HPMC
Hidroxipropilmetilcelulose
TENESSY® Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is a non-ionic cellulose ether made from natural cotton cellulose. It is a white or slightly yellow powder that swells in cold water to form a clear or slightly cloudy gel-like solution.
It has multiple functions, including thickening, binding, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming, suspending, water retention, and acting as a protective colloid.
HPMC is a highly versatile material with significant applications in the construction industry, household products, and cosmetics.
As your reliable supplier, TENESSY provides high-quality HPMC powder. Our formulas are specifically designed to work perfectly for the different needs of many industries.

Key Features of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose
HPMC is widely used in construction materials, it can:
- Improves Lubrication & Plasticity Enhances workability and makes product application easier and faster.
- Enhances Water Retention Extends workable time for better usability.
- Prevents Sagging Reduces flow of mortar, plaster, and tiles, extending open time and improving work efficiency.
- Increases Bonding Strength Strengthens adhesion for better performance.
- Improves Crack Resistance Enhances the anti-cracking and anti-shrinkage properties of mortars and board joint fillers.
- Optimizes Air Content in Mortar Reduces the likelihood of cracks by improving air content.
HPMC is also an excellent choice for cosmetics and personal care products due to its ability to:
- Thicken, Foam & Stabilize Emulsions Works as a dispersant, adhesion agent, film-former, and water retention enhancer.
- Provide High or Low Viscosity Options High-viscosity products are used for thickening; low-viscosity products are used for suspension, dispersion, and film-forming.
- Improve Shampoo & Shower Gel Formulations Delivers thickening, anti-freeze effects, water retention, and film-forming properties for hair and skin. As raw material costs rise, using HPMC as an anti-freeze thickener can reduce production costs while achieving ideal performance.
