Brief: Discover Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) K100M, a high-performance ceramic binder ideal for SCR denitrification catalyst support. This versatile excipient enhances construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics with superior water retention, controlled release, and residue-free sintering.
Related Product Features:
  • High water retention extends open time in tile adhesives and putty, enhancing workability and bond strength.
  • Reduces cracking in cement mortars while improving fluidity and pumpability.
  • Low viscosity ensures superior flow in self-leveling compounds, minimizing segregation.
  • Acts as a water-soluble binder for honeycomb ceramic substrates, leaving no residue after sintering.
  • Forms controlled-release barriers in pharmaceutical tablets and modulates drug dissolution.
  • Safe and non-irritating thickener for ophthalmic solutions, prolonging ocular residence time.
  • Meets strict Chinese Pharmacopoeia standards for appearance, viscosity, and heavy metal content.
  • Versatile applications in cosmetics, coatings, and food industry as a gelatin alternative.
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.
