TS Group’s Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose (HEMC/MHEC) is a high-quality cellulose ether designed to enhance the performance of construction mortars and coatings. With excellent water solubility and consistent viscosity, it provides superior workability, durability, and stability in cement and gypsum-based systems.
Our HEMC products offer great performance in thickening, water retention, open time, and delayed solubility when needed, making them suitable for both standard and advanced construction applications.
Non-Modified HEMC
Our pure HEMC grades provide reliable performance for standard dry-mix systems:
- Reliable thickening properties
- Good wetting ability
- Strong water retention
- Easy mixing, stable consistency, and uniform application
Applications include:
- Tile adhesives and cement mortars
- Renders, plasters, and skim coats
- Gypsum-based products
Modified HEMC
Engineered foradvanced gypsum and cement systems, our modified HEMC grades deliver enhanced performance in:
- Extended open time for better on-site handling
- Superior water retention, our HEMC prevents the rapid drying that causes surface cracking and shrinkage
- Improved adhesion and flexibility for durable mortars
Especially effective in:
- Plasters, stucco
- Dry-mix gypsum based mortars
- Grouts and screed
- Skimcoats
TS Group’s HEMC supports both standard and advanced building materials with consistent quality, reliability, and performance.
