve wetting performance, thicken, improve batch scraping and slipping, easy to level, improve surface performance and strength, and have very good compatibility with other additives.

Putty Powder Additive

Hydroxypropyl metylcellulose is a commonly used raw material in powdered building materials, which greatly improves the slip performance and anti-sag performance of the construction, improves the wettability, improves the anti-slip performance of the putty, improves the leveling effect of the putty, and improves the construction eficlency.

How much do you know about Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC)?

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether obtained by cellulose alkalization, etherification, neutralization and washing. HPMC has good thickening, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming properties, etc.It is the first choice for production of high quality building materials additives.

How to improve the adhesion of putty

When encountering the projects that have been constructed, it is found that the adhesion of putty on the exterior wall is poor, the following methods can be adopted to improve the adhesion of putty:

Dissolution Method

Take the required amount of hot water into the container and heat to above 85., stir slowly and add the product gradually The cellulose initially floats on the water, but gradually disperses in water and forms homogeneous slurry. Goon stirring until it cools down and becomes clear

Faq

Why does hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) have an odor?

1. Hot water dissolution method: HPMC does not dissolve in hot water, but it can disperse evenly in hot water initially and then rapidly dissolve upon cooling. There are two typical methods described as follows: (1) Place the required amount of hot water in a container and heat it to approximately 70°C. Gradually add HPMC while stirring slowly. Initially, HPMC will float on the water's surface and gradually form a slurry, which cools down under stirring. (2) Add 1/3 or 2/3 of the required amount of water to a container and heat it to 70°C. Disperse HPMC according to method (1) to prepare a hot water slurry. Then, add the remaining cold water to the hot water slurry and cool the mixture after stirring. 2. Powder mixing method: Mix HPMC powder with a large amount of other powdered substances using a blender. Afterward, add water for dissolution. In this case, HPMC can dissolve without clumping because each tiny corner of the powder contains only a small amount of HPMC, which dissolves immediately upon contact with water. This method is commonly used in putty powder and mortar production.

What is the relationship between the gelation temperature of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and something else?

In simple terms, "non-ionic" refers to a substance that does not ionize in water. Ionization refers to the process in which electrolytes dissolve in specific solvents (such as water or alcohol) and dissociate into freely moving charged ions. For example, table salt we consume daily—sodium chloride (NaCl)—when dissolved in water, ionizes and produces freely moving sodium ions with a positive charge and chloride ions with a negative charge. In other words, when HPMC is placed in water, it does not dissociate into charged ions but exists in molecular form.

What are the main raw materials of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?

The cold-water soluble type of HPMC is surface-treated with formaldehyde, allowing it to disperse rapidly in cold water but not truly dissolve. It only dissolves when the viscosity increases. The thermal soluble type does not undergo surface treatment with formaldehyde. A higher dosage of formaldehyde results in faster dispersion but slower viscosity increase, while a lower dosage has the opposite effect.

What is the main use of 1-Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)?

The dosage of HPMC in actual application varies depending on factors such as climate, temperature, local lime and calcium quality, putty powder formulation, and the desired quality specified by the customer. Generally, it ranges between 4 kg to 5 kg. For example, in Beijing, most putty powders use around 5 kg; in Guizhou, it is mostly 5 kg in summer and 4.5 kg in winter; in Yunnan, the dosage is smaller, usually around 3 kg to 4 kg, and so on.
