Hpmc may serve as thickening agent, dispersant agent, emulsifying agent or film-forming agent, and its ndustrialized products may be applicable to the production of daily chemicals, synthetic resin, construction nd coating materials.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) or hypromellose is a derivatives of Methyl cellulose . It is a white or off-white fibrous or granular cellulose ether powder. It is currently the cellulose with the best performance in the world, integrating thickening, suspending, dispersing, emulsifying and stabilizing. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is non-toxic, easy to use, and easily soluble in water. It is a polyanion in aqueous solution and has unique physical properties.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose :


As the water-retaining agent and retarder of cement mortar, it enables mortar to own pumping capability. In cement mortar, gypsum slurry, putty powder or other building materials, it can function as adhesives to enhance smearing capacity and prolong operable time. In ceramic tiles, marble and plastic decoration, hpmc can be used as pasting strength agent and reduce the cement content. Water retention capacity of hpmc helps to prevent the crazing of slurry resulting from drying quickly and to enhance the strength after hardening.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is versatile:It is used in wide variety of applications, includeing food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, coatings, adhesives, extrusions and moldings, paper, paint removers, encapsulateions, inks, and many other applications requiring a film-former, stabilizer, suspending agent, film barrier, thermoplastic, orprotective colloid.
