- In the construction industry, HPMC is primarily used as a thickening agent in cement-based products such as mortar, grouts, and renders. It helps to improve workability, increase water retention, and enhance bond strength. Additionally, HPMC can improve the durability and resistance to cracking of the final product, making it a popular choice for construction projects.
Why you should look for products with HPMC
Discoloration temperature: 190-200 ℃
Methyl cellulose is a water-soluble polymer made from cellulose. It is used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer in food and cosmetics. Methyl cellulose is created when cellulose is treated with hydrochloric acid. The end result is a substance that is white, odorless, and tasteless. It has a wide range of uses, including as a thickener (as a substitute for cornstarch), a stabilizer (to prevent ingredients from separating or settling), a binding agent (to hold ingredients together), or an emulsifier (to blend two substances that don’t dissolve well in each other).


Pharmaceuticals:

Due to its water solubility, HPMC gel is often used in the formulation of sunscreen products to enhance their water resistance and overall performance.
Verwendung
HPMC is vegan and vegetarian friendly. Nobody really wants to swallow a capsule made from boiled cow bones if they have a choice, so gelatin capsules have become unpopular with educated consumers. HPMC has no natural taste, smell or colour, although many capsules will have colours added. Most people find HPMC easy to swallow. It also dissolves in the stomach quite quickly, often in just 5-10 minutes. Bovine gelatin capsules take longer to dissolve at more like 20 minutes. Tablets can take hours to dissolve completely. This makes HPMC capsules an ideal delivery method for most supplements, where we want the powdered vitamin or mineral content to arrive quickly and comfortably into the users stomach.
