Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) For Tile Adhesive

Water retention: HPMC can absorb and hold onto water, which is essential for proper curing of tile adhesive. This helps prevent premature drying, cracking, and shrinkage of the adhesive.

Workability: HPMC improves the workability of tile adhesive by reducing viscosity and increasing open time. This allows for easier application and adjustment of tiles before the adhesive sets.

Adhesion: HPMC enhances the adhesive strength of tile adhesive, providing a strong bond between the tile and the substrate. This is particularly important for large or heavy tiles, which require a strong and durable bond.

Sag resistance: HPMC improves the sag resistance of tile adhesive, preventing the tiles from slipping or sliding down the wall during installation.Open time: HPMC can extend the open time of tile adhesive, giving installers more time to work with the adhesive and position the tiles. This can be especially important when working with large or complex tile layouts.
