HPMC applications in personal care and home care products

Excellent temperature stability: As a non-ionic thickener, the viscosity of HPMC-thickened surfactant system is relatively stable with temperature changes, while the system adding Nacl as a thickener will have a jelly phenomenon at low temperatures.

Broad pH stability: As a non-ionic thickener, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose  can ensure stable performance between pH 3-11.

Good compatibility with surfactants: The thickening performance of Cellulose ether products is not affected by the type and concentration of surfactants.

Improve the rheological properties of the system: Headcare cellulose ether polymer can improve the rheological properties of the formula system, giving it a stringy feel, making the cleaning effect smoother, improving skin feel, and improving wet and dry combability of hair.

It has the performance of enhancing, stabilizing and enriching system foam: the surface tension of HPMC is relatively low, lower than the surface tension of water, so HPMC has the ability to reduce the surface tension of the system. When used in surface-active systems, in addition to providing thickening properties In addition, it can also play a role in assisting foaming and stabilizing foam.

Non-irritating: As the thickener of the system, cellulose ether polymer has a mild skin feel and is non-irritating.
