Faq
Why does hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) have an odor?
1. Hot water dissolution method: HPMC does not dissolve in hot water, but it can disperse evenly in hot water initially and then rapidly dissolve upon cooling. There are two typical methods described as follows:
(1) Place the required amount of hot water in a container and heat it to approximately 70°C. Gradually add HPMC while stirring slowly. Initially, HPMC will float on the water's surface and gradually form a slurry, which cools down under stirring.
(2) Add 1/3 or 2/3 of the required amount of water to a container and heat it to 70°C. Disperse HPMC according to method (1) to prepare a hot water slurry. Then, add the remaining cold water to the hot water slurry and cool the mixture after stirring.
2. Powder mixing method: Mix HPMC powder with a large amount of other powdered substances using a blender. Afterward, add water for dissolution. In this case, HPMC can dissolve without clumping because each tiny corner of the powder contains only a small amount of HPMC, which dissolves immediately upon contact with water. This method is commonly used in putty powder and mortar production.
What are the main technical indicators of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?
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 is the recommended viscosity of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?
1. Whiteness: Although whiteness alone does not determine the usefulness of HPMC, higher-quality products usually have better whiteness.
2. Fineness: HPMC is typically available in 80 and 100 mesh sizes, with fewer options in 120 mesh. Finer particles generally indicate better quality.
3. Transmittance: When HPMC is dissolved in water and forms a transparent colloidal solution, higher transmittance indicates fewer insoluble impurities.
4. Specific gravity: Higher specific gravity is generally better. A higher specific gravity is often due to a higher content of hydroxypropyl, which results in better water retention.
What are the main raw materials of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)?
The cold-water soluble type of HPMC is surface-treated with formaldehyde, allowing it to disperse rapidly in cold water but not truly dissolve. It only dissolves when the viscosity increases. The thermal soluble type does not undergo surface treatment with formaldehyde. A higher dosage of formaldehyde results in faster dispersion but slower viscosity increase, while a lower dosage has the opposite effect.
