Dry Mix Mortars
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) HPMC is one of the most important raw materials in dry mortar.
HPMC can improve the water retention property, viscosity and excellent adhesion of dry-mixed cement, making it an indispensable raw material in mortar.At WHHPMC, we specialize in providing top-quality hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) for various applications, including dry mix mortars.
Advantages of incorporating cellulose into Dry Mix Mortar
Extended Open Time:
By incorporating HPMC, the open time of the mortar is extended. This means that users have more time to adjust and align tiles or other materials, reducing the risk of errors and enhancing the overall quality of the installation.
Improved workability:
HPMC significantly improves the workability of dry mix mortars. It provides a smooth and creamy consistency, making the application process easier and more efficient. This results in a more uniform application and reduces the time and effort required for mixing and applying the mortar.
Enhanced Bonding:
HPMC enhances the adhesive properties of dry mix mortars, ensuring better bonding with various substrates. This is particularly important in applications such as tile adhesives and wall plasters, where strong adhesion is crucial for long-lasting results.
Better Durability:
Better Durability: Enhances the mechanical properties of the dry mix mortar, providing better resistance to water, temperature changes and external impacts. Performs in extreme temperatures.
Sag Resistance
HPMC improves the sag resistance of dry mix mortars, ensuring that the mortar stays in place and does not slide or slump during application. This is especially beneficial for vertical applications, such as wall plasters and renders.
Enhanced Flexibility
The addition of HPMC increases the flexibility of the mortar, allowing it to withstand various stresses and movements without cracking or breaking. This is essential for applications in areas subject to temperature changes and structural movements.
Easy to mix:
Easily dispersed in water to help mix faster and more efficiently with other components of the dry mix mortar. Prevents layering of raw materials.
Eco-friendly materials
Environmentally friendly production: It is produced with environmentally friendly raw materials and processes, and does not contain harmful substances, which is safe for both users and the environment.
Detection of HPMC-added dry mix moater
Dry mortar with added HPMC has an exceptionally smooth looking surface, which extends the open time while improving workability making the worker’s work efficiency greatly improved.

Frequently Asked Questions by Customers
Adding HPMC to mixed mortar improves its workability, water retention, and sag resistance. It enhances the mortar's adhesion and strength, ensures even hydration of cement, and prevents cracking and shrinkage during the drying process.
HPMC significantly improves the workability of tile adhesives by providing a smooth and consistent texture, making the adhesive easier to mix, apply, and spread. This leads to a more efficient installation process, allowing for precise tile placement and reducing the effort required by installers. Additionally, HPMC extends the open time, offering more flexibility for adjustments and corrections during the installation.
The recommended dosage of HPMC in mortar typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.5% of the total dry mix weight. The exact amount depends on the specific application and desired properties.
HPMC should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be kept in its original packaging or a sealed container to prevent contamination and degradation.
HPMC is versatile and can be used in various types of mortar, including cement-based, lime-based, and gypsum-based mortars. However, the specific formulation and dosage may vary depending on the type of mortar and its intended application.
HPMC is a non-toxic, biodegradable material, and its use in mortar does not pose significant environmental hazards. It is safe for use in construction applications.
Yes, HPMC can slightly delay the setting time of mortar. This delay allows for more extended working periods, making it easier to apply and finish the mortar, especially in hot or dry conditions.
