HPMC is used in a variety of construction materials to improve their performance. The following are some of the applications of HPMC in construction:
Mortar and Concrete
HPMC is used as a water retention agent in mortar and concrete. It reduces the loss of water from these materials during mixing and curing, which improves their workability and strength. HPMC also enhances the adhesion of mortar and concrete to various substrates, such as brick, stone, and metal. It forms a film on the surface of these substrates, which improves the bond strength.
Tile Adhesives
HPMC is used as a thickener and binder in tile adhesives. It improves the workability and open time of tile adhesives, allowing them to be easily applied and adjusted. HPMC also enhances the adhesion of tile adhesives to various substrates, such as ceramic, porcelain, and stone. It forms a film on the surface of these substrates, which improves the bond strength.
Gypsum Products
HPMC is used as a thickener and binder in gypsum products, such as plasterboard and joint compounds. It improves the workability and adhesion of these products, allowing them to be easily applied and smoothed. HPMC also enhances the strength and durability of gypsum products, making them more resistant to cracking and sagging.
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)
HPMC is used as a thickener and binder in EIFS. It improves the workability and adhesion of EIFS, allowing them to be easily applied and shaped. HPMC also enhances the water resistance and durability of EIFS, making them more resistant to weathering and cracking.
