A: HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) is widely used as a thickener, binder, and film-former in construction materials (e.g., tile adhesives), pharmaceuticals (e.g., tablet coatings), and food products (e.g., emulsifiers).
A: HPMC K4M is primarily used in pharmaceutical formulations for controlled-release tablets and ophthalmic solutions due to its viscosity and water-retention properties.
A: HPMC polymer acts as a stabilizer in paints, a water-retention agent in cement-based products, and a viscosity modifier in personal care items like shampoos and lotions.
A: Yes, HPMC serves as a safe additive in food for emulsification, texture improvement, and as a plant-based alternative to gelatin in vegan-friendly foods.
A: HPMC enhances workability, adhesion, and water retention in mortars, renders, and gypsum-based products, improving durability and reducing cracking.
