Maiancel | Hidroxi Propil Metil Celulose

O MAIANCEL It is an HPMC (Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), a non-ionic cellulose ether used primarily as a thickener, water-retaining agent, film former, and suspending agent.

In mortars, it promotes increased viscosity and water retention necessary for cement hydration, contributing to workability, adhesion to the substrate and the back of the ceramic piece, and aiding in mechanical resistance. It also prolongs the mortar's coolness.

Benefits

• Promotes increased viscosity.
• Increases water retention.
• It promotes cement hydration.
• Improves the workability of the mortar.
• It aids in mechanical resistance.
• Improves adhesion to the substrate.
• Improves adhesion to the back of the ceramic piece.
• Extends the cooling time of the mortar.
• It acts as a thickener.
• Acts as a suspension agent.
• It exhibits film-forming properties.
