High Performance HPMC Cellulose Ether for Construction and Cosmetics
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a high-performance non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural polymer materials. Engineered for versatility, our HPMC is categorized into two primary types based on dissolving properties: Instant Dissolving and Hot Dissolving. These variants allow manufacturers to optimize their formulations for everything from high-end personal care products to heavy-duty construction materials, serving as critical thickeners, emulsifiers, and water-retention agents.
Whether you are seeking a high-permeability agent for liquid detergents or a professional-grade additive to prevent cracking in wall putty and tile adhesives, our HPMC ensures superior stability and workability. By balancing purity and viscosity, we provide industrial-grade solutions that enhance the structural integrity of mortars and the sensory quality of cosmetic formulations.

|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Functions | Thickener, Emulsifier, Water Retention | Viscosity Gain | Rapid development within 30-60 mins |
| Physical State | Fine White Powder | Permeability | High permeability (Instant type) |
| Main Application | Construction, Detergents, Ceramics | Stability | No stains after multi-week storage |
| Purity Indicator | High density / Smooth fluidity | Chemical Nature | Non-ionic Cellulose Ether |
Key Advantages
Anti-Cracking
Specifically formulated for wall putty and mortars to prevent shrinking and cracking during the drying process.
Open Time Extension
Prolongs the open time of construction adhesives, ensuring better adjustability and application efficiency.
High Purity
Low ash ratio (under 5%) ensures a cleaner finish and higher chemical stability across all applications.
Anti-Drooping
Enhances the thixotropy of slurries and mortars, providing excellent anti-sagging properties for vertical surfaces.
Visual Clarity
Instant dissolving type provides high permeability and transparency for soaps and shampoos.
Workability
Significantly improves the smoothness and ease of application for spray gun slurries and tile grouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Instant dissolving HPMC can be mixed into water at room temperature and is ideal for detergents and cosmetics. Hot dissolving HPMC requires water above 60℃ and is primarily used in construction and ceramics for water retention.
You can use three methods: 1. Burning test (lower ash residue means higher purity), 2. Weighing test (higher density indicates higher purity), and 3. Fluidity test (smoother flow in a jar indicates better quality).
Hot dissolving HPMC is recommended for these applications as it provides essential water retention, prolongs open time, and ensures anti-drooping and anti-cracking properties.
Yes, the instant dissolving type of HPMC is widely used in shampoo, liquid soap, and toothpaste as a thickener, emulsifier, and film-forming agent.
Yes, we provide free samples from different batches to help you verify quality stability. The buyer is responsible for the air shipping costs.
HPMC improves the binding properties and water retention of the putty, which reduces shrinkage and prevents the finished wall from powdering over time.
