    In The Food Industry


    1. Canned citrus

    Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) can prevent the albino deterioration caused by the decomposition of citrus glycosides during storage, so as to achieve the effect of freshness preservation.


    2. Frozen food and fruit products

    Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can be added to fruit pulp and ice for a better taste.


    3. Sauce

    Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can be used as an emulsion stabilizer and thickener for sauces and tomato pastes.


    4. Cold water coating and glazing

    It can be used for the storage of frozen fish. It can be coated with MC (methyl cellulose) or HPMC (hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose) solution first, and then frozen on ice to prevent discoloration and deterioration.


    5. Tablet binder

    As a binder for tablets and pills, it has good adhesion and "simultaneous disintegration" performance (it melts quickly when taken, or disintegrates and disperses).


    In Cosmetics


    1. Shampoo

    It can improve the viscosity of shampoo, detergent and cleaning agent and the stability of bubbles.


    2. Toothpaste

    Can improve the fluidity of toothpaste.


    In the Chemical Industry


    1. Polymerization of vinyl chloride and vinylidene

    As a suspension stabilizer and dispersant in polymerization reactions, HPMC can be used together with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) to control the distribution and shape of particles.


    2. Binder

    As a wallpaper adhesive, it can replace starch and is usually used in conjunction with vinyl acetate latex paint.


    3. Pesticides

    Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can be added to insecticides and herbicides to improve the adhesion effect when spraying.


    4. Latex

    Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can improve the emulsion stabilizer of asphalt emulsion and the thickener of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex.


    5. Adhesive

    Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose can be used as a binder for pencil and crayon molding.
