Why you should look for products with HPMC

Answer: hot water solution method: because HPMC is not dissolved in hot water, so the initial HPMC can be evenly dispersed in hot water, then quickly dissolved when cooling, two typical methods are described as follows:
1) Put the required amount of hot water in the container and heat it to about 70℃. Under the slow stirring gradually add hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, HPMC began to float on the surface of the water, and then gradually form a slurry, the slurry cooling under the stirring.
2) Add 1/3 or 2/3 of the required amount of water into the container, and heat to 70℃, according to the method of 1), disperse HPMC, prepare hot water slurry; Then add the remaining amount of cold water to the hot slurry, stirring and cooling the mixture.
Powder mixing method: HPMC powder and a large number of other powdery material ingredients, mixing fully with a blender, then add water to dissolve, HPMC at this time can dissolve, and do not stick together, because each small corner, only a little bit of HPMC powder, water will dissolve immediately. - Putty powder and mortar production enterprises are using this method. [Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is used as thickening agent and water retaining agent in putty mortar.]

（2）Physical property：

As soon as a product is labeled as vegetarian or vegan, consumers immediately get the impression that there’s something inherently good or natural about it, or that it’s somehow better for their health. However, the recent discussions about vegetarian meat substitutes have shown that this is not necessarily true. Such is the case for HPMC hard capsules. They’re vegan, made from cellulose fiber and therefore regarded as natural.

Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) ist eine mit Propylenoxid substituierte Methylcellulose. Sie kommt in verschiedenen Polymerisationsgraden und unterschiedlichen Substitutionsgraden auf den Markt.
