Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a methyl cellulose derivative made from natural renewable polymers, such as cotton or wood pulp. It is a white powder that is odorless, tasteless and non-toxic. It can dissolve in water and form a clear solution with a specific viscosity. Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose has good stability even in alkaline environments. It is widely used in dry-mixed mortar industry, oil drilling, detergent, paint and coatings.
