HPMC coating dispersant thickening coating
1.HPMC coatings are increasingly favored in the coating field due to their environmental friendliness, easy processing, good adhesion, and excellent film-forming properties. However, as with any coating, the application of HPMC coatings requires certain additives to help achieve the desired properties, including dispersants and thickeners. 2.Dispersants are important additives for HPMC coatings because they prevent […]
Points of attention in the configuration of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
Points of attention in the configuration of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose In the process of configuring sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, it is usually simpler, but there are several things that cannot be configured together. First of all, It is a strong acid and a strong base. If this solution is combine with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, it will […]
The difference between HPMC and CMC
The difference between HPMC and CMC Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) (1) HPMC is easily soluble in cold water, and it may be difficult to dissolve in hot water. However, its gelation temperature in hot water is significantly higher than that of methyl cellulose. The dissolution in cold water is also much better than methyl cellulose. (2) […]
