Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose - HPMC

Chemically-modified cellulose, a polymer in nature, in order to achieve specific viscosities and functionalities. HPMC is used for its binding, shape-retaining, barrier-forming, film-forming, foam and emulsion stabilizing properties. Cold soluble. Upon heating, forms thermo-reversible gels (i.e. returning to liquid upon cooling.
