hpmc limited.
mhec-methhyl hydroxyethyl cellulose manufacturer. In the construction industry, MHEC is commonly used as a thickening agent in cement-based products such as mortar, grouts, and tile adhesives. Its water retention and workability-enhancing properties make it an ideal additive for improving the performance and durability of construction materials.
1)Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is soluble in cold water, while dissolution in hot water can be challenging. However, its gelation temperature in hot water is significantly higher than that of Methyl Cellulose. Compared to Methyl Cellulose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose shows improved solubility in cold water.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is characterized by its unique structure in which hydroxypropyl and methyl groups are chemically linked to the cellulose backbone. This modification enhances its solubility in water and provides several desirable properties for its applications in the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries.
