（3）Chemical property：
It is used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, enhancing texture and mouthfeel in products like jams, jellies, and ice cream It is used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, enhancing texture and mouthfeel in products like jams, jellies, and ice creamuses of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Furthermore, it is employed as a fat substitute, contributing to healthier food options without compromising on taste or texture.
They can be added to a wide range of formulations, including plaster, stucco, and tile adhesives, without affecting the viscosity or flow properties of the mixture They can be added to a wide range of formulations, including plaster, stucco, and tile adhesives, without affecting the viscosity or flow properties of the mixtureredispersible polymer powder. This makes it easier to achieve the desired consistency and application characteristics, leading to improved work efficiency and reduced labor costs.

As a tile adhesive, HPMC increases adhesion strength, making it ideal for floors and walls subjected to heavy loads or constant movement As a tile adhesive, HPMC increases adhesion strength, making it ideal for floors and walls subjected to heavy loads or constant movementhpmc for construction.
Solubility: HPMC is practically insoluble in absolute ethanol, ether, and acetone. HPMC is soluble in cold water and insoluble in hot water. HPMC will get gel when the temperature is up to 55-75. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose after gelation is like jelly. This gel is related to methoxy content.
In the UK it was submitted by Dow (who manufacture HPMC for the global food market) for approval to the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes in November 2011.
mhec-methhyl hydroxyethyl cellulose. Being derived from renewable resources like wood pulp, MHEC is biodegradable and does not accumulate in the environment. This feature positions MHEC as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers in many applications.
Residues of cellulose and breakdown products in edible tissues and products from animals fed HPMC are not expected. Although the (partial) degradation of HPMC would eventually occur in some species (ruminants, hindgut fermenters), breakdown products would still likely be of high molecular weight and poorly or not absorbed; the short-chain fatty acids resulting from microbial breakdown of cellulose in the rumen or hindgut will enter the physiological pools of the animals. The consumer would therefore not be exposed to the additive or derived products when consuming edible tissues and products from animals given diets containing HPMC. Consequently, the FEEDAP Panel concludes that the use of HPMC in animal nutrition is of no concern for consumer safety.
