HPMC is a chemically modified cellulose, a naturally occurring polymer obtained from the cell wall of green plants. Its distinctive properties of water solubility, surface activity, enzyme resistance, film formation, and a binding attribute sets it apart for a myriad of purposes not limited to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and construction materials.
Therapeutic Uses and Pharmaceutical Applications:
Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose plays a vital role in pharmaceutical preparations. It possesses optimal adhesion and cohesion properties, making it a perfect agent for tablet film coating. Its nature of swelling up upon contact with water makes it a choice component for controlling drug release in sustained-release dosage forms.
Food, Cosmetics, and Other Applications:
Also finding extensive use in the food industry as an emulsifier, thickening and suspending agent, HPMC imparts stability to food products. Its ability to form clear, flexible films is taken advantage of in the cosmetic industry. As for the construction industry, HPMC is employed in wall putty, tile adhesives, cement renders for its superior water retention ability and workability.
