Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a versatile, non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural refined cotton. It is a white or slightly yellowish powder that dissolves in cold water to form a transparent, viscous colloidal solution. Its key properties include thickening, bonding, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming, suspending, and moisture retention, making it invaluable across numerous sectors. From improving the workability and water retention of cement-based building materials like mortar and tile adhesives, to acting as a crucial excipient in pharmaceuticals and a stabilizer in food products, HPMC offers unparalleled performance enhancement.
- Leverage HPMC for superior water retention in cement-based mortars, ensuring adequate hydration and preventing premature drying in construction applications.
- Experience improved workability and consistency in dry mix mortar formulations, making application easier and more efficient.
- Utilize HPMC as a key ingredient in pharmaceutical grade HPMC uses, serving as a binder, film-former, and controlled-release agent.
- Benefit from HPMC's properties as a stabilizer and emulsifier in food products, contributing to desired textures and shelf-life.
