Tenessy HPMC for Drymix Mortar
TENESSY™ Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC) is a versatile, high-performance polymer designed to enhance the consistency, stability, and construction performance of drymix mortars. It dissolves easily in cold water to form a smooth and uniform solution, acting as a thickener, stabilizer, and water-retention agent.
In cement- and gypsum-based mortars, HEMC ensures the mix has the right viscosity, prevents segregation, and keeps the material workable for longer. Compared to HPMC, TENESSY™ HEMC offers better water retention, higher temperature resistance, and stronger anti-mold properties, making it an excellent choice for drymix products used in both interior and exterior construction.
How Does HEMC Work in Drymix Mortar
When mixed into dry mortar formulations, HEMC forms a colloidal film around cement or gypsum particles. This film helps regulate water evaporation and improves the hydration process. The result is a mix that retains water efficiently, spreads smoothly, and bonds strongly to the substrate.
HEMC also enhances the stability of the mixture, preventing material separation or sagging during application. Its superior viscosity control helps maintain the mortar’s shape and ensures consistent workability—key factors for modern drymix products like wall putty, tile adhesives, plaster, and self-leveling compounds.
Recommended HEMC Grades for Drymix Mortar
TENESSY™ HEMC is available in multiple viscosity grades to meet various drymix mortar needs:
HEMC MET60
25,000-35,000 mPa·s
Cement mortar and gypsum-based materials, waterproof coatings
HEMC MET100
90,000-110,000 mPa·s Tile adhesives, grouts, waterproof and self-leveling mortars
HEMC MET150
60,000-70,000 mPa·s
Waterproof and self-leveling mortars, water-based paints and coatings
Key Benefits of HEMC in Drymix Mortar
- Excellent Water Retention: Prevents rapid water loss, ensuring complete cement hydration and stronger bonding.
- Improved Workability: Provides a creamy, smooth texture for easy spreading, reducing labor fatigue and improving finish quality.
- Strong Anti-Sag and Anti-Slip Performance: Keeps mortar stable after application—ideal for vertical surfaces like wall renders and tile mortars.
- Stable Consistency and Mixing: Ensures even distribution of additives and aggregates, preventing segregation and maintaining uniform performance.
- Extended Open Time and Pot Life: Slows drying, giving workers more flexibility without compromising adhesion.
- Excellent Heat and Microbial Resistance: Maintains viscosity under high temperatures and resists microbial growth for longer shelf life.
Other Cellulose Ether Applications
Tennessee Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) improves the workability, water retention, and bonding strength of various building materials, delivering reliable performance in self leveling, wall putties, gypsum plaster, exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), and other dry-mix products.
