Description
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, commonly known as HPMC for short, is a versatile and widely used chemical ingredient derived from cellulose, which is the main structural component of plants. It is a type of cellulose ether commonly used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, detergents, personal care, food, and building materials.
HPMC is a white or yellowish, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic powder that is soluble in cold water. It can efficiently help to form gels, thicken solutions, and stabilize surfactant emulsions, making it a valuable addition to many detergents and personal care products, such as laundry detergent liquid, dishwashing liquid, shampoos, body wash, and lotion.
Features & Benefits:
- Solubility: HPMC is highly soluble in cold water and can form gels, making it suitable for use in a wide range of products.
- Thickening and stabilizing: HPMC is able to thicken and stabilize solutions, emulsions, and suspensions, making it useful in products such as detergents, personal care products, and cosmetics.
- Film-forming: HPMC can form films when applied to surfaces, making it useful as a protective coating or film-forming agent in a variety of products.
- Non-toxic: HPMC is generally considered to be non-toxic and safe for use in a variety of products.
- Non-irritant: HPMC is generally non-irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, making it suitable for use in personal care products and pharmaceuticals.
- pH-stable: HPMC is stable over a wide range of pH values, making it suitable for use in products with varying pH levels.
- Shelf-stable: HPMC is stable over a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels, making it suitable for use in products with a long shelf life.
- Versatility: HPMC has a wide range of applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and building materials, making it a highly versatile ingredient.
