HPMC is used as a thickening, emulsifying, and film-forming agent in creams, lotions, and shampoos. It is also used as a suspending agent in toothpaste and as a lubricant in makeup products.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is obtained from various natural sources, mainly wood pulp and cotton linters. 1
The HPMC Factory serves a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and construction. In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC is used as a binder, disintegrant, and thickening agent in tablets and capsules. In cosmetics, HPMC is used in skincare products, hair care products, and makeup for its emulsifying and thickening properties. In the construction industry, HPMC is used in cement-based materials for its water retention and workability enhancement. For controlled-release formulations, HPMC's ability to form a gel matrix when hydrated makes it an ideal choice. The drug is encapsulated within this matrix, which releases the medication slowly over time, maintaining a consistent therapeutic level in the body. This not only improves patient compliance but also minimizes the risk of side effects associated with high peak plasma concentrations.
The main findings of the studies evaluated in the previous assessments, in particular in the ANS Panel opinion (EFSA ANS Panel, 2018) are summarised below.
4. Emission Reduction The factory uses technologies to reduce emissions of pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.Answer: HPMC can be divided into instant type and hot dissolve type, instant products, in cold water quickly dispersed, disappeared in water, at this time the liquid has no viscosity, because HPMC is just dispersed in water, no real dissolution. After about 2 minutes, the viscosity of the liquid gradually increases, forming a transparent, sticky gel. Hot soluble products, in cold water, can quickly disperse in hot water, disappear in hot water, when the temperature drops to a certain temperature, viscosity slowly appear, until the formation of transparent viscous colloid. Hot soluble type can only be used in putty powder and mortar, in liquid glue and paint, there will be clumping phenomenon, can not be used. Instant type, a wide range of applications, in putty powder and mortar, as well as liquid glue and paint, can be used, there is no taboo。
HEC is a naturally occurring polymer and is considered non-irritating to the skin and eyes. This makes it an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin types.
