Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is added to wall putty for several key reasons: Improved Workability: HPMC enhances the consistency and smoothness of the wall putty, making it easier to apply and spread on surfaces. Water Retention: It helps retain moisture in the putty mix, preventing it from drying out too quickly. This ensures proper adhesion and […]

Cellulose Ether as a Water Retention Agent and Thickener in Cement-Based Materials Due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl and ether oxygen atoms with water molecules, free water is converted into bound water. This enables cellulose ether to function as a water retention agent. The water-retaining effect of cellulose ether prevents excessive and […]
