Introduction of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose Application
1. Application of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in the Construction Industry
As water-retaining agents and retarders of cement mortar, Hydroxy Methyl Cellulose enables the mortar to have pumping property. In plaster slurry, gypsum materials, putty powder or other building materials, it acts as binders and helps to improve the spreadability and prolong the operating time. In pasting tiles, marbles and plastic decorations, it can function as paste enhancers and can also reduce the cement amount. The water-holding capacity of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose makes the slurry not crack due to drying too fast after painting and enhances the strength after hardening.
2. Application of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose in the Ceramics Manufacturing Industry
In the production of ceramic products, Hydroxy Methyl Cellulose is widely used as adhesives.
3. Application of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose in the Coating Industry
In the coating industry, it acts as thickeners, dispersing agents and stabilizers. In water or organic solvents, it has good compatibility, so can be used as paint removers.
4. Application of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose in Ink Printing
In the printing ink industry, it acts as thickeners, dispersing agents and stabilizers. In water or organic solvents, it has good compatibility.
5. Application of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose in Plastics
It functions as molding release agents, softeners and lubricants.
6. Application of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose in PVC (Polrvinyl Chloride)
In the production of PVC, it can act as dispersing agents, the main additive in the preparation of PVC by suspension polymerization.
7. Application of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose in Other Fields
HPMC is also widely used in leather, paper products, fruit and vegetable preservation and the textile industry.
8. Application of Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose in the Pharmaceutical Industry
It can be used as coating materials, membranes, speed control polymer materials of sustained-release formulations, stabilizers, suspending agents, tablet binders and thickening agents.
