Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can be used in toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, hand sanitizer and shoe polish daily chemical products in the field of daily chemicals, and has the effect of thickening and preventing sedimentation.

Similar products to hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC include hydroxymethyl cellulose CMC, ethyl cellulose EC, hydroxypropyl cellulose HPC, methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose MHEC, methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose MHPC, hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC. Among these products, hydroxyethyl cellulose ether has the best effect in the field of daily chemicals. why? The technical department makes the following explanations.
Daily chemical grade 200,000 S viscosity hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a white or slightly yellow powder, and is odorless, tasteless and non-toxic. It is soluble in cold water and mixed with organic solvents to form a transparent viscous solution. The aqueous solution has surface activity, high transparency, strong stability, and is not affected by pH when dissolved in water. Daily chemical grade hydroxypropyl methylcellulose has thickening and antifreeze effects in shampoos and shower gels, and has water retention and film-forming properties for hair and skin. With the substantial increase in basic raw materials, cellulose (antifreeze thickener) can also be used in shampoo and body wash to greatly reduce costs and achieve desired results. In terms of stability and basic performance, HEC is stronger than other products in the application of daily chemical products.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a non-ionic surfactant. It has the functions of thickening, suspending, bonding, flotation, film-forming, dispersing, retaining water and providing protective colloid. Among these properties are the protective and water-retaining effects of colloids. It is very important in the application of daily chemical field.
Daily chemical grade special 200,000 S viscosity is soluble in hot and cold water, and insoluble in most organic solvents under normal circumstances. High temperature or boiling does not precipitate, giving it a wide range of solubility and viscosity properties. Also non-thermogelling. Post-thickening effects are minimal. HPMC stability is very outstanding.
In the application of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ether in the field of daily chemicals, because HPMC has the above excellent properties, it is widely used as a thickener, emulsifier and binder in daily necessities. When the mother liquor is used, HPMC should be sieved into a certain amount of water during the stirring process, and should not be shoveled or poured. Do not stop stirring until a clear and smooth mother liquor is obtained. Do not add other substances, so as not to affect the PH value of the system. Want to better improve the quality of the product. It is recommended to appropriately increase the temperature and pH of the system.
