Product Overview

High-Performance Cellulose Ether for Construction, Coatings & Daily Chemicals


Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. At Hehui Chemical, we manufacture high-purity HPMC designed to meet the demanding needs of dry mix mortars, water-based paints, and household detergent formulations.


It dissolves easily in hot or cold water, forming a transparent, viscous solution with excellent thickening, water retention, film-forming, and stabilizing properties. These characteristics make HPMC a highly effective additive across a variety of industries.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a water-soluble cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose. It is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, water-retaining agent, and film-former across various industries including construction, coatings, adhesives, and personal care. HPMC is available in a range of viscosity grades and substitution levels, allowing formulation flexibility to meet specific industrial requirements.

As a professional Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose manufacturer, HEHUI provides high-quality HPMC powder with consistent performance, excellent solubility, and customizable properties.

Product Advantages of HPMC
Product Advantages of HPMC

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a high-performance cellulose ether widely used in construction materials and water-based coatings. Its unique properties make it an essential additive for improving product quality and workability. Here are the key advantages of HPMC:

Outstanding Water Retention for Construction
HPMC effectively maintains moisture in dry mix mortars, tile adhesives, and plasters, ensuring longer open time and preventing premature drying or cracking during application.

Superior Rheology and Viscosity Control
By enhancing viscosity and providing excellent shear-thinning behavior, HPMC improves workability, reduces sagging, and ensures smooth leveling in wall putty, self-leveling mortar, and water-based paints.

Enhanced Adhesion and Durability
HPMC promotes strong bonding between substrates and coatings, which increases the adhesion strength and durability of tile adhesives and decorative coatings.

Excellent Compatibility with Various Formulations
Compatible with cement, gypsum, pigments, and fillers, HPMC ensures stable dispersion and uniform texture, vital for consistent product performance.

Alkali and Temperature Resistance
HPMC maintains stability in alkaline environments and withstands varying temperatures, making it suitable for demanding construction and coating applications.
