Properties and Usage:

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (CAS 9004-65-3), referred to as HPMC, is a highly efficient water-soluble cellulose ether with multiple properties such as thickening, water retention, and film-forming. It is used in many fields such as construction, pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.

 

Construction and construction

Dry mortar: HPMC, as a thickener and water retention agent, can enhance the uniformity and adhesion of mortar, reduce cracking and defects during construction.

Binder: Used in concrete and tile adhesives, HPMC effectively improves the fluidity and construction performance of the material, ensuring a strong bonding effect.

Gypsum and repair materials: HPMC enhances the operability of gypsum products, prolongs its operability time, and prevents construction defects caused by premature drying.

 

Pharmaceutical industry

Drug sustained release: In drug sustained-release tablets, HPMC helps control the release rate of drugs and achieves precise drug efficacy control.

Drug capsules: As one of the components of capsules, HPMC provides excellent stability and release control, ensuring efficient drug release.

Tablet binder: HPMC is used as a binder for tablets, which improves the strength and stability of tablets and improves the consistency and reliability of the production process.

 

Food industry

Food thickener: HPMC is used as a thickener and stabilizer in food to improve the taste and texture of food and improve the overall quality.

Low-fat food: As a fat substitute, HPMC is used in low-fat and fat-free foods to improve the texture and consistency of food.

Seasoning and sauces: By increasing viscosity and stability, HPMC improves the quality of seasonings and sauces, making them more attractive.

 

Cosmetic industry

Skin care products: HPMC is used as a thickener and stabilizer in skin care products such as creams and lotions to improve the consistency and uniformity of the product, and help the product form a moisturizing layer on the skin surface to lock in moisture.

Shampoo and shower gel: HPMC improves the viscosity of toiletries, enhances the stability of foam, and prolongs the durability of foam.

 

Textile Industry

Dyes and Finishing Agents: HPMC, as a thickener and binder in textile dyes and finishing agents, improves the dispersibility and dyeing uniformity of dyes, enhances the feel and overall processing effect of textiles, and enhances the fastness after dyeing.

 

Agriculture and Horticulture

Seed Coating: Used in seed coating, HPMC improves seed processing and sowing effects and promotes the healthy growth of crops.

Soil Improver: As one of the ingredients of soil improver, HPMC improves the water retention and structural stability of the soil, which helps improve the growth conditions of crops.

 

Storage conditions: Store in a dry, ventilated, clean warehouse, away from heat sources and avoid direct sunlight. Avoid sun and rain during transportation.

Packing: This product is packed in 25kg bags, and it can also be customized according to customers' requirements
