1. Construction industry: as a water-retaining agent and retarder of cement mortar, the mortar has pumping property. Apply mortar, plaster, putty powder, or other building materials as a binder to improve spreadability and extend operation time. Used as paste ceramic tile, marble, plastic decoration, paste reinforcer, can also reduce the amount of cement. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC water retention performance so that the paste in the daub will not dry too fast and crack, enhance the strength after hardening.

2, ceramic manufacturing industry: widely used as adhesives in the manufacturing of ceramic products.

3, the coating industry: in the coating industry as thickening agent, dispersant and stabilizer, in water or organic solvents have good compatibility. As a paint stripper.

4, ink printing: in the ink industry as a thickening agent, dispersant and stabilizer, in water or organic solvents are good compatibility.

5, plastic: forming release agent, softener, lubricant, etc.

6, PVC: PVC production as dispersant, suspension polymerization PVC preparation of the main auxiliaries.

7, others: This product is also widely used in leather, paper products industry, fruit and vegetable preservation and textile industry, etc.

8. Pharmaceutical industry: coating materials; Membrane material; Speed-controlled polymer materials for slow-release preparations; Stabilizing agent; Suspended aid; Tablet adhesive; Increases the goo

Health hazard

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is safe and non-toxic, can be used as food additive, no heat, no irritation to skin, mucous membrane contact. It is generally considered safe (FDA1985) with a daily intake of 25mg/kg(FAO/WHO 1985). Protective equipment should be worn during operation.

Environmental effects of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose

Avoid arbitrary scattering of dust causing air pollution.

Physical and chemical hazards: avoid contact with fire sources, and avoid the formation of large amounts of dust in a closed environment to prevent explosive hazards.
