Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

HPMC-K100M (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose K100M) is a versatile, semi-synthetic polymer derived from cellulose, widely recognized for its multifunctional properties across diverse industries. As a non-ionic cellulose ether, it serves as a critical additive in food, pharmaceuticals, construction, and personal care formulations.

In the food industry, HPMC-K100M acts as a high-performance thickening and stabilizing agent. It imparts a smooth, creamy texture to sauces, dressings, and desserts while preventing ingredient separation and extending shelf life. Its unique gelling capability makes it an ideal plant-based alternative to animal-derived gelatin, catering to vegan and vegetarian product demands.

For pharmaceutical applications, HPMC-K100M is a cornerstone excipient in tablet manufacturing. It ensures structural integrity as a binder and enables controlled drug release, optimizing therapeutic efficacy for sustained-release formulations. This property is particularly advantageous for medications requiring gradual absorption in the body.

The construction sector leverages HPMC-K100M as a key additive in cement-based products such as tile adhesives and grouts. It enhances workability, reduces cracking risks, and improves water retention, ensuring proper curing of materials even under harsh conditions.In addition, HPMC-K100M can also be used in the honeycomb ceramic industry. HPMC-K100M can help ceramic powders bond and form, provide good plasticity for ceramic green bodies, provide good water retention and wettability, help honeycomb ceramics extrusion molding and shape retention, reduce cracking during ceramic sintering, and improve the strength of finished ceramic product

In personal care and cosmetics, HPMC-K100M excels as a film-forming agent. It creates a protective barrier on skin or hair, locking in moisture and enhancing product texture. Commonly found in moisturizers, shampoos, and styling gels, it stabilizes emulsions and boosts viscosity for superior formulation consistency.

With its non-toxic, biodegradable nature and adaptability, HPMC-K100M stands out as a sustainable solution for industrial and consumer applications. Its ability to address diverse functional needs—from texture enhancement to controlled release—positions it as an indispensable ingredient for innovative, high-quality products worldwide.

Storage: HPMC should be stored in a dry environment, avoid moisture and rain, and avoid contact with strong acids, strong alkalis and other chemicals to prevent chemical reactions that affect its quality.
