Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose hpmc
PH
The growing use of MHEC across a range of sectors is expected to propel the market's growth. Construction (mortars and adhesives), personal care (creams and lotions with thickening agents), medicines (controlled-release drug delivery), paints and coatings (film-forming and thickening qualities), and food and drink (stabilizers and thickeners) are a few examples of these. The expansion of the market is mostly driven by this industry diversification.
MHEC powder exhibits a fibrous appearance, presenting as a white to off-white, odorless powder. It possesses a notably high molecular weight and displays hygroscopic properties, readily absorbing water to form viscous solutions or gels. The solubility of MHEC varies contingent upon the degree of substitution (DS) and molecular weight.
