Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose(HPMC)

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)  is created by modifying cellulose through a chemical process that involves propylene oxide and methyl chloride. HPMC possesses unique properties that make it highly valuable in different applications. It is a non-ionic polymer, soluble in water, and can form transparent gels when dispersed in hot water. HPMC exhibits excellent film-forming properties, adhesion, and thickening abilities. It also has a high degree of compatibility with other substances, making it a versatile ingredient in formulations.
