Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) has a methoxyl content of 28-30% and a hydroxypropoxyl content of 7-12%.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) belongs to the group of cellulose ethers in which hydroxyl groups have been substituted with one or more of the three hydroxyl groups present in the cellulose ring.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is hydrophilic (water soluble), a biodegradable, and biocompatible polymer having a wide range of applications in drug delivery, dyes and paints, cosmetics, adhesives, coatings, agriculture, and textiles.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is also soluble in polar organic solvents, making it possible to use both aqueous and nonaqueous solvents.
