U-3130 HPMC for High Anti-Slip Tile Adhesive Systems
U-3130 is a medium viscosity Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) developed for cement-based tile adhesive applications that require extremely high anti-slip performance and strong thickening control.
This grade is specifically used as an anti-sagging and thickening agent, helping tile adhesives maintain excellent position stability, improved workability, and enhanced open time during construction.
U-3130 is suitable for demanding tile installation scenarios where tile sliding, joint penetration, and construction precision must be strictly controlled.
As a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether, U-3130 offers consistent quality and reliable performance for professional dry mix mortar manufacturers.
U3130 HPMC Product Description
U-3130 is supplied as a white or light yellow fine powder, tasteless and odorless, with uniform particle size and good dispersibility in water.
With its medium viscosity and strong thickening capability, U-3130 significantly increases mortar body strength while maintaining smooth application behavior.
Compared with U-3120, U-3130 delivers stronger anti-slip performance and higher thickening effect, making it suitable for more demanding tile adhesive systems.

Key Properties & Advantages
U3130 is precisely engineered to improve the performance of tile adhesive mortars across key functional areas:
Extremely High Anti-Slip Performance
U-3130 provides exceptional resistance to tile sliding, ensuring tiles remain firmly in position immediately after placement.
- Minimizes tile movement on vertical surfaces
- Improves installation accuracy and alignment
- Enhances construction reliability for demanding projects
This makes U-3130 ideal for high anti-slip tile adhesive formulations.
Strong Thickening & Mortar Structure Control
As a thickening agent, U-3130 significantly improves mortar body strength and internal cohesion.
- Provides strong thickening effect
- Enhances mortar stability during application
- Prevents material collapse and sagging
This thickened structure supports stable construction performance.
Improved Workability & Surface Smoothness
Despite its strong thickening ability, U-3130 maintains good workability and smooth application behavior.
- Improves troweling smoothness
- Enhances surface finish quality
- Makes construction easier and more controllable
Reduced Joint Penetration & Enhanced Bonding
Thickened tile adhesive formulated with U-3130 is less likely to penetrate tile joints, helping reduce sealant consumption.
- Reduces grout penetration
- Improves bonding efficiency
- Contributes to stronger overall adhesion
