HYPROMELLOSE
(HPMC)
A multi-purpose pharmaceutical excipient that can be used as a thickener, dispersant, emulsifier and film-forming agent. It can provide a binding force and be used as a clear film-coating for oral solid preparation to significantly increase the stability and dissolution rate, as well as enhance the water-retention properties of a tablet.
In the food industry, HPMC can also be used as a thickener and emulsifier — from whipped toppings to ready meals & snacks — to maintain their shape and texture even after preparation, packaging, shipping, freezing, thawing and reheating. It is also used as an extrusion aid due to its superior binding capabilities. HPMC allows food manufacturers to make healthier and more satisfying reduced-fat, gluten-free, egg-free, vegetarian and vegan foods without compromising on taste, look, or feel.
In building materials, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose can act as a dispersing agent, thickener and binder. HPMC is mainly used in the molding of cement mortar and plaster products. With cement mortar, HPMC will increase adhesion, reduce flocculation, improve viscosity, shrinkage, and water retention, reduce the water loss of concrete surface, enhance the strength, and prevent the occurrence of cracks or weathering effects from water-soluble salts.
High degree of substitution and high viscosity HPMC is used in eye drops, as a cream preparation, or in gels of substrate materials.
Our HEADCEL Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is superior in its performance thanks to its exceptional combination of features:
Reduced Oil Consumption
Better emulsion stability which can enhance taste, appearance, texture, moisture and air characteristics
Accelerated Production
Reduce pan heating, improve thermal efficiency and reduce deposit formation and accumulation
Higher Viscosity
Can be used in conjunction with starch to achieve a higher viscosity and synergistic effect
Water-Loss Control
Controls the moisture of food from freezer to room temperature change, thereby reducing damage, ice crystallization and texture deterioration
CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE
(CMC)
Suitable for use as a thickener and stabilizer for drug pastes
Works as a water retention agent
and dispersant for ointments
Performs as a disintegrator
for tablets
Creates an oil emulsion for injection purposes
OUR PRODUCTS
Our HEADCEL Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose ( (CMC-Na) has excellent performance in food application thanks to its:
Thickening Property
Provides high viscosity under low dosage, and controls the viscosity during the food production process
Water Retention
Prevents food from dehydrating and shrinking to achieve longer shelf life
Dispersion & Stability
Prevents oil water delamination (emulsification) and reduces the size of crystals in frozen food helping to maintain its quality and stability
Filming
Acts as a film-forming agent and is resistant to oils, fats and organic solvents
Versatile Application
Can be used in a variety of low-fat products as a thickening agent or as a “super disintegrant”
METHYL CELLULOSE
(MC)
In the pharmaceutical industry methylcellulose is often used as a binder excipient for tablets as well as coating agent. Additionally, MC is used as an API bulk-laxative.
High viscosity methylcellulose is used to change disruption or as a controlled-release formulation.
High degree of substitution and low viscosity methyl cellulose is used for water-based coating, as well as a suspension agent, thickening agent, emulsion-stability agent, and protective colloid.
