HPMC Uses

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a multifunctional polymer used extensively across various industries due to its unique properties.


Pharmaceutical Industry

Film Coating: Used for coating tablets and capsules to protect the drug from moisture, light, and air, mask unpleasant tastes, and control drug release rates.

Controlled Release Matrix: Forms a gel barrier in matrix tablets for sustained or targeted drug release.

Binder in Granulation: Enhances the mechanical strength and uniformity of tablets.

Thickening and Stabilizing Agent: Used in suspensions and emulsions to improve viscosity and prevent particle settling.

Bioadhesive Agent: Improves adhesion in mucoadhesive drug delivery systems for buccal or sublingual tablets.

Capsule Shells: Used in vegetarian and vegan capsule production, providing stability and non-animal derived alternatives.

Ophthalmic Preparations: Acts as a viscosity enhancer and lubricant in eye drops to relieve dry eyes and irritation.

Bioavailability Enhancement: Improves solubility and absorption of poorly soluble drugs in solid dispersions.


Food Industry

Thickening Agent: Used in sauces, soups, and dressings to achieve desired viscosity and texture.

Stabilizer: Helps maintain the consistency and uniformity of food products.

Emulsifier: Prevents separation of oil and water in products like salad dressings and creams.

Gluten-Free Baking: Provides structure and texture in gluten-free baked goods.


Construction Industry

Cement and Plaster: Improves workability, water retention, and strength of cement-based products.

Tile Adhesives: Enhances adhesion, open time, and workability.

Joint Compounds: Used as a thickener and binder to improve the performance of joint compounds and fillers.


Personal Care and Cosmetics

Thickening Agent: Adds viscosity to lotions, creams, and shampoos.

Film Former: Provides a smooth film on skin or hair, enhancing the feel and appearance of products.

Stabilizer: Ensures the uniformity and stability of cosmetic formulations.


HPMC Uses

Paints and Coatings

Thickening Agent: Adjusts the viscosity of paints for better application and finish.

Stabilizer: Prevents pigment settling and improves storage stability.


Textile Industry

Sizing Agent: Used in textile manufacturing to protect fibers during weaving and improve the strength and smoothness of fabrics.


Detergents and Cleaners

Thickening Agent: Enhances the viscosity of liquid detergents and cleaners, providing better flow and application properties.


Agriculture

Pesticide Formulations: Acts as a binder and stabilizer in pesticide and herbicide formulations, ensuring even application and adherence to plant surfaces.
