Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is also named as MHPC, are types of non-ionic cellulose ether, which are a powder of white to off-white color, that function as a thickener, binder, film-former, surfactant, protective colloid, lubricant, emulsifier, and suspension and water retention aid. In addition, these types of cellulose ethers exhibit properties of thermal gelation, metabolic inertness, enzyme resistance, low odor and taste, and pH stability. HPMC are widely used in construction,pharmaceutical,food,cosmetic,detergent,paints,textiles etc.We can provide the general grade HPMC, we also designed the modified HPMC according to customer requirements. After modified, we can get the product which have long open time, good anti-sagging,good workability etc.

 

Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose (HPMC) helps building materials apply more easily and perform better. They provide water retention and cohesiveness to mixtures. With special modification, HPMC cellulose can be used to control thickening, water demand, workability, sag resistance, strength and other important properties of the final product. 

HPMC is widely used as thickener, adhesive, water preserving agent, film-foaming agent in building materials, industrial coatings, synthetic resin, ceramic industry, medicine, food, textile, agricultural, cosmetic and other industries.
