HPMC K100M

Description

HPMC K100M stands for Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose with a high molecular weight of 100,000 (K represents 1000 in Roman numerals). HPMC is a cellulose-based polymer derived from natural plant cellulose and chemically modified to improve its properties. It is widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and construction.

Description: HPMC K100M is a white to off-white powder with excellent water solubility. It forms clear and viscous solutions when dissolved in water, making it useful as a thickening agent, film-former, and stabilizer in various formulations. In pharmaceuticals, HPMC is used in tablet coatings, sustained-release formulations, and as a binder for granules. In cosmetics, it is used in creams, lotions, and gels to provide texture and enhance stability. In the construction industry, HPMC is used in cement-based products as a water-retaining agent and to improve workability.
