The Diverse applications of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose/HPMC!

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose is a synthetic chemical compound obtained from natural cellulose fibers through a series of chemical treatments.HPMC is widely used in construction, coatings, medicine, food and personal care and other fields.

1. Thickening agent and gelling agent: HPMC cellulose forms a colloidal solution in water, which can be used as a thickening agent and gelling agent and is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other fields.

2. Suspension agent: HPMC cellulose has good suspending ability in liquids, so it is often used to prepare suspended liquid drugs, such as oral liquid pharmaceuticals.

3. Film-forming agent: HPMC cellulose can form a soft film and is often used to prepare coating materials for tablets to improve the release rate and stability of the drug.

4. Moisturizer: Due to its hydrophilicity, HPMC cellulose can form a moisturizing film on the skin and is widely used in cosmetics, such as facial creams, lotions, etc.

5. Building materials: HPMC cellulose is used as a mortar and cement additive to improve the material's adhesion, ductility and water resistance.
