- Moreover, HEC is a key ingredient in food products, primarily used as a food gum to modify texture and improve mouthfeel. It is also used as a fat substitute, contributing to the development of low-fat and low-calorie products.
- 4. Emulsion Stabilizer In latex paints, HEC is used as an emulsion stabilizer. It helps to maintain the stability of the latex particles, ensuring that the paint remains uniformly dispersed and does not separate during storage or application.


Answer: HPMC cold water instant type is after glyoxal surface treatment, in cold water quickly dispersed, but not the real dissolution, viscosity is dissolved. The hot soluble type has not been surface treated with glyoxal. The amount of glyoxal is large, the dispersion is fast, but the viscosity is slow, the amount is small, the opposite.
Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose can be used alone in the cold drink, also can be used with other emulsifier, stabilizer. To cold drink, the maximum amount is 1%. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and other water-soluble high weight compounds use mixture, become transparent, higher viscosity. The gelation temperature of low viscosity products is higher than high viscosity of products. Its solution is stable at room temperature. In recent years, It has been widely used in petroleum chemical industry, papermaking, leather, textile printing and dyeing, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and other industries, and as the dispersing agent, thickening agent, adhesive, excipient, capsule, oil resistant coating and packing etc.

hydroxyethyl cellulose thickening mechanism. Additionally, HEC solutions are temperature-dependent, with higher temperatures leading to a decrease in viscosity due to the weakening of hydrogen bonds between the polymer chains.


The following conclusions apply only to HPMC meeting the food additive specifications.
HPMC-Kapseln sind nicht magensaftresistent, das bedeutet, sie lösen sich bereits im Magen auf und geben so die Inhaltsstoffe frei.
Magensaftresistente Kapseln können zwar ebenfalls aus HPMC bestehen, sie sind aber zusätzlich noch mit synthetischen Stoffen überzogen, die der Magensäure standhalten. Die Idee hinter solchen Kapseln ist, dass sie sich im Dünn- bzw. Dickdarm auflösen und dort erst die Inhaltsstoffe freigeben. Dies ist dann sinnvoll, wenn bspw. das saure Milieu des Magens die Wirkstoffe zerstören würde. Die Einnahme solcher Kapseln sollte aber immer mit dem behandelnden Arzt bzw. der Ärztin abgesprochen werden, da die Anwendung genau beachtet werden muss.
We attended the BIG FIVE exhibition hold in DUBAI during Dec. 5-8 th of 2022. Along with our chairman of the company, we met a lot of new and old customers. Most of them are from construction and detergent product production field. We investigated the market and compared the quality from the market, and found our goal and made our plan for the next year. To serve better to our buyers.
