HPMC vs CMC: Understanding the Difference for OEM Manufacturers

Our new product is a versatile cellulose-based polymer that serves as an excellent film former, binder, and thickening agent in a wide range of applications. This product is a high-quality hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) that offers superior performance compared to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in various formulations. HPMC, with its superior water retention and film-forming properties, is an ideal choice for formulating in the construction, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries. It provides excellent adhesion, workability, and improved open time in cement-based products, making it a preferred choice for tile adhesives, grouts, and renders. In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC is widely used as a coating and binding agent in tablet formulations, providing excellent dissolution properties and dose uniformity. Additionally, in the personal care industry, HPMC is a sought-after ingredient for its emulsifying and thickening properties in lotions, creams, and shampoos. Compared to CMC, HPMC offers better stability and performance in a wide range of pH and temperature conditions, making it a more versatile and reliable choice for formulators. Its excellent compatibility with other ingredients and its ability to improve product appearance and texture make it a preferred choice for countless product formulations. Overall, our HPMC product provides superior performance and versatility, making it the top choice for various industries seeking high-quality cellulose-based polymers.
