Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a water-soluble, non-toxic polymer additive. It is widely used in various industries due to its properties as a thickener, binder, film-former, emulsifier, and water retention agent.
LANDU is China’s top supplier of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose. Our HPMC can be used as an additive in construction products, such as tile adhesive, wall putty, EIFS, mortars, and gypsum, as well as self-leveling compounds, detergents, and hand soap. It can also find applications in pharmaceuticals, food, and personal and home care products.
As a leading HPMC supplier in China, we are committed to delivering premium-quality HPMC in the construction industry. Our technical team at LANDU can offer customized formulas to meet your various needs.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) significantly enhances moisture retention by forming a gel-like structure that prevents rapid water loss.
HPMC polymer ensures adequate hydration of the cement, which is essential for achieving optimal bond strength and reducing the risk of cracks.
HPMC solutions create a high-viscosity, gel-like layer when applied to surfaces. This layer increases friction, reducing the likelihood of slippage.
HPMC helps prevent separation of components and create a uniform and stable dispersion, which is crucial in construction materials like tile adhesives.

1.LANDU HPMC chemical can provide higher clarity by reducing haziness and fiber contents.
2.Detergent grade HPMC can give good transparency by enhancing the flow and dispersion of products.
3.HPMC detergents tolerate dissolved salts and electrolytes. They are stable in varying pH.
1. HPMC ensures moisture stays in the compounds, preventing them from drying too quickly.
2. It also enhances the spread and smoothness, making them easier to apply.
3. HPMC chemical helps prevent self-leveling materials from settling. This can ensure uniform consistency.

The full form of HPMC is Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose. HPMC is formed by replacing some hydroxyl groups with methyl and hydroxypropyl groups, enhancing its solubility and functionality.
HPMC is made from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plant cell walls. During production, cellulose undergoes chemical modification, but the process does not introduce harmful or toxic substances.
HPMC is a non-ionic polymer, meaning it does not carry a charge or interact with biological systems in a way that could cause toxicity. It is also chemically inert, meaning it doesn’t readily react with other substances in the body.
