FAQs:
What is HPMC powder primarily used for?
HPMC powder is a versatile raw material used as a thickener, binder, and film-former across industries including construction, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food.
Why is HPMC suitable for automotive exhaust purification systems?
It is an ideal water-soluble binder for honeycomb ceramic substrates; after high-temperature sintering, it decomposes completely to carbon dioxide and water, leaving no residues.
Is HPMC safe for use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products?
Yes, specific grades like K100M and E5 are safe, non-irritating, and used in tablet coatings, ophthalmic solutions, shampoos, and toothpaste for their controlled-release and thickening properties.
Does HPMC leave any residue after processing in high-temperature applications?
No, after high-temperature sintering, HPMC decomposes entirely into carbon dioxide and water, ensuring a clean process with no residual ash or impurities.
