A: HPMC K15M is widely used as a thickening agent, binder, and film-former in construction materials like cement mortars and tile adhesives. It improves water retention and workability in dry-mix products. Its high viscosity makes it ideal for controlled-release pharmaceutical tablets.
A: HPMC K15M has a higher viscosity grade (15,000 mPa·s) compared to HPMC E5 (5 mPa·s). K15M is used in thick coatings and sustained-release drugs, while E5 suits low-viscosity applications like aqueous paints. Both are cellulose ethers but serve distinct formulation needs.
A: Yes, HPMC K15M acts as a matrix-forming agent in extended-release tablets. It controls drug dissolution rates and enhances tablet stability. Its biocompatibility and non-toxic nature make it FDA-approved for oral medications.
A: HPMC E5 is common in water-based paints for pigment suspension and brushability improvement. It also serves as a emulsifier in personal care products. Additionally, it’s used in food coatings due to its low viscosity and solubility.
A: HPMC K15M enhances plasticity and green strength in ceramic slurries. It reduces cracking during drying and firing stages. Its water-retention properties ensure uniform consistency in clay bodies.
