Smart Ways to Spot A Poor-Quality HPMC Introduction Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a critical additive in tile adhesives, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and other industries. However, not all HPMC products are of the same quality. Poor-quality HPMC can lead to weak adhesion, inconsistent viscosity, and production issues.
