Shijiazhuang Qingquan Cellulose Co., Ltd.is a China-based manufacturer of HPMC, PVA, CMC, MHEC, and HEC. HPMC is one of our flagship products; renowned for its exceptional quality and reasonable pricing, it serves as an effective thickening and water-retention agent in the construction industry and is highly favored by customers worldwide.

When HPMC products are added directly to water, they tend to agglomerate before dissolving; consequently, the dissolution process is slow and difficult. The following three dissolution methods are recommended:
Users may select the most convenient method based on their specific application requirements:

1. Hot Water Method: Since HPMC is insoluble in hot water, it can be uniformly dispersed in hot water during the initial stage and subsequently cooled down to achieve dissolution. Two typical variations of this method are as follows:
1) Add the required amount of hot water to a container and heat it to approximately 70°C. Gradually add the HPMC while stirring slowly; initially, the HPMC will float on the water's surface but will gradually form a slurry. Continue stirring the mixture as it cools down.
2) Add one-third to two-thirds of the required amount of water to a container and heat it to 70°C. Disperse the HPMC into this hot water to form a slurry, following the procedure described in Method 1). Subsequently, add the remaining cold water (or ice water) to the hot slurry, stir the mixture, and allow it to cool.

2. Powder Blending Method: Thoroughly disperse the HPMC powder particles by dry-blending them with an equal or larger quantity of other powdered ingredients. The mixture can then be dissolved by adding water.
Using this method, the HPMC will dissolve without forming lumps.

3. Organic Solvent Wetting Method: Disperse the HPMC in an organic solvent, and then add water; the HPMC will then dissolve smoothly.
