Frequently Asked Questions
HEMC (Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose) differs from HPMC by the addition of hydroxyethyl groups, which often provides different gel temperatures and water retention characteristics tailored for specific construction environments.
HEMC significantly improves the stickiness and compatibility of tile adhesives, reducing moisture evaporation and ensuring tiles adhere firmly without sagging or sliding during installation.
Yes, PEZE supports OEM customization. We offer a wide range of viscosity levels (from 20,000 to 200,000 mPa.s) to suit different needs, from thickening to dispersion.
HEMC is hydrophilic; it should be kept in a cool, dry condition, sealed away from humidity, and stored away from direct sunlight or fire sources.
Our standard delivery time is between 7 to 14 days, depending on the order volume and the chosen shipping method (CIF, FOB, etc.).
Yes, especially our high-gel-temperature grades. HEMC in joint fillers and mortars remains stable and durable even in hot weather, maintaining strong cohesiveness.
