Another advantage of HPMC is its resistance to sagging. When tiles are applied to walls or ceilings, it is essential that the adhesive holds the tiles in place without slipping. HPMC-enhanced tile adhesives have a thixotropic nature, which means they can maintain their shape under gravitational forces, providing a stable hold for tiles during the installation process. This characteristic not only enhances safety but also improves the overall aesthetic of the finished project.

Another important property of HPMC is its rheological behavior. The polymer exhibits pseudoplasticity, meaning that its viscosity decreases under shear stress. This property is particularly useful in formulations requiring easy application and spreading. For instance, in the cosmetics industry, HPMC allows for smoother application of creams and lotions while providing stability to emulsions. Similarly, in the food industry, it is used as a thickening agent and stabilizer to improve texture without compromising flavor.
