Roles of HPMC for EIFS in Construction

HPMC-hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is one of the basic chemicals in EIFS mortar formulation. HPMC plays a vital role in EIFS in construction.

● HPMC as a Binder

One of the essential roles of HPMC in EIFS construction is its function as a binder. When mixed with other components, such as cement, aggregates, and polymers, HPMC acts as an adhesive, ensuring the cohesion of the EIFS layers.

● HPMC as a Thickening Agent

HPMC is capable of increasing the viscosity of EIFS mixtures, making them easier to apply and reducing the risk of sagging during installation. Its thickening properties contribute to maintaining the desired texture and appearance of the finish coat.

● HPMC as a Water Retention Agent

In EIFS construction, it is crucial to control the water content of the mixture to ensure optimal curing and adhesion. HPMC acts as a water retention agent, preventing the rapid evaporation of water and promoting proper hydration of the materials.
