Appearance:
White to slightly off-white fibrous or granular powder.
Physical analysis:
- Gelation temperature: 58 – 64˚C
- Substitution type (USP Monograph 32): 2910
- Methoxyl content: 28 – 30%
- Hydroxypropyl content: 7 – 12%
- Viscosity, typical Brookfield (2%, 25%): 2.4 – 4800 cps
Applications:
HPMC is used in various applications including;
- construction
- pharmaceutical
- food
Benefits:
- Vital to improving properties such as; sag resistance, workability, water retention
- Acts as a binder and thickener across food stuffs, construction products and inks etc.
- Helps to prevent crack formation, drying out and separation of raw materials
- Can improve adhesion strength and product shelf-life
- Provides good volume and texture
- Reduces oil absorption and helps product to maintain structure and shape
- Acts as a binder, thickener and stabiliser in a range of foodstuffs – resulting in firm texture with good mouth-feel and freeze-thaw ability
- Can be used in pharmaceuticals as an organic, solvent, control released coating
- High viscosity and water soluble
