Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose: Ideal for Food and Pharmaceutical Use CAS9004-65-3
| Chemical name: Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Alias: HPMC, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose CAS number: 9004-65-3 Molecular formula: (C6H12O5)n (depending on the degree of substitution) Appearance: White to off-white powder Solubility: Soluble in cold water to form a transparent or slightly milky colloidal solution, insoluble in hot water and most organic solvents. The solution will gel at high temperatures (about 50°C or above) and return to liquid after cooling. |
Thickening and suspension:
Forming high viscosity colloids in liquids to suspend solid particles (such as coatings, pesticide suspensions).
Bonding and film-forming:
Used as an adhesive for tablet compression, or forming flexible films (such as capsule shells, coating materials).
Water retention and sustained release:
Delaying water evaporation in building materials (such as cement mortar), or controlling the release of active ingredients in drugs.
Thermoreversible gel:
High temperature gelation properties are used in food processing (such as jelly, plant protein substitutes).
Stability:
Acid and salt resistance, wide pH range
Pharmaceutical industry
Tablets/capsules: as binders, disintegrants or sustained-release matrices.
Eye drops/gels: thickening and lubrication (such as artificial tears).
Topical preparations: film formers for ointments or patches.
Food industry
Thickening and stabilizing agents: used in dairy products, sauces, ice cream, etc.
Plant protein substitutes: simulate meat texture (such as vegetarian burgers).
Baked goods: delay starch aging and extend shelf life.
Building materials industry
Dry-mixed mortar: improve construction and water retention (tile adhesive, putty powder).
Gypsum products: reduce cracking and increase strength.
Daily chemicals and coatings
Shampoo/shower gel: thickening and stabilizing foam.
Water-based coatings: improve leveling and storage stability.
Other fields
Ceramic industry: as binders and suspending agents.
Agriculture: pesticide controlled release carrier.
