Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (INN) (Hypromellose), also known as hydroxypropyl methylCELLULOSE (HPMC), is a variety of non-ionic cellulose compound ether. It is a semi-synthetic, inactive, viscoelastic polymer, commonly used in ophthalmology as a lubricant, or as an excipient or excipient in oral medicine, and is commonly found in a variety of commodities. As a food additive, HPMC can play the following roles: emulsifier, thickener, suspension and substitute for animal gelatin.
Use:Construction industry: as cement mortar water retention agent, retarder to make mortar pump. In plastering, gypsum, putty powder or other building materials as adhesives, improve the daub and extend the operating time. Use as stickup ceramic tile, marble, plastic adornment, stickup aggrandizement agent, still can reduce cement dosage. HPMC water retention performance so that paste in the application will not dry too fast and crack, enhance the strength after hardening.
Ceramic manufacturing: widely used as adhesives in ceramic product manufacturing.
Coating industry: as a thickening agent, dispersant and stabilizer in coating industry, have good compatibility in water or organic solvent. As a paint remover.
Ink printing: in the ink industry as a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer, in water or organic solvents are good compatibility.
Plastic: used as mold release agent, softener, lubricant, etc.
PVC: PVC production as dispersant, suspension polymerization of PVC preparation of the main additives.
Others: this product is also widely used in leather, paper products, fresh fruits and vegetables and textile industries
Pharmaceutical industry: coating materials; Membrane material; Rate-controlling polymer materials for sustained-release preparations; Stabilizing agent; Suspended aid; Tablet binder; Increases the goo
