C 1 T:Suitable for ordinary ceramic tiles and ceramic mosaics with a water absorption rate greater than 6%; Decorative ceramic tiles with a water absorption rate of ≥ 0.2% and a size of ≤ 400 × 800mm.

C 2 T:Suitable for decorative tiles with a water absorption rate of 0.5% ＜E ＜ 3%, or 0.2% ＜ E ＜ 0.5%, and a size ≤ 600 × 1200mm.

C 2 E S 1:Suitable for ceramic slabs, rock slabs, etc. with a size not exceeding 2.4m * 1.2m for indoor wall pasting.

C 2 T S 1:Suitable for pasting ceramic slabs, rock slabs, etc. with a size not exceeding 2.4m * 1.2m on indoor walls.

Q:What are the differences in the thickness of different masonry mortars?                                                                   

A: General purpose masonry mortar:mortar layer thickness more than 5mm. Thin-layer masonry mortar:mortar layer thickness less than 5mm.

Q: What should be considered when choosing HPMC for different applications in gypsum-based mortars?            

A: 

Focus on type, performance, and viscosity:

Type Selection:

Choose HPMC designed specifically for construction. These products offer better thermal stability and longer open times.

Performance Considerations:

Water Retention: Ensures moisture stays within the mortar, enhancing quality.

Adhesion: Improves bonding to substrates, increasing structural integrity.

Crack Resistance: Reduces shrinkage cracks during drying, improving durability.

Viscosity Guidelines:

For standard applications, use HPMC with a viscosity of 4000 to 8000 mPa·s for good workability and water retention.

For improved flow and extended open time, opt for 8000 to 15000 mPa·s viscosity.

Q:What important roles does Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) play in gypsum-based mortars and drywall production?

A: HPMC serves multiple critical functions in gypsum-based materials:

Enhanced Workability: Increases the lubricity and plasticity of the mortar, making it easier to apply and smooth out.

Improved Water Retention: Reduces rapid surface moisture evaporation, ensuring uniform water distribution within the material, thus enhancing product quality.

Increased Adhesion: Enhances the mortar’s bonding to substrates, improving structural stability and durability.

Controlled Setting Time: Regulates open time and setting speed, providing a flexible working window for application.

Crack Resistance: Helps minimize shrinkage cracks during drying, improving durability and aesthetic appeal.

Optimized Surface Finish: Improves the smoothness and consistency of the final product.
