Water solubility and thickening ability: it can soluble in cold water, and form a transparent viscous solution.

Dissolution in organic solvents: Because it contains a certain amount of hydrophobic methoxy groups, this product can be dissolved in some organic solvents.

PH value stability: The viscosity of HPMC’s aqueous solution is relatively stable in the range of PH value 3.0-11.0.

Surface activity: HPMC aqueous solution has surface activity. It has emulsifying effect, protecting colloid ability and relative stability.

Thermal gelation: When heated above a certain temperature, the aqueous solution of HPMC can become opaque, generate precipitation, and lose viscosity. However, it gradually changed to the original solution state after cooling.

Low ash content: HPMC is non-ionic, it can be washed with hot water during the preparation process and effectively refined, so its ash content is very low.

Salt resistance: Since this product is a non-ionic and non-polymeric electrolyte, it is relatively stable in aqueous solutions of metal salts or organic electrolytes.

Water retention effect:

Because HPMC is hydrophilic and its aqueous solution is highly viscous. It can be added to mortar, gypsum, paint, etc. to maintain high water retention in the product.

Mildew resistance: It has relatively good mildew resistance, and has good viscosity stability during long-term storage. Lubricity: Adding HPMC can reduce friction coefficient and improve the lubricity of extruded ceramic products and cement products.

Film-forming property: It can produce strong, flexible, transparent flakes with good oil and ester resistance.
