Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)

HPMC is a multifunctional cellulose ether widely used in construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. In construction, it acts as a thickener, water-retention agent, and binder in tile adhesives, cement renders, and gypsum-based plasters. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a coating agent, binder, and controlled-release matrix in tablets. HPMC also enhances viscosity and stability in cosmetics, detergents, and food products. Its excellent film-forming, thermal gelation, and solubility properties make it a versatile additive across industries.
