HPMC powder for Pakistan
HPMC powder for Pakistan: A Versatile Solution for Multiple Industries
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) powder is a versatile, semi-synthetic additive used in a wide range of industries. From the construction industry to pharmaceuticals, HPMC powder has proven to be a valuable ingredient that improves product performance and enhances end-user experience.
In Pakistan, HPMC powder has gained immense popularity in the construction industry. It is used to make cement-based decorative coatings, water-resistant paints, and other construction materials. The use of HPMC ensures improved viscosity and workability of the products, which ultimately results in a longer lifespan of the end product.
Apart from construction, HPMC powder is also used in the food industry as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer. In pharmaceuticals, it is used as a binding agent and in cosmetics, it serves as a thickener and emulsifier. The versatility of HPMC powder makes it a popular choice for manufacturers across different industries.

What are the formulations for interior and exterior wall putty powder?
The two main indicators most users are concerned about are the content of hydroxypropyl and viscosity. Higher hydroxypropyl content generally indicates better water retention. A higher viscosity also provides relatively better water retention (not absolute), and HPMC with higher viscosity is more suitable for cement mortar.
What are the differences between HPMC and MC?
In the application of HPMC in putty powder, it plays three roles: thickening, water retention, and facilitating construction. Thickening: Cellulose can thicken the mixture, maintain uniform suspension, and prevent sagging. Water retention: It slows down the drying process of putty powder and assists in the reaction of lime and calcium in water. Construction: Cellulose acts as a lubricant, improving the workability of the putty powder. HPMC does not participate in any chemical reactions; it only serves as an auxiliary agent. When putty powder is mixed with water and applied to the wall, a chemical reaction occurs because new substances are formed. However, if the putty powder is scraped off the wall, ground into powder, and reused, it is not suitable because a new substance (calcium carbonate) has already formed. The main components of lime and calcium powder are Ca(OH)2, CaO, and a small amount of CaCO3. The reaction can be represented as: CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 — Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 ↓ + H2O. Under the action of water and carbon dioxide in the air, lime and calcium carbonate are formed. HPMC only assists in water retention and the better reaction of lime and calcium; it does not participate in any reactions itself.
HPMC is a non-ionic type of cellulose ether. So, what does "non-ionic" mean?
HPMC has three functions in putty powder: thickening, water retention, and facilitating construction. It does not participate in any reaction. The formation of bubbles in putty powder can be caused by two reasons: (1) Excessive water content. (2) Applying another layer on top before the bottom layer has dried, which can also lead to the formation of bubbles.
What are the main raw materials of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?
For putty powder, a viscosity of around 100,000 is generally sufficient, while mortar requires a higher viscosity, around 150,000, to be effective. Moreover, the most important function of HPMC is water retention, followed by thickening. In putty powder, as long as it has good water retention and a lower viscosity (70,000-80,000), it can still be used. Of course, a higher viscosity provides relatively better water retention. However, when the viscosity exceeds 100,000, the impact of viscosity on water retention becomes less significant.
