HPMC can improve product functionality very well, and is now widely used in the construction industry, especially in tile adhesives.
Tile adhesive is a new modern decoration material used for pasting decorative materials such as ceramic tiles, surface tiles, and floor tiles. Is made up of cement, sand, calcium formate, and additives in a particular proportion. It has the advantages of high adhesion, good flexibility, and so on.
There are many kinds of additives in tile adhesive, but cellulose ether additives (especially hpmc and hemc) that can improve water retention, thickening effect and open time are usually added to tile adhesive.
So choosing a good tile adhesive can significantly improve your work efficiency and the aesthetics of the final result. We've put together this handy guide to help you.
What types of tile adhesive are there?
There's two different types of tile adhesive, ready mixed pastes and powdered adhesives. As the name suggests, ready mixed pastes can be used straight so they're pretty easy to use. But with ease comes limitations.
In general, pastes can only be used to fix smaller ceramic tiles to walls. On the other hand, powdered adhesives need to be mixed with water into a slurry which takes a little more time and effort. However, they offer a far stronger bond and in general, can be used to fit ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles to almost any substrate.
It is worth mentioning that, hpmc is an important additive to enhance the viscosity of tile adhesive. Generally, the higher the viscosity of the HPMC solution, the better the viscosity of the tile adhesive and the better the adhesion to the substrate.
The viscosity of HPMC generally refers to a particular concentration (2%) of HPMC solution, at a specified temperature (20�°C) and shear rate (or rotation rate, such as 20rpm), the viscosity value measured with a specified measuring instrument.
