Cellulose, 2-hydroxypropyl ether

Description:

Cellulose, 2-hydroxypropyl ether, commonly referred to as hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), is a non-ionic, water-soluble derivative of cellulose. It is produced by the etherification of cellulose with propylene oxide, resulting in the introduction of hydroxypropyl groups into the cellulose structure. This modification enhances its solubility in water and organic solvents, making it useful in various applications. HPC is characterized by its ability to form clear, viscous solutions, which makes it valuable as a thickening agent, film-forming agent, and stabilizer in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. It is also known for its biocompatibility and low toxicity, which further broadens its applicability in biomedical fields. Additionally, hydroxypropyl cellulose exhibits thermoplastic properties, allowing it to be processed in various forms. Its chemical stability and resistance to degradation under normal conditions contribute to its longevity in formulations. Overall, HPC is a versatile polymer with significant utility across multiple industries due to its unique properties.

In water, hydroxypropyl cellulose forms liquid crystals with many mesophases depending on concentration. These mesophases include isotropic, anisotropic, nematic and cholesteric, the latter resulting in many colors such as violet, green and red. Pharmaceutical applications include treatments for medical conditions such as dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), recurrent corneal erosions, decreased corneal sensitivity, exposure and neuroparalytic keratitis. It is also used as a binder in tablets. Hydroxypropylcellulose is also used as a thickener, a binder and emulsion stabiliser in foods with E number E463.  HPC is used as a support matrix for DNA separations by capillary and microchip electrophoresis.
