Pharmaceutical & Food Grade HPMC

Product Details

Hypromellose , short for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), is a semisynthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used as an ophthalmic lubricant, as well as an excipient and controlled-delivery component in oral medicaments, found in a variety of commercial products. As a food additive, hypromellose is an emulsifier, thickening and suspending agent, and an alternative to animal Gelatin.

Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose HPMC MELLUTEL Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose HPMC is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether.It is widely used as as thickener, protective colloid, stabilizer, suspending aids and water-retention agents in many industrial applications. HPMC TYPES AND SPECIFICATIONS HPMC Appearance: whitish powder. Viscosity specification of MELLUTEL HPMC,mPa.s The standard method for the viscosity measurement of aqueous solutions prescribes the use of the Brookfield RVT or DNJ-1, at 20 °C. Solution concentration of 2% is based on bone-dry material. S:Modification Modification available: S: Surface treatment T: Extended open time G:Anti-sagging A:Anti-slip H:High transparency

HPMC APPLICATION

The application includes but is not limited to the following fields: Tile Adhesive Tile grout,Joints and Crack Fillers Gypsum Manual Plaster Exterior Insulation and Finish System(EIFS) Skim Coat Manual Plaster Self-leveling Compound Detergent Water-borne paint HPMC plays three roles in putty powder: thickening, water retention and construction. Thickening: Cellulose can be thickened to suspend, make the solution uniform up and down, anti-hanging. Water retention: Make putty powder dry slowly, and assist lime-calcium reaction under the action of water. Construction: Cellulose has lubricating effect, which can make putty powder have good workability. Masonry mortar mainly plays the following roles: 1. Enhance adhesion and masonry surface, and can enhance water retention, improve mortar strength. 2. Improve lubricity and plasticity, improve processability, haoshuo production of cellulose ether reinforced mortar, easier to use, save time, improve cost effectiveness. 3. With special high water retention, suitable for super absorbent ceramic tile. There are two major characteristics in the paint industry: 1. Used as thickener, dispersant and stabilizer in coating industry. Good compatibility with water or organic solvents. 2. Used as paint remover, dispersion paint, wall paint, polymerization agent
