What is HPMC?

1. Measure the HPMC and Water Determine the total amount of HPMC needed for your formulation. A typical concentration ranges from 0.5% to 5% by weight, depending on the desired viscosity. Measure the appropriate amount of water and HPMC accurately.

4. Food Industry Hydroxyethyl cellulose is increasingly being used as a food additive to improve the texture and stability of food products, which is critical for enhancing consumer experience.

As of late 2023, the average price of hydroxyethyl cellulose per kilogram varies significantly based on supplier, grade, and application. General market prices typically range from $3 to $15 per kilogram. Premium grades that offer superior performance attributes may command even higher prices.

Beyond construction, HPMC is widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry. As a pharmaceutical excipient, it is primarily used in tablet formulations, controlled-release systems, and as a thickening agent in various liquid formulations. Its role in enhancing bioavailability and stability of drug compounds has led to its increasing adoption among manufacturers aiming for higher efficacy in their products. Furthermore, the growing trend towards generics and over-the-counter medications in China has witnessed a parallel increase in the demand for HPMC, positioning it as a critical component in the development of high-quality pharmaceuticals.
