HPMC for Self-Leveling Floor Compounds

HPMC for Self-Leveling Floor Compounds

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) used in self-leveling floor compounds (SLF) is considered a construction-grade (building-grade) material.

Key Reasons Why HPMC is Used in Self-Leveling Floor Compounds (Construction Application):

1. Improved Workability – HPMC enhances flowability and self-leveling properties, ensuring a smooth, even surface.

2. Water Retention – Prevents rapid water loss, aiding proper cement hydration and reducing cracking.

3. Anti-Sag & Thickening – Provides viscosity control, preventing segregation while allowing the mixture to settle evenly.

4. Adhesion & Cohesion – Improves bonding to substrates and reduces shrinkage.

Grades of HPMC for Self-Leveling Compounds:

• Typically, medium to high viscosity grades (e.g., 15,000–60,000 mPa·s) are used, depending on the formulation.

• Modified versions (e.g., redispersible polymer powders) may be combined for enhanced performance

HPMC in self-leveling flooring is specifically a construction-grade additive, crucial for achieving high-quality, durable flooring systems.
