Faqs:
What are the key applications of HPMC-K100M?
HPMC-K100M is used in construction materials like tile adhesives and cement mortars, ceramic industry for honeycomb substrates, pharmaceuticals for tablet coatings, and cosmetics/food as a thickener.
How does HPMC enhance ceramic substrate production?
It acts as a water-soluble binder during extrusion and decomposes cleanly to CO+HO during sintering, leaving no residue—ideal for automotive exhaust purification carriers.
What quality standards does HPMC-K100M comply with?
It meets Chinese Pharmacopoeia CP standards for viscosity, moisture content (≤5%), pH (6.0-8.0), heavy metals (≤20 ppm), and microbial limits, ensuring safety and stability.
Can HPMC be used in food products?
Yes, food-grade HPMC serves as a thickening agent in dairy/sauces and a gelatin alternative in vegan products.
What are the viscosity properties of HPMC-K100M?
It has an apparent viscosity of 80,000-130,000 cp (2% aqueous solution at 25°C), making it suitable for high-performance applications like sustained-release pharmaceuticals.
