1. Advantages in the Mixing and Dispersion Stage
Easy to Mix
It is easy to mix with dry powder formulas. Dry mixed formulas containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can be easily mixed with water, can quickly obtain the required consistency, and the cellulose ether dissolves faster and without lumps.
Cold water dispersion characteristics
It has the characteristics of cold water dispersion, which helps to operate more conveniently during construction, and no special temperature conditions are required to promote its dispersion3.
Effective suspension of solid particles
It can effectively suspend solid particles and make the mixture smoother and more uniform, which is very helpful for ensuring the uniformity of construction materials, thereby improving the construction effect.
2. Advantages in the construction process
Improved construction performance
Adding hydroxypropyl methylcellulose to latex paint can reduce the viscosity of the paint, making it easier to apply and apply. At the same time, it can also improve the leveling and anti-sagging properties of latex paint, making it less likely for the paint to drip and flow during construction, and improving construction efficiency and quality. In materials such as building mortar, it can also improve lubricity and plasticity to enhance processability, making product construction more convenient and quick.
Enhanced water retention properties
In building decoration materials, such as masonry mortar, plaster mortar, etc., its high water retention can fully hydrate the cement and significantly increase the bonding strength. At the same time, it can appropriately increase the tensile strength and shear strength, improve the construction effect, and increase work efficiency. In water-resistant putty, it can avoid cracks and dehydration caused by rapid water loss; in plaster series, it can retain water and increase lubrication, and at the same time has a certain slow-setting effect, which can solve the problems of cracking and insufficient initial strength during construction, and can extend the working time; in external wall insulation mortar, higher water retention can extend the working time of mortar, improve shrinkage resistance and cracking resistance; in tile adhesive, higher water retention can avoid pre-soaking or wetting tiles and bases, and significantly improve their bonding strength; in grouts and grouts, its addition can protect the base material from mechanical damage and avoid the impact of penetration on the entire building; in self-leveling materials, the water retention rate can be controlled to enable rapid solidification, reduce cracking and shrinkage; in latex paint, high water retention makes it have good brushability and leveling properties1235. Improve bonding strength
In a variety of building materials, such as masonry mortar, plastering mortar, external wall insulation mortar, tile adhesive, etc., it can significantly improve the bonding strength. For example, it can significantly improve its bonding strength in tile adhesives, and can improve tensile strength and shear strength in interface agents, and enhance adhesion and bonding strength.
Anti-sagging effect
In building materials, such as external wall insulation mortar, tile adhesive, etc., it has an anti-sagging effect, which can prevent the sagging of mortar, mortar and tiles, enhance the anti-crack shrinkage and anti-cracking strength of mortar and board caulking agents, and also has good anti-moisture in tile adhesives, which helps to improve construction quality.
Helps to improve the appearance of finished products
In the application of building materials, the air content in the mortar can be improved, greatly reducing the possibility of cracks, thereby improving the appearance of the finished product.
