Delivers outstanding film-forming performance after drying, helping improve surface smoothness, adhesion, moisture retention, and overall product stability in end-use applications.


Features reversible sol-gel transformation during heating and cooling, offering reliable thickening, suspension, emulsification, and temperature-responsive performance in various processing systems.


Available in multiple grades with different methoxy and hydroxypropyl content ratios, allowing customized viscosity and performance to meet diverse industrial requirements.



Product Description of Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose CAS#9004-65-3

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a methyl cellulose ether derivative with specific molecular structure. It is white powdery or granular material supplied in various specifications.

It dissolves in water and partial organic solvents instead of pure ethanol. Its aqueous solution has surface activity and good film-forming ability, and shows reversible thermal sol-gel transition, ideal for thickening, suspending and temperature-sensitive uses.


Product Application of Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose CAS#9004-65-3

As a water-soluble cellulose polymer, HPMC acts as thickener, binder, film-former, water retainer, emulsifier and protective colloid, with thermal gelation property.
It is widely applied in multiple fields: stabilizing food texture and serving as food additives; used for pharmaceutical dispersion, thickening and tablet coating; added into shampoos, skincare and other cosmetic products.
