The Role Of HPMC In Tile Adhesive/Glue: 
Adjust the open time of tile adhesive: 
Cellulose Ether HPMC/MHPC will form thin film on the surface of tile adhesive
to reduce moisture evaporation. Help tile adhesive increase the open time.
Increase tensile strength:
 The good property of water retention could make sure keep enough water for
cement hydration.
Good workability:
Choose the right Cellulose Ether HPMC/MHPC, could make the mortar easy to
scrape on the wall, increase the efficiency.
Increase the anti-slip property: 
Can increase the binding strength of wet mortar, increase the anti-slip
property.
