Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (INN name: Hypromellose), also simplified as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), is a variety of nonionic cellulose mixed ethers. It is a semi-synthetic, inactive, viscoelastic polymer .This product is industrial grade HPMC, mainly used as the dispersing agent for PVC production and as the main assistant used in producing PVC suspension polymerization.
It is also used as thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, excipient, water retention agent, and film-forming agent etc.in producing petrochemicals, building materials, paint removers, agricultural chemicals, inks, textiles, ceramics, paper. cosmetics and other products.

Typical Applications of HPMC:
Good water retention: prolonged opening time will make tiling more efficient.
Improved adhesion and sliding resistance: especially for heavy tiles.
Better workability: lubricity and plasticity of plaster is ensured, mortar can be applied easier and quicker.
Easy dry mix formula due to cold water solubility: lump formation can be easily avoided, ideal for heavy tiles.
Good water retention: prevention of fluid loss to the substrates, the appropriate water content is kept in mixture which guarantees longer concreting time.
Increased water demand: increased open time, expanded spry area and more economical formulation.
Easier spreading and improved sagging resistance due to improved consistency.
Water retention: maximized water content in slurry.
Anti-sagging: when spreading a thicker coat corrugation can be avoided.
Increased mortar yield: depending on the weight of the dry mixture and appropriate formulation ,HPMC can increase the mortar volume.
Improved adhesion.
Good wetting ability for EPS board and substrate.
Reduced air entrancement and water uptake.
Protection from water exudation and material sedimentation.
No effect on slurry fluidity with low viscosity
HPMC, while its water retention characteristics improve the finish performance on the surface.
Better workability: proper thickness and plasticity.
Water retention ensures prolonged work time.
Sag resistance: improved mortar bonding ability.
