Overview of HPMC
Hinweis: Cellulose ist eigentlich eine unverdauliche Pflanzenfaser und Hauptbestandteil pflanzlicher Zellwände, die aus Ketten von mehreren hundert bis zehntausend Glucosemolekülen besteht. Allerdings ist die enthaltene Glucose für den Menschen nicht verwertbar und somit unverdaulich.


HPMC has the unique ability to retain water, making it an ideal additive in cement-based mortars and plasters. It prevents rapid water evaporation, allowing sufficient time for proper hydration of cement particles and enhancing the overall strength and durability of the construction materials.

HPMC gels are commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as matrices for controlled release drug delivery. Its ability to form a gel-like matrix helps sustain drug release over time, thereby prolonging therapeutic effects.
