HPMC 150k -Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
HPMC 150k (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) is a water-soluble, nonionic cellulose-derived thickener. It is a high-purity grade that performs especially well in surfactant systems.
HPMC 150k (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) is a water-soluble, nonionic cellulose-derived thickener. It is a high-purity grade that performs especially well in surfactant systems. It is nonionic which means it does not carry any electrical charge and this makes it compatible with a wide range of ingredients. HPMC 150k is widely used in the personal care industry for its thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. It is also used as a film-forming agent, binder, and suspending agent.
HPMC 150k is a natural-based ingredient, making it an ideal choice for formulators looking to create high-performance, natural-based products.
HPMC 150k is available in different grades, depending on the viscosity and molecular weight. The 150k grade has a high molecular weight, making it ideal for use in personal care products that require thickening and stabilizing.
We also do stock the 200k Grade.
