Name: Dow METHOCEL 40-101 Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
Brand: Guangzhou Eric Wei Chemical Co., Ltd.

Features Of Dow METHOCEL 40-101 Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

Highly water-soluble non-ionic polymer with excellent cold-water dispersion and rapid hydration kinetics.
Provides strong, stable viscosity build in aqueous systems across a broad pH range (3–11) and temperature profile.
Offers outstanding film-forming capability with good flexibility, clarity, and low tack.
Delivers superior thermal gelation behavior—forms reversible gels upon heating, enhancing texture control in heat-triggered formulations.
Complies with major global regulatory standards including USP/NF, EP, JP, and FDA 21 CFR §172.872 for food contact and pharmaceutical use.

Typical Applications Of Dow METHOCEL 40-101 Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

Pharmaceutical oral solid dosage forms: binder and controlled-release matrix in tablets and pellets.
Topical pharmaceuticals and cosmetics: rheology modifier and stabilizer in gels, creams, and ointments.
Food applications: texturizer and moisture-retention agent in baked goods, dairy alternatives, and plant-based meats.
Construction adhesives and tile mortars: water retention enhancer and workability improver for cementitious systems.
Industrial coatings and inkjet inks: viscosity controller and film former for aqueous-based formulations.
