    Product Description

    Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether made from refined natural cellulose through methylation and hydroxypropylation. It provides excellent thickening, water retention, lubrication, film-forming, and dispersion performance, making it widely used in dry-mix mortars, coatings, pharmaceuticals, food, and personal care. IndustroChem supplies consistent-quality HPMC with multiple viscosity and substitution grades for different industries.

    Applications

    1) Construction & Dry-Mix Mortars

    • Tile adhesive / tile grout
    • Wall putty & skim coat
    • Self-leveling compounds
    • Cement-based plaster & renders
    • EIFS / ETICS insulation mortars
    • Gypsum-based products
      Benefits: thickening, anti-sagging, water retention, improved workability, longer open time, better bonding strength.

    2) Pharmaceutical & Healthcare

    • Tablet binder and disintegrant control
    • Film coating and controlled-release matrix
    • Capsule shells (vegetarian)
    • Ophthalmic and topical gels
      Benefits: safe excipient, stable viscosity, film-forming, controlled release.

    3) Food Industry

    • Thickener and stabilizer for sauces, dairy, beverages
    • Emulsion stabilizer
    • Fat replacer in low-calorie foods
      Benefits: improves texture, mouthfeel, and shelf stability.

    4) Personal Care & Household

    • Shampoos, lotions, creams, toothpaste
    • Detergents and cleaning gels
      Benefits: thickening, suspension stability, smooth feel.

    Storage Conditions

    Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep bags tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, and proximity to heat sources. Under proper storage, shelf life is typically 24 months.

    Safety Precautions

    HPMC is generally regarded as a safe, non-toxic polymer for industrial and regulated uses when handled correctly.

    Dispose of according to local regulations.

    Avoid creating dust clouds; use local exhaust ventilation where possible.

    Wear basic PPE: dust mask/respirator, gloves, and safety goggles.

    In case of eye contact: rinse with clean water for several minutes.

    In case of inhalation discomfort: move to fresh air.

    Keep away from open flames; fine powder may present dust-combustion risk in extreme conditions.
