Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose HPMC
HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose is a methyl cellulose derivative made from nature cotton.It is a white powder that is odorless, tasteless and non-toxic.
It can be dissolve in water and form a clear solution with a specific viscosity.
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose has good stablity even in alkaline environment.
It is widely used in dry mortar, oil drilling,detergent, paint and coating.
Based on different applications, we can provide different grade HPMC, including
| Indicators | HPMC |
| Appearance | White to off-white powder |
| Methoxyl content(%) | 15-24 |
| Hydroxypropyloxy content(%) | 4-12 |
| Gelation temperature(ºC) | 75-90 |
| Moisture (%) | ≤6.0 |
| PH value | 5.0-8.0 |
| Ash content, (%) | ≤5,0 |
| Viscosity, NDJ viscometer, 2%water solution, (20ºC, m.Pa.s) | 320~200,000 |
| Viscosity, Brookfield RV, 2% solution (20˚C,m.Pa.s) | 320 - 80,000 m.Pa. s |
Construction Grade HPMC
in the construction industry as a water-retaining agent and retarder to increase bonding strength and workability.
Detergent Grade HPMC
used in shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, lotion, cream, gel, toner, conditioner, styling products, toothpaste, mouthwash, toy bubble water.
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose has thickening and antifreeze effects in shampoos and shower gels, and has water retention and good film-forming properties for hair and skin.
Paint and Costings Grade HPMC
Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose as a protective colloid shows good water retention and thickness.
Oil Drilling Grade HPMC
Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose provide fine gel, salt resistance, excellent sand-carrying property.
