What is Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether derived from the chemical modification of natural cellulose (e.g., wood pulp or cotton fibers). Based on Methylcellulose (MC), HPMC is further modified by introducing hydroxypropyl (-OCH₂CHOHCH₃) groups, enhancing its solubility, gelation temperature, and stability. This modification combines the properties of methyl and hydroxypropyl substituents, creating a highly versatile polymer.

LANDU, as a leading manufacturer of HPMC, offers various grades suitable for use as a thickener, binder, film former, and stabilizer. Our HPMC products are widely used in detergents and dry-mix mortars, such as tile adhesives, wall putties, self-leveling compounds, and EIFS systems.

LANDU LANDERCOLL® HPMC Types

Non-Surface-Treated Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)

Non-surface-treated HPMC dissolves directly in water without delay, forming a viscous solution. It is ideal for applications requiring immediate viscosity or binding, such as tile adhesives, wall putties, EIFS systems, and self-leveling compounds.

Surface-Treated Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)

Surface-treated HPMC is modified to delay its dissolution in water, controlling the hydration rate. This is ideal for applications requiring delayed solubility, such as personal care and home care detergents.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Find answers to common questions about our HPMC products, applications, specifications, and pricing.

What should you do if the HPMC solution forms lumps or is difficult to dissolve?

  1. Pre-dispersion method: Mix HPMC with a small amount of other powder (e.g., cement), then add water and stir.
  2. Adjust water temperature: Disperse in cold water first, then heat to 60°C for dissolution (avoid direct hot water addition).
  3. Extend stirring time: Use a high-shear mixer to accelerate dissolution.
  4. Tip: Choose surface-treated HPMC (e.g., instant-dissolving grade) to reduce lump formation.

How can HPMC be tested for purity or quality?

Key Parameters and Testing Methods:

  1. Viscosity: Measured using a rotational viscometer (20°C, 2% aqueous solution, Brookfield standard method).
  2. Substitution Degree: Determined by HPLC or chemical titration, directly affecting solubility and gelation temperature.
  3. Ash Content: Residue analysis after high-temperature incineration (800°C). High-quality HPMC typically has an ash content ≤1%.
  4. Moisture Content: Measured using a Karl Fischer moisture titrator (standard range is generally ≤5%).

How does the gelation temperature of HPMC affect its applications?

  • High-Temperature Applications (e.g., Construction Mortar): HPMC with a high gelation temperature (60–90°C) remains soluble under high temperatures, improving water retention and workability.
  • Low-Temperature Applications (e.g., Food, Pharmaceuticals): HPMC with a low gelation temperature (40–50°C) forms gels quickly, suitable for controlled release.

How do HPMC and Polymer Powder (e.g., VAE) work synergistically in mortar?

  • HPMC: Provides water retention, thickening, and extended open time (0.2%–0.4%).
  • Polymer Powder (VAE): Enhances adhesive strength, flexibility, and impact resistance (1%–3%).
  • Synergistic Effect: HPMC slows cement hydration, improving workability; polymer powder forms a film, enhancing final strength.
