Description
Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) is propylene glycol ether of methyl cellulose, wherein hydroxypropyl and methyl are combined with ether bond and cellulose anhydrous glucose ring, for white to off-white cellulose powder or particles, with methyl cellulose similar to cold water solubility and hot water insoluble characteristics. In organic solvent solubility is better than water soluble, can dissolve in anhydrous methanol and ethanol solution, can also dissolve in chlorinated hydrocarbons and ketones and other organic solvents. Dissolved in water, the water soluble liquid has surface activity, after drying to form a film, after heating and cooling, the reversible conversion from sol to gel in turn. It can be used alone in cold drinks or combined with other emulsifiers and stabilizers. The maximum dosage in cold drinks is 1%. In recent years, it has been widely used in petrochemical industry, papermaking, leather, textile printing and dyeing, medicine, food, cosmetics and other industries
