The Key Role of HPMC in Tile Adhesives - LinkedIn

Tile adhesives are compounds used to stick tiles to walls or floors firmly. Fortunately, the application of our MaiSi® HPMC in tile adhesive can improve all the features of tile adhesive to satisfy all demands in construction. Therefore, tile adhesive is expected to fix the tiles not just for several years but for decades without failure. It must be easy to use and should not have any gaps between the tile and the substrate.

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC) is a water-soluble non-ionic cellulose ether polymer. The chemical properties can vary according to the degree of substitution and modification.With good performance of thickening, dispersion, emulsification, suspension, adsorption, surface activity, and water retention, MaiSi® HPMC products are widely used in tile adhesives.


So, Why use HPMC in tile adhesives?

The primary function of HPMC in tile adhesives is water-retaining and thickening. The purpose is to increase the final solidification strength of the tile adhesive, extend the open time, and improve its workability. Usually, when we evaluate the performance of tile adhesive, in addition to its workability and anti-sliding ability, we also pay attention to its open time. For example, in a wet mortar, the water in the mortar will evaporate, and then cellulose ether will be gathered on the surface. A film will form on the mortar surface within 5 minutes, which will reduce the subsequent evaporation rate. Therefore, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) can extend the opening hours.

HPMC for Tile Adhesive

Product Description

HPMC for Tile Adhesive

HPMC for tile adhesive contains other additives such as cement, sand and limestone, which can increase the adhesion of tile ceramics. Tile adhesive is a new modern decorative material used to paste tiles, face tiles, floor tiles and other decorative materials. There are many kinds of additives in tile adhesive, but usually cellulose ether additives are added to tile adhesive to improve water retention, thickening effect and open time.

Before using HPMC tile adhesive with adhesive will be powder and water 1 : 0.25-0.3 ratio. Stir it to be ready for construction after the adhesive is completely dry, you can adjust the tile position within the allowed operation time (about 24 hours to fill, 24 hours should prevent heavy objects from pressing on the tile surface).

Construction grade hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is widely used in building grade. For example, tile bonding, tile mortar. 

 

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose for Tile Adhesive Advantages

HPMC cellulose has many characteristics, such as thickening, water retention, dispersion, emulsification, film formation, adhesion, gelation and adsorption. The HPMC has good effect in tile adhesive, It can be improved the Anti-Slip, water retention, opening time, viscosity and strength of tile adhesion. Due to its high water performance, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose does not need to be pre-soaked or wetted with tiles and substrates, which can significantly improve the bonding strength. The slurry can be constructed in a longer period, and the construction is convenient and uniform. It is delicate and has good anti-slip performance. HPMC with a thickening, binding, dispersing, emulsifying, PH value of stability, film, suspension, adsorption, gel, surface activity, maintain a features such as water and protective colloid.

1. Enhance water retention characteristics and extend working time.

2. Improve the bonding strength of tile adhesives.

3. Improves flexibility and deformability of the caulk.

4. It can enhance the sag resistance of tile adhesives.

5. Good bond strength, both thick and thin, with reduced shrinkage and tiles that do not crack or fall under stress.

6. Mortar has better malleability and flexibility, which makes construction easier and work more efficient.
