KimaCell®HPMC K15 LV Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, also known as cellulose hydroxypropyl methyl ether, is prepared from cellulose through etherification, and part of the glucose molecules in the cellulose skeleton are covered with methyl Oxygen and hydroxypropoxyl substitution. HPMC is a semi-synthetic natural organic polymer compound. Based on the research on the existing HPMC synthesis method, the method of nitrogen protection alkalization and step-by-step etherification is used to obtain HPMC with high viscosity. The preparation of HPMC is mainly obtained by reacting a mixed etherifying agent of methyl chloride and propylene oxide with alkali cellulose.
HPMC has a three-dimensional space network structure, has strong mechanical properties and carrying capacity, has a large number of hydroxyl groups in the molecule, can form hydrogen bonds with water, and has good water solubility. At the same time, HPMC is non-toxic, has good biodegradability and biological Compatibility, can be used in multiple directions in the pharmaceutical industry.
