Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a high-performance, water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer on earth. The YOUNGCEL series HPMC is engineered to provide exceptional versatility, available in low, medium, and high viscosity grades to meet the rigorous demands of both construction-grade applications and detergent-grade formulations, forming clear, stable, and transparent solutions upon hydration.
Designed for industrial excellence, our HPMC is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and serves as a powerful protective colloid. Through advanced chemical processing, it delivers a comprehensive suite of functional properties, including superior thickening, adhesion, dispersion, and emulsification. Whether used as a moisture-retaining agent in mortars or a thickening agent for transparent cleaning gels, YOUNGCEL HPMC ensures optimal stability and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Construction grade is optimized for water retention and open time in mortars and adhesives, while detergent grade is engineered for high transparency and specific thickening properties in liquid soaps and cleaning gels.
HPMC acts as a water-retaining agent, preventing the adhesive from drying too quickly, which reduces shrinkage and enhances the bond strength between the tile and the substrate.
Yes, our detergent-grade HPMC is non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless, making it an ideal thickener for personal care products like shampoos, soap liquids, and hand sanitizers.
The choice depends on the required thickness of the final product. Low viscosity is often used for thin coatings, while high viscosity is preferred for heavy-duty mortars or thick cleaning gels. Please contact our technical team for a recommendation.
For optimal results, HPMC should be added slowly to the water under constant agitation to prevent the formation of lumps, allowing the polymer to hydrate uniformly.
The CAS number for our Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose is 9004-65-3, ensuring it meets international chemical identification and safety standards.
