HPMC is made by natural high polymer cellulose. It's odorless, tasteless and non-toxic white powder, which can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution.Dissolved in water and some organic solvent such as ethanol. propyl alcohol. ethylene chloride, the water solution is of surface activity. It is a nonionic surface active agent.Gelation temperature is different for different grades.
Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC has good thickening, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming properties, etc. It is the first choice for production of high quality building materials additives.
In building materials, the addition amount of HPMC is very low, only 0.1%-1%, but it plays an irreplaceable role.
