Features Of Lotte PMC-40US Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

  1. Highly water-soluble, forming clear, low-viscosity solutions at room temperature.

  2. Excellent thermal gelation behavior with reversible sol-gel transition above 60–65°C.

  3. Superior film-forming capability and surface adhesion for coating and binding applications.

  4. Consistent batch-to-batch performance due to stringent GMP-aligned manufacturing control.

  5. pH-stable across a broad range (3.0–11.0), ensuring compatibility with acidic and alkaline formulations.

Typical Applications Of Lotte PMC-40US Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

  1. Pharmaceutical immediate-release tablets as a binder and disintegrant aid.

  2. Topical gels and ophthalmic solutions requiring thermoreversible viscosity control.

  3. Construction-grade tile adhesives and cement-based mortars for improved workability and open time.

  4. Food-grade thickener and stabilizer in dairy alternatives and plant-based beverages.

  5. Personal care formulations including hair styling gels and hand sanitizers for non-tacky film formation.
