Frequently Asked Questions

What does HPMC do in tile adhesive?

It retains water so the cement can hydrate and cure properly, improves workability and open time, and gives sag resistance — key to a strong, workable tile adhesive.

Which HPMC viscosity do I need?

It depends on the application — tile adhesive, putty and render use different viscosities. Our team can advise on the right grade.

Can you supply in bulk?
