EipponCell HPMC YB 560M is suitable for use in masonry mortar due to its notable properties: The HPMC exhibits exceptional water retention, allowing the mortar to remain serviceable for an extended period of time.   ​This offers advantages such as facilitating large-scale construction, enabling longer service life in the mixing bucket, and supporting batch mixing and batch utilization. The water retention properties of HPMC contribute to the thorough hydration of the cement within the mortar, effectively enhancing the bonding properties of the mortar. By significantly reducing the likelihood of segregation and bleeding, HPMC's superior water retention enhances the workability and constructionability of the mortar.
