Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

1.Source:  Cotton Linters
Function: Thickening,dispersing, emulsifying, film forming and tableting excipients.
Description:HPMC for daily chemical chooses the highly pure cotton cellulose as raw materials, in alkaline condition by special etherification and system, the whole process automation monitoring finish, do not contain any animal organs and oil and other active ingredients. This product is non-ionic cellulose ether, the outward appearance is for white powder, no smell tasteless.

2.Application
