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.

Application of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in building mortar and plastering mortar
High water retention can make the cement fully hydrated, significantly increase the bond strength, and appropriately improve the tensile elongation and shear strength, greatly improving the construction effect and working efficiency.
Application of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in water-resistant putty powder
The cellulose ether in the putty powder is mainly used for water retention, bonding and lubrication to avoid cracks and dehydration caused by rapid water loss. At the same time, it enhances the adhesion of the putty, reduces the sagging phenomenon in the construction, and makes the construction more smooth.
Application and function of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in plaster series
In gypsum series products, cellulose ether mainly plays the role of water retention, increasing lubrication, and has a certain retarding effect, which solves the problems of bulging and failure to reach the initial strength in the construction process, and can prolong the working time.
Application of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in interfacial agent
It is mainly used as a thickener, which can improve the tensile strength and shear strength, improve the surface coating, and enhance the adhesion and bonding strength.
Application and function of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in exterior wall thermal insulation mortar
Cellulose ether plays a key role in bonding and increasing strength in this material, which is that sand will be easier to be coated, improve work efficiency, and have anti vertical flow effect at the same time. Higher water retention performance can prolong the working time of mortar, improve shrinkage and cracking resistance, improve surface quality, and improve bonding strength.
Application of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in tile binder
The high water retention can significantly improve the bonding strength of ceramic tiles and bases without soaking or wetting them in advance. The slurry can have long construction cycle, fine, uniform, convenient construction, and good moisture resistance at the same time.
Application and function of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in joint sealant and gutter sealant
The addition of cellulose ether makes it have good edge adhesion, low shrinkage and high wear resistance, which protects the base material from mechanical damage and avoids the impact of penetration on the whole building.
Application of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in self leveling materials
The stable adhesion of cellulose ether ensures good fluidity and self leveling ability. The water retention rate is controlled so that it can solidify rapidly and reduce cracking and shrinkage.
