Research Summary
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a versatile and widely used polymer derived from cellulose, a natural substance found in the cell walls of plants. HPMC is produced through chemical modification of cellulose by introducing hydroxypropyl and methyl groups. This results in a water-soluble polymer with various applications in pharmaceuticals, food products, construction materials, and cosmetics. In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC is commonly used as a film-coating agent for tablets, a thickening agent for liquid dosage forms, and a binder in tablet formulations. In the construction industry, it is used as a thickener in cement-based products, contributing to improved workability and adhesion. HPMC is valued for its biocompatibility, stability, and film-forming properties, making it a versatile and essential ingredient in a wide range of products across different industries.
