Products Description
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), or hypromellose, is a non-ionic cellulose ether crafted from renewable sources like wood pulp or cotton linters. Through precise chemical modification, methoxy and hydroxypropyl groups are introduced to the cellulose structure, resulting in a water-soluble polymer with unique thermal gelation properties. This process makes HPMC highly adaptable for various industrial applications.
Product Overview
Appearance & Safety: Presented as a clean, white to off-white powder, HPMC is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic, ensuring safety for use in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Solubility: Cold water-soluble, it quickly forms clear, viscous solutions with surface-active properties.
Customizable Grades: Available in a wide viscosity range (10 - 200,000 mPa·s) and different methoxyl (19–30%) and hydroxypropyl (7–12%) contents, allowing you to choose the perfect grade for your specific product needs. Our powder is finely processed, with 95% passing through a 100-mesh sieve for seamless dispersion.
Key Features
Thermal Gelation: Solutions turn into gels at 40–50°C, ideal for controlled-release applications in pharmaceuticals and agriculture.
Superior Water Retention: Retains over 95% of water in construction materials, improving workability and preventing cracks.
PH & Salt Resistant: Maintains performance across pH 2–12 and in high-salt environments, ensuring stability in diverse formulations.
Excellent Film Formation: Creates clear, flexible films with strong barrier properties, great for coatings and packaging.
Advantage
Global Compliance: Meets strict international standards (USP, EP, FDA, JECFA), making it a reliable choice for global markets.
Sustainable Sourcing: Derived from renewable materials, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and aligning with green initiatives.
Cost-Effective: One product, multiple functions! HPMC serves as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, and more, reducing formulation costs.
Easy to Work With: Compatible with various manufacturing processes like wet granulation and film coating, streamlining production.
