CAS No. -65-3

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is multifunctional as a lubricant, foam enhancer and stabilizer, thickener, emulsion stabilizer and film former for hair and skin care products. HPMC is especially useful in surfactant systems for its foam enhancing properties, helping with the formation of bubble structure, leading to richer, longer lasting lather. HPMC has a high tolerance for both salt and alcohol.

Techniques for Dispersion
 

• The preferred method is to begin by heating approximately 1/3 of the total formulation water to 167°F (75°C) or higher. Add the HPMC to the vortex of agitated and heated water. Mix until fully dispersed. HMPC will not dissolve at this temperature. After complete dispersion, add the remaining water at room temperature or colder and continue mixing for 30 minutes after the total solution has cooled to 77°F. (25°C) or less. Proceed with the formulation.
   
• If heating is impossible, it is preferred to slurry the HPMC in a non-solvating media, such as glycerin or PEG, then add the slurry to the vortex of vigorously agitated water. Adding HPMC directly to cold water is not preferred, but if necessary, must be done very slowly under vigorous agitation. Expect longer mixing times for complete dissolution.

1. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose has thermal gelation property, that is, it has the excellent of being soluble in cold water but insoluble in hot water. As long as it is put in cold water, with stirring, it can be completely dissolved into a transparent solution. Products of some grades are basically insoluble in hot water more than 60 &#; and can only swell. This property can be used for its washing and purification to reduce costs, reduce pollution and increase production safety.

2. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is a non-ionic mixed cellulose ether, so its solution has no ionic charge, and does not react with metal salts or ionic compounds. This performance can be fully used to play a role in the pharmaceutical field, without affecting its efficacy.

 3. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose has strong enzyme resistance, which will be enhanced with the increase of degree of substitution. So it has great advantages for storage of made drugs over other sugar and starch products, and can also reduce the possibility of going moldy. It can be widely applied in the paint and food industries.

4. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is metabolically inert, so as pharmaceutical excipients, it won&#;t be metabolized or absorbed. In food, it does not provide heat, so it has peculiar usability on the food of low calorific value, no salt, no change in immunogenicity suitable for people with diabetes.

 5. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose solution has excellent film-forming performance and can provide good conditions for tablets, pills and coating. The mold formed has such characteristics as being colorless, transparent and tough. If added with glycerin, its flexibility can be increased.
