HPMC Detergent Grade Applications and Benefits for Cleaning Products and Formulations
One of the primary applications of MHEC in the pharmaceutical industry is as a binder in tablet formulations. Tablets are a popular dosage form due to their convenience and ease of administration. MHEC acts as a binder by providing cohesion and adhesion to the tablet ingredients, ensuring that the tablet maintains its shape and integrity. This is particularly important for tablets that are intended to be swallowed whole, as they need to withstand the forces exerted during swallowing.
In the construction industry, MHEC finds extensive use in formulations of cement-based products. It enhances workability, water retention, and adhesive properties of mortars and renders. MHEC-modified products result in improved cohesion, reduced cracking, and enhanced durability of structures.
