- Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), also known as hydroxyethyl cellulose, is a non-ionic water-soluble polymer and is derived from cellulose. It is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties and wide range of applications. The CAS number for hydroxyethyl cellulose is 9004-62-0.
- 1. Quality Assurance The first and foremost criterion while selecting a supplier is the quality of their products. Look for suppliers who have a proven track record of providing high-quality HEC that meets international standards. They should be able to provide certifications such as ISO, FDA, or NSF to confirm the safety and efficacy of their products.
- In the construction industry, HPMC is widely used as a thickener, binder, and film-former in products like tile adhesives, plasters, and mortar. Its ability to control moisture and improve workability makes it an essential ingredient in dry mix formulations. In paints and coatings, HPMC acts as a suspending agent, preventing the settling of pigments and providing a smooth finish.
In ruminants, cellulose is first hydrolysed by ruminal microorganisms into cellobiose, then is fermented to pyruvate and finally volatile fatty acids. The changes of forage to concentrate ratios in the diet significantly affect the number and type of rumen microorganisms and then affect the end products of fermentation. Moreover, the extent of cellulose digestion is a compromise between the rate of hydrolysis and the retention time in the rumen related to the particle size of the forage. The intrinsic digestibility of cellulose depends on the origin and treatment of the forage. As far as cellulose is associated to lignin, hemicelluloses and cutin in natural forages, a wide range of digestibility is observed (30 to 90%). Crystallinity of cellulose decreases the rate but not the extent of digestibility that may reach 80% (Van Soest, 1994).


The hydrophilic matrix system is the simplest sustained release technology for oral dosage forms, consisting essentially of a drug and a water soluble, highly viscous polymer. It does not require any other excipient. Hydrocel range of HPMC is a “tailored to perform” range of cellulose ethers having their specifications in line with multiple pharmacopoeia while keeping the results in a narrow range to ensure consistency in batch to batch results is achieved every time. With narrow parameter range Hydrocel range of Cellulose & Polymers are available in different grades to support various different application. They have gained excellent feedback from the customers and have excellent performance results. HPMC also gives excellent finish for tablet and pellet coatings.
It is now an EU and FDA-approved food additive and is considered non-toxic to humans.
1、What is HPMC?
Topical preparations:




What is it: HPMC is a chemically modified cellulose polymer that is off-white in color and considered safe for human consumption. It is most commonly used as an alternative to gelatin and gluten in vegan-friendly products.
