HPMC
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a versatile, semi-synthetic polymer widely used as a thickener, binder, and film-former in pharmaceuticals, food, and construction materials.
CELLULOOK™ H 16-2 HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose
CELLULOOK™ H 16-2 HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose has low-viscosity (200–3000 mPa·s) is typically used in applications that require good film formation, smooth flow, or rapid dissolution rather than thickening.
Uses
- Self-Leveling Compounds
- Injection Grouts
- Gypsum-Based Products
- Surface Smoothing Compounds (Skim Coats)
- Cementitious Waterproofing Slurries
- Pumpable Mortars
Benefits
- Improved Flowability
- Moderate Water Retention
- Anti-Segregation & Anti-Bleeding
- Smooth Surface Finish
- Improved Workability
- Reduces Shrinkage & Cracking
CELLULOOK™ H 16-6 HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose
CELLULOOK™ H 16-6 HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose has medium-viscosity (40000–60000 mPa·s) This medium-viscosity range offers a balance between thickening and workability. It is widely used in dry-mix mortar systems that need good water retention, moderate thickening, and smooth application.
Uses
- Tile Adhesives (Standard Grade)
- Wall Putty / Skim Coats
- Cement and Gypsum Plasters
- EIFS Base Coats and Adhesives
- Masonry Mortars
Benefits
Moderate to strong thickening
Excellent water retention
Smooth consistency for easier application
Improved adhesion and cohesion
CELLULOOK™ H 16-10 HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose
CELLULOOK™ H 16-10 HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose has a high-viscosity (80000–100000 mPa·s) is specifically engineered for use in cementitious systems. It is well-suited for high-performance tile adhesives based on cement and plays a critical role in formulating the cement-based components of External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS).
Uses
- Tile Adhesives (Cement-Based & Ready-Mix)
- Wall Putty / Skim Coats
- Cement and Gypsum Plasters
- EIFS (External Insulation and Finishing Systems)
- Masonry Mortars and Renders
- Repair Mortars
Benefits
Strong thickening power
Excellent water retention
Improved adhesion, workability, and anti-sag performance
Ideal for vertical or overhead applications
