KimaCell®HPMC K15M is used as film coating and binder in pharmaceutical tablets, it can significantly improve the solubility of drugs and enhance the water resistance of tablets. It can also be used as suspension, ophthalmic preparation, sustained and controlled release agent matrix and floating tablet, etc. When HPMC K15M is combined with other synthetic polymers and colloidal drugs to prevent water and ethanol from separating from the transparent hydrocolloid and improve water retention, it is also used as a thickener, emulsifier and rheological properties. And other daily chemical industries, etc.

What Is HPMC K15M?

HPMC K15M is a high-viscosity, water-soluble cellulose derivative known for its excellent thickening, gelling, and emulsifying properties. Its ability to form stable gel-like structures in aqueous solutions makes it highly effective in applications requiring viscosity control and consistent performance. Non-ionic and pH-stable, Methocel K15M offers versatility across a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and construction. Thanks to its high molecular weight, it excels in binding, suspending, and improving the texture of formulations, making it a key ingredient for enhancing product quality and functionality.

What Is the Viscosity of HPMC K15m?

The viscosity of HPMC K15M (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose K15M) typically ranges from 12000.0-18000.0cps when dissolved at a 2% concentration in water at 20°C. This high viscosity makes it ideal for applications that require thickening, gelling, or suspending properties. The viscosity of HPMC K15M can be further customized by adjusting the concentration or modifying the formulation, providing flexibility for a variety of uses.
