Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose

HPMC is a water-soluble ether, with thermal gelation properties, which has excellent cold-water soluble and hot water insoluble properties, It is a non-ionic cellulose ether mixture, the solution of non-ionic charges, which can`t react with metal salts or ionic compounds. It has PH stability, strong enzyme resistance and metabolic inertia; also has a good dispersion, emulsification, thickening, adhesion, water retention and protective colloid properties, so they are which is widely used in construction, paint, synthetic resin , ceramics, tobacco, textile, daily chemical, petrochemical and electronics industries.

The main purpose:

1. Construction industry: As a water retention agent for cement sand slurry, the retarder makes the slurry pumpable. Used as a binder in plasters, gypsums, putty powders or other building materials to improve spreadability and extend maneuverability. Used as a paste tile, marble, plastic decoration, paste enhancer, can also reduce the amount of cement. The water retention of HPMC enables the slurry to not crack too quickly after application, and enhances the strength after hardening.

2. Ceramic manufacturing: widely used as a binder in the manufacture of ceramic products.

3. Coatings industry: As a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer in the coatings industry, it has good compatibility in water or organic solvents. Can be used as a paint remover.

4. Ink printing: as a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer in the ink industry, it has good compatibility in water or organic solvent.

5. Plastic: as a mold release agent, softener, lubricant, etc.

6. Polyvinyl chloride: As a dispersant in the production of polyvinyl chloride, it is the main auxiliary agent for the preparation of PVC by suspension polymerization.

7. Other: This product is also widely used in leather, paper products, fruit and vegetable preservation and textile industry.
