HPC is synthesized through the alkylation of cellulose with propylene oxide. This modification enhances the solubility of cellulose in water and organic solvents, making it a valuable additive in numerous formulations. One of the defining features of HPC is its ability to form a transparent gel when mixed with water, which can be critical in processes requiring thickening or stabilizing agents. The degree of substitution – the average number of hydroxypropyl groups introduced per sugar unit – influences its solubility and rheological properties. Typically, HPC exhibits a high degree of water solubility, low viscosity, and excellent film-forming capacity.

Why Choose Our Additives?

The high regularity and crystallinity of carboxymethyl cellulose molecular chains give it high mechanical strength and stability. In addition, a large number of hydroxyl (- OH) groups enable cellulose to form hydrogen bonds, enhancing its low solubility in water, which makes cellulose more stable in humid environments. In addition, the biocompatibility and biodegradability of cellulose are also important features, which makes its impact on the ecological environment relatively small.
