Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose
(HPMC)
Brief Introduction
SidleyCel® Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is non ionic cellulose ether made from natural cotton fiber under series of chemical processing. It's odorless, tasteless and non-toxic white powder, can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution with the properties of thickening, binding, dispersing, emulsifying, film coating, suspending, absorbing, gelling, water retention and colloid protection.

Excellent workability: provide suitable viscosity, good plasticity and easy for construction.
Good water retention: make the slurry fully hydrated, extend the open time and avoid cracking.
Good slipping resistance: make slurry adhere to the surface strongly to prevent slipping.
