Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose commonly known as Hypromellose, HPMC, is a versatile non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural polymers like refined cotton or wood pulp through a series of chemical processes. It presents as an odorless, non-toxic, and tasteless white powder. This substance effortlessly dissolves in both hot and cold water, forming a transparent viscous solution with a diverse range of properties, making it highly sought after for various applications.


HPMC boasts exceptional attributes such as excellent thickening, binding, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming, suspending, adsorbing, gelling, surface-active, water retention, and protecting colloid properties. Its widespread usage spans across industries including construction, pharmaceuticals, food, PVC, ceramics, and personal/home care products.


In the construction sector, HPMC serves as a go-to thickener for drymix mortars, tile adhesives, water-based paints, wall putty, and thermal insulation mortar series. Furthermore, it finds application as a pharmaceutical excipient and food ingredient, contributing to the production of PVC, ceramics, and detergents. HPMC is also a common ingredient in textiles, personal care products, and home care items.
