EipponCell HPMC YB 5100M is a hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) specifically designed for use in Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS/ETICS). HPMC is a water-soluble polymer that exhibits unique properties and functionalities in a variety of applications.
One notable characteristic of EipponCell HPMC YB 5100M is its rapid dispersion, swelling, and dissolution in cold water. This allows for easy handling and preparation of aqueous solutions. The solution remains stable at room temperature, but can undergo gelation at high temperatures, where the properties of the gel change with temperature. This thermal gelation property makes it suitable for applications involving temperature variability.
The HPMC solution demonstrated excellent wettability, dispersibility, adhesion, thickening, emulsification, salt discharge, water retention, and film formation properties. It forms films with outstanding toughness, flexibility and transparency, making it ideal for EIFS/ETICS applications where durability and aesthetics are critical.
Due to its non-ionic nature, EipponCell HPMC YB 5100M exhibits compatibility with other emulsifiers, facilitating its incorporation into various formulations. It is important to note, however, that HPMC is prone to saltation, meaning that it can precipitate in the presence of certain salts.
Another notable property of the HPMC is its thermal gelation behavior.. The aqueous solution of this product forms a gel and precipitates when heated, which dissolves upon cooling.. The gelation temperature may vary depending on the specific specifications of the HPMC product.
