Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a versatile, cellulose-based polymer that has gained significant traction across various industries due to its unique properties. Used predominantly as a thickening agent, binder, and film-forming agent, HPMC finds applications in pharmaceuticals, food products, cosmetics, and construction, among others. The market for HPMC has shown consistent growth, driven by increasing demand in these sectors.

2. Improved Workability HPMC enhances the viscosity and consistency of tile adhesives, making them easier to apply. The improved workability allows tilers to spread the adhesive more uniformly and adjust tile placements as needed without compromising adhesion quality.

1. Pharmaceuticals HPMC is extensively used as a pharmaceutical excipient. It serves as a binder, film-forming agent, and controlled-release agent in tablet formulation. Its ability to swell in water allows for sustained release of active ingredients, enhancing drug bioavailability. Furthermore, HPMC is often utilized in eye drop formulations due to its biocompatibility and ability to increase the viscosity of solutions, providing prolonged moisture retention for the eyes.

HPMC is derived from cellulose, which is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the plant cell walls. The process of creating HPMC begins with the extraction of cellulose from wood pulp or cotton linters. These natural sources consist primarily of long chains of glucose units linked together, forming the cellulose structure. This raw cellulose powder serves as the starting material for synthesizing HPMC.
