Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. It is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, food and personal care products, and a wide variety of industrial applications. It is a white, odorless, tasteless powder, which is highly soluble in cold water and forms a gel when heated. HPMC is used as a binder, thickener, emulsifier, film former, and suspending agent, and can be used to replace gelatin in many applications.
HPMC is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for its non-toxicity and low irritation potential. It is used in tablet and capsule formulations to improve dissolution rate, increase bioavailability, and reduce tablet breakage. It is also used in topical creams, lotions, and gels to increase viscosity, enhance spreadability, and control drug release.
HPMC is also widely used in the food industry as an emulsifier and thickening agent. It is used in frozen desserts, dairy products, sauces, gravies, and canned fruits and vegetables. It is also used in baking as a dough conditioner and in the production of non-dairy creamers. Additionally, HPMC is used in paints, adhesives, and paper coating.
