Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) are non-ionic cellulose ethers , which are mad e from natural macromolecular material cellulose through a series of chemical processes . H yd roxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) are odorless , tasteless and nontoxic white powder s, which can dissolve in cold water and form transparent viscous solution . They are charact erized by thickening , adhesion , dispersion , emulsification , film formation , suspension , adsor ption , gel-ation , surface activity , water retention and colloid protection .
Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose ether (HPMC) can be used in construction , building mater
ials , coatings,synthetic resins , ceramics , medicine , food, textile , agriculture , cosmetics , toa
cco and other industries .
