1. Construction Industry: As a water-retaining agent and retarder in cement mortar, it improves the pumpability of the mortar. In plaster, gypsum, putty powder, and other building materials, it acts as an adhesive, improving spreadability and extending workability. It is used as a bonding agent for tiles, marble, and plastic decorations, and can also reduce cement usage. HPMC's water-retaining properties prevent the mortar from cracking due to excessive drying after application, enhancing its hardened strength.
2. Ceramic Manufacturing Industry: Widely used as an adhesive in ceramic product manufacturing.
3. Coating Industry: In the coating industry, it acts as a thickener, dispersant, and stabilizer, exhibiting good compatibility in water and organic solvents. It is also used as a paint remover.
4. Ink Printing Industry: In the ink industry, it acts as a thickener, dispersant, and stabilizer, exhibiting good compatibility in water and organic solvents.
5. Plastics: Used as a molding release agent, softener, and lubricant.
6. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Used as a dispersant in PVC production and is a major auxiliary agent in the suspension polymerization preparation of PVC.
7. Pharmaceutical Industry: Coating materials; film materials; rate-controlled polymer materials for sustained-release formulations; stabilizers; suspending agents; tablet binders; thickeners
8. Others: Also widely used in the leather, paper products, fruit and vegetable preservation, and textile industries, etc.
