Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose（hpmc）Factory

Shijiazhuang Henggu Jianxin Cellulose Co.,Ltd is a reputable and leading factory in the field of cellulose ether products, specializing in meeting the changing needs of the construction industry. Our expertise distinguishes itself by supplying top-tier Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) products that consistently meet the industry's demands for quality and innovation. With an impressive 18-year legacy, we have an unparalleled understanding of the complexities and nuances of the field.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a synthetic compound derived from cellulose, a natural plant polymer. Manufactured through chemical modification, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is water-soluble and versatile, finding applications in various industries. It is used as a thickening and gelling agent in cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals, while also forming flexible films for drug coating and controlled release. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose stabilizes the texture of foods, delays the crystallization of sugar in confectionery and acts as a non-ionic safe ingredient. Its compatibility with various compounds, temperature and pH tolerance, and use in construction materials make it an important component in enhancing the performance of products from tablets to construction materials.

The characteristics of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose

（1）Water Solubility: HPMC is soluble in water and forms a clear and viscous solution when mixed with water. Solubility can be tuned by varying the degree of substitution (DS) and molecular weight of the polymer.

（2）Viscosity Control: HPMC is commonly used as a thickening and gelling agent in a variety of products including cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals. Its viscosity can be controlled by adjusting its concentration in the solution.

（3）Binder: In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC is used as a binder in tablet formulations. It helps hold the active ingredients together and ensures the integrity of the tablet.

（4）Controlled release: HPMC is used to control the release of active ingredients in pharmaceutical formulations. Depending on its properties, it can provide sustained or delayed release of the drug.

（5）Stabilizers: In food, HPMC acts as a stabilizer, helping to maintain the texture and consistency of a variety of foods including sauces, dressings and desserts.

（6）Temperature and pH tolerance: HPMC maintains its properties at a wide range of temperature and pH levels, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.

（7）Construction: In the construction industry, HPMC is used as a thickener, water retaining agent and binder in cement-based products. It improves the adhesion, workability and overall performance of building materials.

FAQ

What is HPMC used for?

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a cellulose ether in which the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose chain are replaced by methoxy or hydroxypropyl groups. HPMC is used as a thickener, adhesive and film former in agrochemicals, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, inks and a variety of other applications. The aqueous solution of HPMC undergoes reversible gelation when heated, thereby controllably increasing the green strength of the green ceramic body.

Is HPMC safe for humans?

HPMC is the abbreviation of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. It is a dissolving agent commonly used in pharmaceutical, food, construction and cosmetics fields. Overall, HPMC is generally considered safe and is widely used in many applications.

However, safety depends on use, dosage and individual differences. In the pharmaceutical and food industries, products using HPMC are often subject to necessary safety assessment and supervision. If you have safety concerns about HPMC for a specific use or product, it is best to consult the relevant scientific literature or consult a professional.

What are the disadvantages of HPMC?

HPMC, as a polymer, has shown good properties in many applications, but it also has some shortcomings. HPMC is a soluble dye in cold water and requires a certain temperature to fully dissolve. Thermal stability of HPMC may be relatively low compared to other materials. In high temperature environments, it may cascade or lose some performance. The strength of HPMC may decrease in dry environments, which may impact some applications requiring moisturizing strength.
