Drymix mortar additives - HPMC
Drymix mortar is a good quality building material with excellent operating and laying characteristics. Drymix mortar composition consists of special Portland cement, well-graded mortar sand, and selected additives. It is commonly applied to all forms of masonry works. With high quality for brick and block placement.
HPMC for dry mix mortar has incredible bonding strength, even under the circumstances of hot weather. It helps to maintain enough moisture in the mortar and ensures strong adhesiveness.

Dry mortar vs Wet mortar

| Dry mix mortar | Wet mix mortar |
| Dry mix mortar is suitable for more delicate projects such as grouting, tile repair, reinforcing or repairing concrete. | Wet mix mortar is usually better for more extensive projects created from scratch, such as house building. |
| Storage time: | Storage time: |
| Dry mix versions are only mixed when required. Offering greater flexibility in terms of storage, large quantities can be stockpiled. | Wet mixes already contain water, as a matter of fact, they need to be used within 24 hours of the mixture being affected. |
| Equipment and site requirements: | Equipment and site requirements: |
| Dry mix mortar requires application equipment that mixes the dry material with water at the construction site. An ideal option for small to medium-sized projects in delicate concrete where workers have better control. | Wet mixing mortar requires more space on the construction site. So trucks can access and deliver the concrete material, making it more suitable for larger projects. |
HPMC functions in drymix mortar
Excellent water retention
Water retention is an important factor of HPMC. Its viscosity, dosage, and molecular structure also have a significant impact on its water retention level. Typically, a small amount of HPMC can greatly increase the water retention of a mortar.
Good thickening effect
HPMC increases the viscosity of the mortar, significantly improves the bonding ability of the mortar to the substrate and improves the resistance to sagging. The thickening effect of HPMC also improves the resistance to dispersion and homogeneity of the newly mixed material.
Air-entraining function
HPMC is a surfactant with surface activity and air-entraining effects. It improves the workability of freshly mixed materials, increases the plasticity and smoothness of mortar during operation and facilitates the spreading of mortar; increases mortar yield and reduces production costs.
