D&J Chemicals was founded in 2013, the enterprise is located in Jinzhou Economic Development Zone, Hebei Province. It covers an area of more than 27,000 square meters and has an annual yield of 10,000 tons of methyl cellulose.
Function and application of cellulose ether in ready mixed mortar
Cellulose ether mainly has the following three functions:
1) It can thicken the fresh mortar to prevent segregation and obtain a uniform plastic body;
2) It has the function of air entrainment and can also stabilize the uniform small bubbles introduced into the mortar;
3) As a water retaining agent, it helps to keep the water (free water) in the thin layer of mortar, so that the cement can have more time for hydration after mortar construction.
In dry mixed mortar, methyl cellulose ether plays a role in water retention, thickening and improving construction performance. Good water retention performance ensures that the mortar will not cause sand, powder and strength reduction due to water shortage and incomplete cement hydration; The thickening effect greatly enhances the structural strength of wet mortar, such as the good anti sagging ability of tile adhesive; The addition of methyl cellulose ether can obviously improve the wet viscosity of wet mortar, which has good viscosity to various substrates, thus improving the wall performance of wet mortar and reducing waste.
