Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, also known as hypromellose and cellulose hydroxypropyl methyl ether, is obtained by using high-purity cotton fiber as raw material and through special etherification under alkaline conditions.
1. Construction: used as a water-retaining agent for cement mortar, and a retarder to make it pumpable. Use slurry, gypsum, putty powder or other building materials as adhesives to increase brushability and prolong working time. Suitable for tiles, marbles, plastic finishes, adhesives, etc., which can reduce the amount of cement. The water retention of HPMC prevents rapid cracking of the slurry after coating and strengthens the strength of the slurry after hardening.
2. Ceramic manufacturing: widely used as a binder for ceramic products.
3. Paint industry: as a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer, it has excellent water-soluble and organic solvents in the paint industry. As a paint remover.
4. Ink printing: As a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer, the ink has good compatibility in the ink industry.
5. Plastics: manufacturing mold release agents, softeners, lubricants, etc.
6. PVC: used as a dispersant for PVC and the main auxiliary for preparing PVC.
7. Pharmaceutical industry: coating materials; film materials; slow-release agents and rate-controlling polymer materials; stabilizers; suspending agents; tablet adhesives; tackifiers.
