- In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC 4000 serves as an excipient, playing roles such as a binder, disintegrant, and coating agent in tablets. It also finds use in the formulation of syrups, ointments, and eye drops due to its solubility and gel-forming properties. Its non-toxicity and inertness make it safe for human consumption.
- In the food industry, HEC is used as a thickener and stabilizer in a variety of products, including soups, sauces, and dressings. Its water solubility and non-toxic nature make it a safe and effective additive for food applications. HEC is also used in the production of ice cream to improve texture and prevent ice crystal formation.
- 4. Grout HPMC can be added to grout to improve its workability, reduce cracking, and increase water resistance.
- Manufacturers are under constant pressure to improve their products while keeping costs competitive. This has led to a focus on research and development, aiming to create polymer powders with enhanced properties such as better adhesion, flexibility, and reduced water absorption. The race is on to formulate powders that not only meet but exceed industry standards.
Application: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can be used in coatings, ceramics, printing inks, plastics. HPMC has construction grade, food grade, and pharmaceutical grade according to the application. The construction industry is the most widely used application for MELACOLL hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
