LANDU HPMC Product Specifications
What is HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose?
HPMC falls into the category of non-ionic cellulose ethers. It is produced by chemically modifying natural cellulose from wood or cotton, starting with methylcellulose as a base material. By adding hydroxypropyl groups (-OCH₂CHOHCH₂), HPMC takes on the combined properties of both methyl and hydroxypropyl substituents. This structure gives it better solubility, higher gelation temperature, and improved stability in real-world applications.
As a trusted HPMC Supplier, LANDU offers a wide selection of grades to meet different industry needs. Our products function as effective thickeners, binders, film-formers, and stabilizers.
As a Reliable Chinese HPMC Supplier, LANDU offers various grades of HPMC as an effective thickener, binder, movie previous, and stabilizer. Our superior products are commonly made use of in cleaning agent and dry-mix mortar, such as tile adhesive, wall putty, self-leveling substances, EIFS systems, and so on.

LANDU Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose(HPMC) Grades
1. Non-surface cured HPMC
Non-surface-treated HPMC can dissolve directly in water immediately, forming a viscous solution. It is suitable for applications requiring instant thickness or binding, such as ceramic tile adhesive, wall putty, EIFS systems, and self-leveling compounds.
2. Surface-treated HPMC
Surface-treated HPMC is modified to delay its dissolution in water. This treatment is applied to control the hydration rate, making it suitable for applications where delayed solubility is needed for better performance, such as personal care and home care detergents.
Key Properties and Benefits of LANDERCOLL® HPMC
HPMC significantly delays water evaporation, improving workability and hardening effects.
Thickening Effect
LANDERCOLL HPMC forms a highly viscous aqueous solution.
Film-forming Ability
HPMC creates flexible and transparent films, making it ideal for coatings.
Anti-slipping Ability
Suspension Stability
Crack Resistance
Improved Adhesion

LANDERCOLL HPMC Packaging & Sizes
In Northern Europe (including Bavaria, Germany; Poland; Sweden; etc.), winter construction takes place at low temperatures (5–10°C). Under these conditions, traditional tile adhesives are prone to issues such as insufficient water retention, short open times, and hollowing or detachment; furthermore, they must comply with the EU EN 12004 standard for construction adhesives.
European Winter Tile Adhesive Application (Germany)
Problem: Low-temperature construction causes rapid water loss, skinning, and hollowing. LANDU Solution: We rely on LANDU’s LanderColl™ HPMC (100,000 cps) for our winter tile adhesive production in Bavaria. Formulated at 0.4%, it significantly extends workability to over 25 minutes at 8°C. The consistent water retention meets EN 12004 quality standards, eliminating cold-weather clumping and hollowing risks.
Summer ETICS Mortar Application (Spain)
Problem: High temperatures induce quick drying, cracking, and poor adhesion. LANDU Solution: For hot climate projects in Spain, LANDU’s HPMC provides exceptional water retention to prevent summer shrinkage cracks. Combined with a retarder, our 150,000 cps grade ensures stable workability during intense heat. It complies with ETAG 004 and REACH regulations, offering a reliable, durable solution for European construction.

What Should You Do if the HPMC Solution Forms Lumps or is Difficult to Dissolve?
Pre-dispersion method: First, mix HPMC with a small amount of other powder (e.g., cement), then add water and stir.
Adjust water temperature: Disperse in cold water first, then heat to 60°C for dissolution (avoid direct hot water addition).
Extend stirring time: Use a high-shear mixer to accelerate dissolution. Tip: Choose surface-treated HPMC (e.g., instant-dissolving grade) to reduce the risk of lump formation.
How Do HPMC and Polymer Powder (e.g., VAE) Work Synergistically in Mortar?
- HPMC: Provides water retention, thickening, and extended open time.
- Polymer Powder (e.g., VAE): Enhances adhesive strength, flexibility, and impact resistance.
- HPMC: 0.2%–0.4%
- Polymer Powder (VAE): 1%–3%
- HPMC slows down cement hydration, improving workability.
- Polymer powder forms a film upon drying, enhancing final strength and durability.
How Does the Gelation Temperature of HPMC Affect Its Applications?
- High-Temperature Applications (e.g., Construction Mortar): HPMC, with a high gelation temperature (e.g., 60–90°C), remains soluble under high temperatures, delaying the hydration of cement, and improving water retention and workability.
- Low-Temperature Applications (e.g., Food, Pharmaceuticals): HPMC with a low gelation temperature (e.g., 40–50°C) forms gels quickly at body or processing temperatures, making it suitable for controlled release, thickening, or film formation.
- Stability Considerations: The gelation temperature must match the environmental temperature to avoid:
- Premature gelation (leading to failure)
- Delayed gelation (affecting performance)
- Adjustment Methods: The gelation temperature can be tailored by modifying the methoxy/hydroxypropyl substitution degree or molecular weight to meet different application requirements.
How Can HPMC Be Tested for Purity or Quality?
- Viscosity: Measured using a rotational viscometer (test conditions: 20°C, 2% aqueous solution, Brookfield or equivalent standard method).
- Substitution Degree (Methoxy/Hydroxypropoxy Content): Determined by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) or chemical titration, directly affecting solubility and gelation temperature.
- Ash Content: Residue analysis after high-temperature incineration (e.g., 800°C). High-quality HPMC typically has an ash content of ≤1% (excessive levels may indicate inorganic impurities).
- Moisture Content: Measured using a Karl Fischer moisture titrator (standard range is generally ≤5%; excessive moisture may impact stability).
