Celix Cellulose Co., Ltd, is an integrated chemical cellulose manufacturer with in-house R&D, factories, and global sales sites.
Our products include HPMC, HEC, MHEC, VAE RDP, PCE, PVA, Defoamers, PP fibers, HPS, SHP and Gypsum Retarder.
In dry-mix mortar production, choosing the right cellulose ether determines the final product's open time and sag resistance. Celix PM-55U is engineered to eliminate the most common application failures in skim coat and wall putty powder
Addressing Cracking & Dehydration
Our cellulose ether polymer (HPMC) provides exceptional water retention (up to 95%), holding hydration water within the thin cement/gypsum matrix, preventing premature drying on highly absorbent substrates.
Eliminating Blistering & Sagging:
With a precise 55,000 mPa.s Brookfield viscosity profile, PM-55U introduces optimal pseudoplasticity (shear-thinning behavior). It applies effortlessly under the trowel but stands firm once applied, preventing sagging.
Enhancing Lumps-Free Dissolution:
Specially treated particles ensure uniform dispersion in dry-mix plants, preventing dry lumps and local air entrainment during mixing.
Our hpmc products utilize advanced, fully automated reactor technology from Germany, ensuring high product purity, cost-effectiveness, and consistent quality. This technological advantage allows us to offer affordable solutions without compromising performance reliability.

* Technical R&D Note: For premium internal/external wall skim coats, blending Celix HPMC with our VAE Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP) significantly improves flexibility, impact resistance, and bond strength to smooth concrete surfaces. Inquire about our Blended Formulation Support.
As a trusted global supplier exporting to over 150 countries, Celix bridges the gap between massive manufacturing capacity and rigorous scientific research.
Advanced German Reactor Technology:
Our production lines utilize fully automated German reactor systems. This ensures high chemical purity, strict control over substitution uniformity, and zero manual batch variation.
Massive & Reliable Supply Chain:
With a daily production capacity of 80 tons and an annual output exceeding 30,000 tons, we guarantee uninterrupted supply chains for large-scale dry-mix mortar plants and global distributors.
Dual In-House Laboratories & Strict QC:
Every batch of our cellulose ether undergoes a multi-step quality control protocol—from raw material inspection to application testing (open time, tensile strength, and water retention efficiency) in our two dedicated technical centers.
Fully Transparent Portal:
We support online factory inspections at any time and welcome on-site visits.

In skim coat and wall putty, cellulose ether (primarily HPMC or MHEC) serves three vital functions: it provides high water retention to allow proper cement hydration, significantly improves workability for smoother troweling, and enhances sag resistance to ensure a uniform layer thickness on vertical walls.
Yes. Through our Customized Formulation Service, our R&D team can adjust the etherification degrees, viscosity ranges (from 40,000 to 200,000 mPa.s), and surface treatments to match your specific local temperature, humidity, and raw material variations.
We utilize fully automated DCS manufacturing systems that tightly control raw material feeding, reaction temperatures, and pressure profiles. Furthermore, pre-shipment samples from our laboratories are archived for 2 years to ensure full traceability for every container shipped.
