HEMC for Anti-Segregation in Self-Leveling Screeds
Historical Overview of Segregation in Self-Leveling Screeds Self-leveling screeds have long been used in construction to create smooth and level surfaces for flooring installations. However, one of the challenges that has plagued this material is the issue of segregation. Segregation occurs when the components of the screed, such as aggregates and binders, separate during mixing […]
Controlling Mortar Flow and Viscosity Using HEMC
How to Achieve Optimal Mortar Flow with HEMC Mortar is a crucial component in construction projects, used for binding bricks, stones, and other materials together. The flow and viscosity of mortar play a significant role in the success of a project, as they determine how easily the mortar can be applied and how well it […]
HEMC Applications in Lightweight Plaster Formulations
High Efficiency Microcrystalline Cellulose as a Filler in Lightweight Plaster Formulations High Efficiency Microcrystalline Cellulose (HEMC) has gained significant attention in recent years for its versatile applications in various industries. One of the areas where HEMC has shown great promise is in lightweight plaster formulations. Lightweight plasters are increasingly being used in construction due to […]
Enhancing Mortar Adhesion to Tiles and Stones
Importance of Proper Surface Preparation for Mortar Adhesion Proper surface preparation is crucial for ensuring strong adhesion between mortar and tiles or stones. Without adequate preparation, the bond between the two materials may be weak, leading to potential issues such as tiles or stones coming loose or grout cracking over time. To avoid these problems, […]
HEMC for Crack-Free Interior and Exterior Mortars
How to Achieve Crack-Free Interior Mortars with HEMC Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) is a key ingredient in the production of crack-free interior and exterior mortars. Mortars are essential in construction for bonding bricks, stones, and other materials together. However, one common issue that arises with mortars is the formation of cracks, which can compromise the […]
