HPMC MP150M is Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose ether used in premium tile adhesives. The main function of adding KimaCell® HPMC MP150M to the tile adhesive is to retain water and thicken. The function of HPMC is to improve the final setting strength of the tile adhesive, prolong the opening time and improve the workability. The source of refined cotton is modified by etherification, it comes from nature, has no harm to the human body, and is an absolute environmental protection product.
KimaCell® HPMC MP150M has high water retention, it does not need to pre-soak or wet the tiles and the base, which can significantly improve its bonding strength. HPMC MP150M can be used for a long open time, improve the tensile strength and shear strength, improve the surface coating, enhance the adhesion and bond strength.
