HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose:

Chesilo Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose is a non-ionic, odorless, water soluble cellulose ether made by natural high polymer cellulose as raw material and series of chemical processing. Chesilo Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose is widely used as thickener, protective colloid, stabilizer, suspending aids and water retainer in construction mortar, water-based paint and PVC industry.

HPMC Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose:

Typical specification

Appearance: White to off-white powder

Moisture content: Max. 5.0% as packed

pH: 5.0 – 7.5

Typical Properties:

1. Water retention: CheSilo MPC provides excellent water retention.

2. Thickening & Binding: CheSilo MPC offers thickening in solution and improves cohesiveness in formulations.

3. Surface activity: An aqueous solution of CheSilo MPC has a high surface activity and functions as a protective colloid agent, emulsion stabilizer and dispersant.

4. Film forming: CheSilo MPC provides a tough, flexible and transparent film having a good barrier property against oil and grease.

5. Non-ionic charge: CheSilo MPC is compatible with other additives in aqueous solution and provides a stable combination of water solubility.

6. Ph stability: The viscosity of an aqueous solution of CheSilo MPC is hardly affected by acid or alkali, and the product can develop an original viscosity in the range of 3.0 ~ 11.0. Therefore, the solution viscosity tends to keep stable during prolonged storage.
