hpmc for tile adhesive

we specialize in manfacture cellulose ethers for more than 10 years ,We have the five full set of advanced equipment , our annual production capacity is 20000 tons of hpmc cellulose and 15000 tons of redispersible polymer powder per year , today our products cover 30% of the domestic market , and we have established long term business relationship with many countries .

The viscosity of HPMC generally refers to a particular concentration (2%) of HPMC solution, at a specified temperature (20°C) and shear rate (or rotation rate, such as 20rpm), the viscosity value measured with a specified measuring instrument.

How to choose tile adhesive?

Flexibility

Even in your home, floor tiles experience a lot of stress from foot traffic, underfloor heating and movement in the subfloor. The adhesive bed can absorb this stress to reduce the chances of your new floor cracking; the more deformable (or flexible) the adhesive, the more peace of mind you'll have.

Open Time/Setting Time

Powdered adhesives are often classified as either 'standard' or 'rapid' setting – this refers to the working time you have to use the product. The faster the adhesive sets, the sooner you can get onto grouting and finishing your room. However, there's plenty of times when you'll prefer to use an adhesive with a longer opening time – when laying large format tiles to a wall and you want to ensure a flawless finish.

Underfloor Heating

If you're looking to install either wet or electric underfloor heating, it's vital that you use a flexible tile adhesive. The heating and cooling processes generate considerable stresses and a flexible adhesive will absorb these, reducing the chances of your tiles cracking over time. However, we'd really recommend using a self-levelling compound to cover the cables and provide a perfectly flat surface to tile onto.

Primer

Absorbent surfaces such as plaster can suck the water out of the tile adhesive, reducing the bond strength and working time. It is very necessary to choose tile adhesive with good water retention.

Of course, the performance I mentioned here can be improved by adding hpmc to achieve the final effect you want. HPMC is playing an essential role in tile adhesives to improve the key properties like water retention, slip resistance, and workability, etc.
