Mydroxypropyl Méthylcellulose (HPMC), also known as , is a non-ionic cellulose ether made from natural polymer such as refined cotton or wood pulp through a series of chemical processes.HPMC is methyl cellulose ether derivatives polymer. HPMC cellulose is an odorless, non-toxic, tasteless white powder that can be dissolved in hot and cold water to form a transparent viscous solution.HPMC hydroxypropyl methylcellulose has the properties of thickening, binding, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming, suspending, adsorbing, gelling, surface active, water retention and protecting colloid. HPMC cellulose is widely used as a thickener for dry-mixed mortars, tile adhesives, water-based paints, wall putty for interior and exterior walls, thermal insulation mortar series, pharmaceutical excipient, food ingredient, PVC, detergent, ceramics, Personal care & home care, textile etc.

What Is Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Used For?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) Uses

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is mainly derived from refined cotton/wood pulp, which is alkalized to obtain cellulose, and then added with propylene oxide and methyl chloride for etherification to obtain cellulose ether.HPMC Cellulose act as thickener, water retaining agent, dispersant, stabilizer, emulsifier, binder, excipient, film former in various industries. HPM cellulose is widely used in construction dry-mixed mortar, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, ceramics, paper, synthetic resin, leather, food and cosmetics and other industries.KimaCell® Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) has the advantages of wide application, small unit usage, good modification effect, and environmental friendliness. HPMC products can significantly improve and optimize product performance in the field of its addition, which is conducive to improving resource utilization efficiency and product added value. Environmentally friendly additives that are essential in various fields.
