U-3110 HPMC for C1 & C2 Cement-Based Tile Adhesive
U-3110 is a low viscosity Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) specifically developed for cement-based ceramic tile adhesives, especially for applications requiring anti-sagging performance and extended open time.
This grade is designed to support C1 and C2 standard tile adhesive systems, making it suitable for large ceramic tile installation, where workability, slip resistance, and application stability are critical.
As a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether, U-3110 offers stable performance, easy dispersion, and consistent quality for professional dry mix mortar production.
U3110 HPMC Product Description
U-3110 is a modified cellulose ether supplied as a white or light yellow fine powder, tasteless and odorless.
Its low viscosity design allows improved flow behavior while still providing excellent construction control in tile adhesive systems.
Compared with medium or high viscosity grades such as U-3040 and U-3070, U-3110 focuses more on anti-sagging behavior, open time control, and large tile handling, making it an ideal solution for advanced ceramic adhesive formulations.

Key Properties & Advantages
U3110 is precisely engineered to improve the performance of tile adhesive mortars across key functional areas:
Excellent Anti-Sagging Performance
U-3110 provides outstanding anti-slip and sag resistance, helping tiles remain in position immediately after placement, especially on vertical surfaces.
- Reduces tile sliding during wall installation
- Improves position stability for large ceramic tiles
- Enhances installation accuracy and finish quality
This anti-sagging behavior is essential for C1 and C2 tile adhesive systems, particularly in modern large-format tile applications.
Low Viscosity with Superior Workability
With its low viscosity profile, U-3110 delivers smooth application and easy mortar adjustment during tile installation.
- Improves spreading and troweling smoothness
- Reduces application resistance for large tile formats
- Supports efficient construction with less labor fatigue
This makes U-3110 especially suitable where easy handling and precise placement are required.
Extended Open Time
U-3110 helps maintain adequate moisture at the adhesive surface, providing sufficient open time for tile positioning and adjustment.
- Allows flexible tile placement
- Reduces installation errors
- Supports stable bonding development during curing
This feature is particularly important for large ceramic tiles and complex layouts.
Stable Performance for C1 & C2 Standards
Designed for higher-performance tile adhesive systems, U-3110 supports consistent formulation behavior under different application conditions.
- Suitable for C1 and C2 ceramic tile adhesives
- Stable performance in cement-based systems
- Reliable batch-to-batch consistency
