Products for Home Care

We supply a comprehensive range of cellulose ethers for the home care industry. Our product portfolio includes key types such as Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), and Methyl Cellulose (MC). These high-purity, multi-functional polymers are essential ingredients for formulating a wide array of household cleaning and maintenance products.

HEC for Home Care Applications

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a key cellulose ether in home care formulations, valued for its efficient thickening, stabilizing, and water-retention properties.

In liquid soaps, detergents, and cleaners, HPMC provides ideal viscosity for easy dispensing and superior cling on vertical surfaces. It stabilizes emulsions in polishing products and prevents ingredient separation. As a film-former, it creates protective barriers in floor polishes and certain maintenance products. HPMC’s compatibility with various ingredients, consistent performance, and ability to enhance product texture make it a reliable choice for effective and user-friendly home care solutions.

HPMC for Home Care Applications

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a versatile, non-ionic cellulose ether widely used in personal care formulations. It primarily functions as a thickener, film-former, and stabilizer.

HPMC is valued for creating smooth, luxurious textures in products like creams, lotions, and hair gels. It provides excellent viscosity control and enhances the stability of emulsions. In leave-on products, it forms a soft, flexible film that improves moisture retention without a greasy feel. HPMC is also used in cleansing products​ and toothpaste​ to adjust rheology. Its compatibility with a wide range of ingredients, clarity in solution, and non-irritating nature make it a reliable choice for diverse formulations.
