AnxinCel® HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) is a widely used chemical that is a type of cellulose ether and has been widely used in many industrial fields due to its excellent properties.
1. Building materials
HPMC is widely used in the construction industry. It is usually used as a thickener and water-retaining agent for cement-based composite materials (such as dry mortar, tile adhesive, etc.). HPMC can significantly improve the consistency and construction performance of the slurry, while also effectively extending the opening time and preventing the material from drying out during the construction process. Due to its good flowability and workability, HPMC is able to improve the adhesion and strength of the slurry, thereby improving the overall performance of the building material.
2. Food industry
In food processing, HPMC is used as a thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier. It can improve the texture and taste of food and is commonly used in sauces, ice cream, condiments and other products. In addition, HPMC is used as a vegetarian alternative as a gum component of non-animal origin.
3. Pharmaceutical industry
HPMC is a very important ingredient in the pharmaceutical industry and is often used in the preparation of pharmaceutical capsules, tablets and sustained-release preparations. As a thickener and binder, it can effectively control the release rate of drugs and improve the bioavailability of drugs. In addition, HPMC is also used in the pharmaceutical industry to prepare ophthalmic preparations, oral preparations, etc.
4. Cosmetics and personal care products
HPMC is also widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. It acts as a thickener and stabilizer to improve the viscosity and spreadability of products. Commonly found in products such as lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and facial creams, HPMC can improve the texture and moisturizing properties of products.
5. Paper and textiles
In the production of paper and textiles, HPMC is used as a coating and treatment agent. It can increase the strength and smoothness of paper and improve printing performance. In the textile industry, HPMC is often used as a finishing agent, which can improve the softness and wrinkle resistance of fibers and improve the appearance and feel of fabrics.
6. Daily chemicals
HPMC is also used in detergents and detergents as a thickener and surfactant to improve cleaning performance. It can also be used as a dispersant to improve the dispersion and stability of particles in liquids.
7. Electronics industry
In the production of electronic products, HPMC is used in the manufacturing process of batteries and circuit boards as an adhesive and thickener to improve the strength and durability of materials.
8. Other applications
In addition to the above applications, HPMC can also be used in agriculture, paints and coatings and other fields. It acts as a thickener and emulsifier to improve product performance and quality.
AnxinCel® HPMC is a multifunctional chemical widely used in construction, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paper, textiles, daily chemicals, electronics and many other industries. Its excellent physical and chemical properties, such as good thickening, stability and biocompatibility, make it play an important role in various fields. As technology advances and market demands continue to change, the application scope of HPMC may further expand.
