Crack-Resistant Walls: How HPMC Prevents Wall Cracking and Ensures Durability
Wall cracking is one of the most common—and visible—challenges in construction and renovation. Whether due to shrinkage, uneven drying, or structural movement, cracks weaken walls, reduce aesthetics, and invite damage. What Causes Wall Cracking? Several factors can trigger cracks in walls: Shri...Read more -
HEC in Water-Based Paints
Key Benefits in Water-Based Paints 1. Advanced Rheology Control HEC enables pseudo‑plastic (shear‑thinning) behavior, so paint spreads smoothly under brush or roller pressure and quickly regains thickness to avoid drips or sagging on walls 2. Efficient Thickening & Flow Control Even in low co...Read more -
