HPMC for skim coat/wall putty features:
● Good water retention will make sure all the additives reach the best performance in the product formulation.
● Good workability to increase the efficiency.
● HPMC could provide a good filming property on the surface of the wall putty, could reduce the water absorption of the base wall. Reduce the risk of cracking.
● Good say-resistance property by providing a good viscosity of the wet mortar.
