KimaCell® HEMC MH4M Cellulose ether is an admixture widely used in industrial drymix mortar, which has a great influence on the rheological properties of mortar. The increase of the cellulose ether content will lead to the increase of the initial torque of the mortar, but after a period of stirring, the flow resistance of the mortar will decrease instead; under the condition that the initial fluidity is basically the same, the fluidity loss of the mortar first decreases and then increases; the yield strength of the mortar Compared with starch ether and thickened powder, cellulose ether has higher viscosity and stability than starch ether and thickened powder.
