The beneficial effects of Eippon Cell® HEMC LH 610M hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose in improving the work performance of mortar. The presence of this cellulose ether results in several positive outcomes, such as enhanced workability and reduced sagging of the mortar. Additionally, it prevents adhesion with construction tools, making application smoother.
Moreover, Eippon Cell® HEMC LH 610M provides improved pulp performance, which contributes to easier leveling and faster curing of the mortar.
Another crucial property of methyl cellulose ether is its water retention capacity. This feature allows for the adjustment of the opening time and coagulation process of the mortar system, providing control over the working time of the product.
The gradual release of water over an extended period further ensures effective bonding of the mortar to the substrate, enhancing the overall performance and durability of the finished construction project.
