Description
Akulcel Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose is formulated to improve the workability of the mortar. It is manufactured by Sakshi Chem Sciences for cement-based tile adhesives. Also, you can use it for skim coats/wall putty, plasters/render, and external thermal insulation systems.
Regarding its technical specifications, it has a moisture content of 5% with a solid content of 95%. It looks white in color and has a bulk density of 0.4 gm/cc. Adkulcel – HPMC 150000 is soluble in water and gets dissolved in water easily. It has a viscosity of 55000 mPa’s (Brookfield) and 150,000 to 175,000 mPa’s for NDJ.
In general, the thickening effect of our HPMC can effectively control the mortar to attain the best consistency and enhance the cohesion of the mortar. The package of Akulcel – HPMC 150000 is available in a 25 kg bag and storage time should not exceed 12 months.
In short, better to use it within 12 months of its delivery. Always store the package in a cool and dry place away from moisture and water.

- Increase adhesion and cohesion of cement-based mixtures
- Provides stable viscosity and thickening characteristics
- Easily disperses and dissolves quickly in water
- Can be used in construction products to provide a smooth, fine finish
- Compatible with many construction formulations, such as tile adhesives, plasters, and wall putty
- Can be used for interior and exterior applications
AKULCEL 150000 offers improved control of mortar consistency and also provides superior results in terms of durability and rigidity of the provided construction material.
Commercial/Industrial Use:
These specifications provide consistent thickening characteristics and excellent water retention capacity for cement-based construction material formulations.
Dosage Guidelines
The dosage of AKULCEL 150000 (HPMC) depends on the specific formulation and application requirements.
General guidelines include:
- Typically used in small percentages within dry mix formulations.
- Added during the mixing stage along with other dry ingredients.
- Ensure uniform blending before adding water to achieve consistent dispersion.
- Laboratory trials are recommended to determine the most suitable dosage for each formulation.
- Proper dosage ensures optimal viscosity control, water retention, and improved mortar performance.
Product Benefits
Improved Workability
AKULCEL HPMC 150,000 is ideal for improving the workability of mortar and cement mixtures, which leads to smoother application and finishing at the time of construction.
Superior Water Retention
AKULCEL HPMC 150,000 enables the mortar to retain moisture for long enough to complete the process of the hydration of the cement, thus providing a stronger adhesive bond.
Smooth Surface Finish
AKULCEL HPMC 150,000 will assist the user in producing smooth, fine finishes to wall surfaces through its thickening and stabilizing effects.
Enhanced Adhesion and Cohesion
AKULCEL HPMC 150,000 will enhance the internal structure of the mortar, thus promoting bonding with the substrate and preventing the separation of the components of the mortar.
Versatile Use
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose can be used in a variety of ways in several industries, including but not limited to the construction, pharmaceutical, food, and personal care fields.
Superior Durability
The mortar will improve in hydration and cohesion, producing a stronger, longer-lasting construction material.
Packaging
AKULCEL HPMC 150,000 is sold in 25kg bags.
Packaging not only enables easy handling and safe transportation but also makes storage at the industrial site easier.
Storage & Shelf Life
