Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is also named as MHPC, are types of non-ionic cellulose ether, which are a powder of white to off-white color, that function as a thickener, binder, film-former, surfactant, protective colloid, lubricant, emulsifier, and suspension and water retention aid. In addition, these types of cellulose ethers exhibit properties of thermal gelation, metabolic inertness, enzyme resistance, low odor and taste, and pH stability. HPMC are widely used in construction,pharmaceutical,food,cosmetic,detergent,paints,textiles etc.We can provide the general grade HPMC, we also designed the modified HPMC according to customer requirements. After modified, we can get the product which have long open time, good anti-sagging,good workability etc.

1. HPMC may serve as thickening agent, dispersant agent, emulsifying agent or film-forming agent, and its industrialized products may be applicable to the production of daily chemicals, synthetic resin, construction and coating materials.

1) Suspension polymerization

It is applicable to the production of following productions in the recipe of construction materials.

1. Construction industry: As a water retention agent and retarder for cement mortar, the mortar has pumpability. Used as a binder in plastering plaster, gypsum material, putty powder or other building materials to improve the spreadability and extend the operating time. It can be used to paste ceramic tiles, marble, plastic decoration, paste enhancer, and can also reduce the amount of cement. HPMC's water-retaining properties prevent the slurry from cracking because it dries too quickly after application, enhancing the strength after hardening.
2. Ceramic manufacturing industry: widely used as a binder in the manufacture of ceramic products.
3. Coating industry: As a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer in the coating industry, it has good compatibility in water or organic solvents. As a paint remover.
4. Ink printing: as thickener, dispersant and stabilizer in the ink industry, it has good compatibility in water or organic solvents.
5. Plastic: used as a mold release agent, softener, lubricant, etc.
6. Polyvinyl chloride: It is used as a dispersant in the production of polyvinyl chloride, and is the main auxiliary for the preparation of PVC by suspension polymerization.
7. Other: This product is also widely used in leather, paper products industry, fruit and vegetable preservation and textile industry.
8. Pharmaceutical industry: coating materials; film materials; speed-controlling polymer materials for sustained-release preparations; stabilizers; suspending agents; tablet binders; tackifiers
