● HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose)
● MHEC / HEMC (Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose / Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose)
Overview
Wall putty, also known as skim coat, is a thin finishing layer applied to walls before painting or wallpapering. It provides a smooth, uniform surface and improves adhesion for top coatings. To ensure excellent workability, crack resistance, and long-lasting performance, modern wall putty formulations rely heavily on cellulose ethers like HPMC and MHEC.
At Hehui Chemical, we offer high-purity HPMC and MHEC products that are specifically engineered for use in cement-based and gypsum-based skim coats. Our additives enhance every aspect of the application process — from mixing to final finish.
Water Retention
Maintains adequate moisture during setting, allowing better cement hydration and preventing surface cracks or premature drying.
Workability Enhancement
Improves spread ability, smoothness, and ease of troweling — especially important for thin layers.
Open Time & Application Efficiency
Longer open time means fewer interruptions and more efficient on-site performance.
Anti-Sagging and Thixotropy
Improves vertical hold and consistency, allowing thick applications without dripping or sagging.
Surface Quality
Ensures a fine, pinhole-free finish that boosts paint adhesion and final appearance.
High viscosity stability and purity
Excellent compatibility with white cement and gypsum
Tailor-made grades for tropical and cold climate performance
Reduced air-entrainment for smoother surface
Produced in ISO-certified factories with advanced technology
Packaging: 25kg kraft bags with inner PE liner
Shelf Life: 2 years under dry, sealed conditions
Storage: Avoid direct contact with moisture and store in a cool, dry place

2. The cellulose ether additives enhance workability, allowing easy application with minimal lumps and excellent spreadability.
3. HPMC increases adhesion and flexibility, reducing the risk of cracking on interior walls.
4. Ideal for producing high-quality interior wall putty that delivers a fine finish and long-lasting performance.
1. HEMC offers superior water retention properties in exterior wall putty formulations, maintaining hydration in harsh weather conditions.
2. Cellulose ethers improve the flexibility and adhesion of exterior wall putty, enhancing resistance to cracking and weathering.
3. These additives contribute to the durability and protective qualities of coatings applied on outdoor surfaces.
4. Perfect for exterior wall putty designed to withstand environmental stresses and extend the lifespan of building facades.
1. Cellulose ethers like HPMC and HEMC enhance water retention and rheological properties in skim coat formulations, enabling smooth, lump-free application.
2. These additives improve workability and sag resistance, which is essential for vertical surfaces and ceilings.
3. They increase adhesion and flexibility, helping prevent cracks and enhancing durability.
4. Suitable for both interior and exterior skim coats requiring smooth, high-quality finishes.
1. Hehui's advanced cellulose ethers provide tailored water retention and viscosity control for specialty wall putty formulations used in demanding applications.
2. These additives deliver enhanced crack resistance and superior adhesion on challenging substrates such as gypsum boards or moisture-prone surfaces.
3. They optimize flow and leveling properties, ensuring a smooth and uniform finish even in specialized environments.
4. Designed for premium specialty wall putty products used in renovation, waterproofing, and high-performance decorative coatings.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. At Hehui Chemical, we manufacture high-purity HPMC designed to meet the demanding needs of dry mix mortars, water-based paints, and household detergent formulations.
MHEC, also known as HEMC (Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose), is a versatile cellulose ether widely used in construction materials and water-based Paint &coatings. As a modified cellulose ether, MHEC offers excellent water retention, thickening, and rheology control properties, making it a vital ingredient in products like tile adhesives, dry mix mortars, wall putty, gypsum plaster, and waterborne paints.
Hehui Hydroxyethyl Cellulose HEC Powder is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether designed to deliver excellent thickening, stabilization, and water retention across a wide range of industries. Made from high-purity natural cellulose, our HEC is ideal for water-based formulations in paints, coatings, construction materials, personal care products, and oilfield chemicals.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an anionic water-soluble polymer derived from refined cellulose. It is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, water retention agent, and film-forming agent.
