HPMC vs Methylcellulose: Concepts, Differences

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose(HPMC)

CAS NO.:9004-65-3

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) are non-ionic cellulose ether & its derivatives  that have hyrdroxyl groups on the cellulose chain substituted for a methoxy or hydroxypropyl group. HPMC is made from natural cotton linter under chemical reaction,which can be dissolved in both cold water and hot water to form a transparent solution. HPMC is used as a thickener, binder, and film former in construction, pharmaceutical,food, cosmetic, detergent, paints, adhesives, inks, PVC and various other applications.

Chemical Specification

Pharma Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC):

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) Pharmaceutical Grade is Hypromellose pharmaceutical excipient and supplement,which can be used as thickener, dispersant, emulsifier and film-forming agent. As tablet coating and binder, it can improve the dissolution rate of drugs. HPMC products are derived from natural refined cotton linter and wood pulp, meeting all the requirements of the USP, EP, JP, along with Kosher and Halal Certifications.Pharmaceutical grade HPMC is in compliance with FDA, EU and FAO/WHO guidelines, and is manufactured in accordance with GMP standard, retaining ISO9001 and ISO14001 certifications as well.

HPMC comes in diverse viscosity ranges from 3 to 200,000 cps, and it can be widely used for tablet coating, granulation, binder, thickener, stabilizer and making vegetable HPMC capsule.

Construction Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC):

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) Construction Grade are widely used in Tile adhesives, dry mixed mortar, wall putty, Skim coat,joint filler, self-levelling , cement and gypsum based plaster etc.We can provide both non-modified grade and modified grade HPMC, which has long open time, good water retention, excellent workability and Good slipping resistance etc.

Detergent Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC): 

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) Detergent Grade is surface treated through unique production process ,it can provide high viscosity with fast disperse and delayed solution. Detergent grade HPMC can be dissolved in cold water quickly and increase excellent thickening effect.  

Food Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC):

Food Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic water soluble cellulose ether Hypromellose, targeted for the food and dietary supplement applications.

Food grade HPMC products are derived from natural cotton linter and wood pulp, meeting all the requirements of E464 along with Kosher and Halal Certifications.

Food grade HPMC is in compliance with FDA, EU and FAO/WHO guidelines, is manufactured in compliance with GMP standard, retaining FSSC22000 , ISO9001 and ISO14001 certifications .
