Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is derived from cellulose by treating it with propylene oxide and methyl chloride. This modification introduces hydroxypropyl and methyl groups into the cellulose backbone. It is soluble in cold water and form a viscous solution. HPMC is a multifunctional polymer that has been widely used in various industries due to its excellent thickening, stabilizing and film forming properties.
