Wall Putty / Skim Coat Application

Recommended Additives:
  • HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose)
  • MHEC / HEMC (Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose / Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose)
Overview

Putty is a coating applied to the wall before painting or wallpapering to level the surface. It provides a smooth and uniform finish and enhances the adhesion of water-based paints. To facilitate the construction process for the workers and to ensure the strength and durability of the later wall surface, modern wall leveling materials extensively use hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxyethyl methylcellulose, and other cellulose ethers.

Xinwohao’s HPMC and MHEC products are specifically designed for cement-based and gypsum-based putty layers. Our additives can enhance every aspect of the construction process – from mixing to final application.

Role of HPMC & MHEC in Wall Putty

  • Anti-Sagging and Thixotropy
  • Improves vertical hold and consistency, allowing thick applications without dripping or
    sagging.
  • Water retention effect
    HPMC can prolong the drying time of putty powder, assist in the full reaction of materials
    such as lime and calcium under the influence of water, and enhance the hardening strength.
  • Thickening effect
    HPMC achieves this by providing a thickening effect, enabling the putty powder to be
    uniformly suspended. This prevents runny phenomena during the construction process and
    maintains the stability of the slurry.

Why Choose Xinwohao’s Cellulose Ethers for Wall Putty?

  • High viscosity stability and purity
  • Excellent compatibility with white cement and gypsum
  • More resistant to high temperatures, yet still excellent for exterior wall construction.
  • Utilizing advanced technology,the quality is stable.

Superior Wall Putty Solutions Powered by HPMC and HEMC

01 Interior Wall Putty

1. Shenwo Hao Chemical’s HPMC and HEMC enhance the water retention of interior
wall putty, preventing cracking caused by rapid drying and ensuring proper curing at the right
time.
2. The application of cellulose ethers makes it easy to apply, allowing workers to relax during
construction.
3. HPMC can enhance the adhesiveness, making the putty powder easier to adhere to the wall
surface.
4. The cellulose ether and starch ether we produce are used for construction, which makes the
wall surface smooth and tidy, and easier to be polished.

02 Exterior Wall Putty

HEMC and HPMC are used in exterior wall
putty.

1. Even in the case of high-temperature conditions on the exterior walls during the hot summer,
it can still retain moisture.
2. At the construction site, workers can quickly mix the putty using the mixing equipment.
3. Perfect for exterior wall putty designed to withstand environmental stresses and extend the
lifespan of building facades.
4. Increase the coating rate, enhance durability and protection performance

03 Skim Coat

HPMC & HEMC for Skim Coat(Smooth
Finishing)

1. Suitable for both interior and exterior skim coats requiring smooth, high-quality finishes.
2. These additives improve workability and sag resistance, which is essential for vertical
surfaces and ceilings.
3. Cellulose ethers like HPMC and HEMC enhance water retention and rheological properties in
skim coat formulations, enabling smooth, lump-free application.

04 Specialty Wall Putty

Advanced Cellulose Ethers for Specialty Wall
Putty

1. Cellulose ethers are used in the putty powder for filling gaps, providing water retention and
adhesion properties.
2. Designed for premium specialty wall putty products used in renovation, waterproofing, and
high-performance decorative coatings.
3. These additives deliver enhanced crack resistance and superior adhesion on challenging
substrates such as gypsum boards or moisture-prone surfaces.
