If you look into our products, sooner or later you are bound to come across the word hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, or HPMC for short. But what does HPMC mean?
Each grade of HPMC is carefully manufactured to balance between solubility, viscosity, and stability. The percentage of hydroxypropylation, which affects these properties, varies accordingly. A higher percentage usually results in better water solubility and lower viscosity, while a lower percentage yields a more viscous product with slower hydration.In conclusion, HPMC is a valuable polymer with a wide range of applications, thanks in part to its viscosity properties. By selecting the right grade of HPMC based on viscosity, manufacturers can optimize the performance of their products and achieve the desired results.**ApplicationsSelf-leveling compounds:
2. Expanding Application in Food Industry HPMC is also used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer in the food industry. The increasing demand for processed foods and the rising consumer awareness of healthy eating habits are expected to drive the demand for HPMC in the food industry.
