Exploring the Applications and Benefits of HPMC 150000 CPS in Modern Formulations
MHEC powder is harnessed for personal care and cosmetic products due to its outstanding thickening, stabilizing, and moisturizing attributes. It features prominently in creams, lotions, shampoos, toothpaste, and gels, functioning as a rheology modifier. This enhances product consistency and ensures the even dispersion of active ingredients.
The general chemical structure of MHEC is presented in Fig. 2. According to supplier information, the sample employed in the study exhibited a degree of substitution relative to methylation (DS value) of 1.81, and a molar degree of substitution relative to hydroxyethylation (MS) of 0.15. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis produced molar masses of 2.48·105 g/mol (Mw) and of 1.74·105 g/mol (Mn), respectively (Table 2). Using the GPC method, a hydrodynamic radius Rh(z) of 31.0 nm and a
