Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a white or nearly white fibrous powder or granule with excellent cold water solubility. HPMC belongs to non-ionic cellulose ether, which is non-electrically charged in aqueous solution, so it is stable and has good compatibility with other excipients or APIs. HPMC has a wide range of uses due to its different molecular weights and viscosities, which make it possess the properties of adhesion, thickening, suspending aid, emulsification, and film-forming. Today, HPMC is seamlessly integrated into a wide range of products as a binder.

Analysing HPMC as a binder core

Essentially, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a chemically modified form of cellulose. Cellulose is a naturally occurring polymer found in the cell walls of plants. Through a complex chemical process, cellulose undergoes a structural transformation, resulting in HPMC formation. This chemical upgrade gives HPMC many features that make it an excellent binder. Kemox HPMC is mainly used as a binder in the following industries:

In the construction industry, HPMC is key to a wide range of formulations. As a binder, it enhances the adhesion between particles, thereby improving the durability of materials such as mortars, grouts and tile adhesives. In the use of paints and coatings it prevents pigment settling and enhances the overall stability of the formulation. Its bonding ability helps the pigments to spread evenly, resulting in a smooth and uniform finish. In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC can help make bonded tablets with consistent drug content by facilitating the aggregation of active ingredients. Its role in controlled-release formulations demonstrates its versatility in achieving specific drug-release characteristics. In the food industry, HPMC is used as a binder in processed foods such as sausages and meat products. It increases viscosity and stability and ensures uniform distribution of ingredients. The inert nature of HPMC makes it an excellent choice for food binders, as it does not affect the mouthfeel of the final product.
