The importance of HPMC quality
Do you know what cellulose ether is?
Cellulose is a high molecular weight polysaccharide and the main component of wood and cotton. Through reactions, we obtain different types of cellulose ethers, which are widely used additives in the construction, paint, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries, among others.
Categories:
• Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC)
• Ethyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (EHEC)
• Methyl Ethyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MEHEC)
• Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)
• Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (MHEC)
• Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC)
And the favorite in the construction industry... HPMC!
There are several grades of HPMC that are low, medium, and high viscosity. The usefulness of these cellulose ethers is that they are excellent thickeners and stabilizers. In the construction industry, they are mainly used as rheology-modifying additives in mortars and pastes, with the following main benefits:
• Thickening of the mixture
• Water retention
• Dispersant and stabilizer of other additives
• Viscosity development
• Workability and consistency
• Control over open time and working time
• Resistance to slippage
• Reduces pigment migration capacity
• Use in different cement, lime, and gypsum-based materials
