CAS 9004-65-3

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose

Description:

Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), with the CAS number 9004-65-3, is a semi-synthetic polymer derived from cellulose. It is characterized by its white to off-white powder form, which is odorless and tasteless. HPMC is soluble in cold water, forming a viscous gel, while it is insoluble in organic solvents. This compound exhibits excellent film-forming, thickening, and emulsifying properties, making it widely used in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, food products, cosmetics, and construction materials. In the pharmaceutical industry, HPMC serves as a binder and controlled-release agent in tablet formulations. In food applications, it acts as a thickener and stabilizer, enhancing texture and moisture retention. Additionally, HPMC is non-toxic and biodegradable, contributing to its appeal in eco-friendly formulations. Its versatility and functional properties make it a valuable ingredient across multiple sectors, including personal care and industrial applications.

(Hydroxypropyl)methyl cellulose - Viscocity 40-60 cP, 2 % in H2O (20 °C)

CAS: 9004-65-3

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC or hypromellose) is a semisynthetic, inert and viscoelastic polymer that is used as eye drops and as semi-synthetic substitute for tear-films. When applied, a hypromellose solution acts to swell and absorb water, by increasing the thickness of the tear-film, resulting in decreased eye irritation.  In addition to its use in ophthalmic liquids, hypromellose has been used as an excipient in oral tablet and capsule formulations, where, depending on the grade, it functions as controlled-release agent. It is also used as a binder and as a component of tablet coatings.  Hypromellose in aqueous solution, unlike methylcellulose, exhibits thermal gelation properties. HPMC is approved as a food additive, emulsifier, thickening and suspending agent, and as an alternative to animal gelatin (Codex Alimentarius code (E number) is E464).
