Leading HPMC factory and suppliers in China providing high-purity Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose. Available in hot-dissolving type for mortar and putty, and instant-dissolving type for coatings and detergents. Odorless, non-toxic white powder for pharmaceutical and food grade applications.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a high-performance, non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural polymer cellulose through a sophisticated etherification process. As an odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic white powder, HPMC is engineered to swell into a clarified or slightly turbid colloidal solution upon contact with water, making it an indispensable additive across various industrial sectors.
Renowned for its versatile functional properties, HPMC excels in thickening, dispersing, emulsifying, and film-forming. Its exceptional water retention and protective colloid capabilities ensure stability and consistency in complex formulations, providing critical surface activity and structural support for pharmaceutical, food, and daily chemical applications.

Pharmaceutical grade HPMC is primarily used as a hydrophilic gel skeleton material, a pore-causing agent, and a coating agent for the preparation of sustained-release medications.
In food processing, HPMC acts as an adhesion agent, emulsifier, film former, thickener, and water retention agent to improve food texture and shelf-life.
HPMC is widely used as a high-performance additive in toothpaste, cosmetics, and various detergents to provide the necessary viscosity and stability.
Gel temperature (typically 60-70°C) indicates the temperature at which the solution transitions to a gel, which is critical for thermal gelation applications.
Yes, HPMC is a non-ionic, non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless cellulose ether, making it safe for pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications.
We utilize rigorous viscosity measurement platforms and strict quality control testing to ensure every batch meets the specified mPa.s range.
