Paints & Coatings HPMC

‌HPMC plays multiple roles in paints and coatings, including thickening, stabilization, adhesion enhancement, film performance improvement, rheological properties adjustment and cost reduction. ‌


HPMC, or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, is a polymer compound with a wide range of industrial applications, especially in the fields of construction, coatings, textiles, papermaking, etc. In the coatings industry, the role of HPMC is particularly significant: ‌Thickening and stabilization‌: HPMC can increase the viscosity and consistency of the coating, thereby improving the stability of the coating and preventing the coating from stratification or precipitation during storage. ‌Adhesion improvement‌: HPMC can improve the adhesion of the coating, allowing the coating to better adhere to the substrate and enhance the firmness and durability of the coating. ‌Improving film properties‌: By increasing the viscosity and consistency of the coating, HPMC helps to improve the smoothness and uniformity of the coating, thereby improving the overall quality of the coating. ‌Adjusting rheological properties‌: HPMC can adjust the rheological properties of the coating, allowing the coating to have better fluidity and construction performance during construction. ‌ ‌Reducing costs‌: HPMC also has a high cost-effectiveness, which helps to reduce the overall cost of coatings, making the coatings economical while maintaining excellent performance.


In summary, the application of HPMC in paints and coatings not only improves the quality and performance of the products, but also provides more possibilities for the development of the coatings industry.‌‌

FAQ

  • What is the main use of 1-Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)?

    HPMC is widely used in industries such as construction materials, coatings, synthetic resins, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, food, textiles, agriculture, cosmetics, and tobacco. HPMC can be classified into architectural grade, food grade, and pharmaceutical grade based on its application. Currently, most domestically produced HPMC falls under the architectural grade category. In the architectural grade, a large amount of HPMC is used in putty powder, accounting for approximately 90% of its usage, while the rest is used in cement mortar and adhesives.
