Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether, appearing as a white to off-white powder. It provides a wide range of functions including thickening, binding, film-forming, surface activity, protective colloid, lubrication, emulsification, suspension and water retention.
In addition, this product features thermal gelation, metabolic inertness, enzyme resistance, low odor and taste, and pH stability. Thanks to its versatile properties, HPMC can be used at low concentrations to replace other additives, offering excellent efficiency in adhesives, construction, food, household products and pharmaceutical industries.

Tile Adhesives Easy to mix with water without lumps, high water retention extends drying time and improves adhesion and anti-sag performance. | Cement Plaster Improves uniformity, spreadability and anti-sag. High water retention extends working time and improves mechanical strength. |
Masonry Mortar Increases bonding strength, improves lubricity and plasticity for easier application. | Crack Fillers Excellent water retention and high lubricity improve construction efficiency, shrinkage resistance and crack resistance. |
Gypsum Products Improves uniformity, anti-sag and water retention, maintaining consistent consistency and good surface. | Self-leveling Flooring Viscosity provides anti-settling effect, enhancing flow and pumpability, greatly reducing cracks and shrinkage. |
Water-based Coatings Suspension prevents solids settling, prolongs shelf life, improves flow and low-splash properties with fine surface. | Paint Strippers Increases viscosity, prevents exceeding working range, helps products dissolve quickly without lumps. |
7 Multi-functions in one (thickening, binding, film-forming, emulsification, suspension, water retention) | Low Effective at low concentrations, replacing multiple additives | 100% pH stable, enzyme resistant, metabolic inert & non-ionic |
