It is a white or off-white powder, odorless and tasteless, soluble in cold water and some polar organic solvents, and has the properties of thickening, water retention, film formation, and thermal gelation. HPMC is widely used in many fields such as construction, food, medicine, and cosmetics.
Main characteristics:
Thickening property:
HPMC aqueous solution has good thickening effect and can increase the viscosity and viscosity of the material.
Water retention:
HPMC can effectively retain moisture, prevent the material from losing water quickly, prolong the operability time, and improve the construction performance of the material.
Film-forming property:
HPMC can form a thin film with certain protection and isolation effects.
Thermal gelation:
HPMC aqueous solution will form gel when heated to a certain temperature, and can return to the solution state after cooling.
