How to judge the quality of #HPMC for construction? 1. Whiteness: Although whiteness does not determine whether HPMC is easy to use, and if a whitening agent is added in the production process, it will affect its quality. However, most of the good products have good whiteness. 2. Fineness: The fineness of HPMC powder is generally 80 mesh and 100 mesh, and 120 mesh is less. The finer the fineness, the better. 3. Transmittance: Put hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) powder in water to form a transparent colloid, and look at its transmittance. 4. The larger the proportion, the heavier the better. The specific gravity is large, generally because the hydroxypropyl content in it is high, so the water retention is better. #ConstructionMaterials #ChemicalPowder https://buff.ly/3BpAZWq
