HPMC Grades and Their Applications


2. Pre-wet the HEC - Before adding HEC to water, it is recommended to pre-wet the polymer with a small amount of water. This will help to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth dispersion.

What is HPMC Made From?


1. Water Retention One of the primary functions of HPMC in tile adhesives is its water retention capability. By retaining moisture in the adhesive layer, HPMC allows for better bonding between the tile and the substrate. This quality is especially important in environments where ambient conditions may lead to rapid drying, as it extends the open time of the adhesive and ensures that the tiles can be placed correctly without premature setting.
