HPMC price and viscosity 50000~150000 Related?

Abstract: hpmc is a very necessary additive in tile adhesive, grout, dry mortar, putty powder and other applications to achieve water retention, thickening, lubrication. I often receive letters from customers discussing the price of hpmc, and one of them, a Saudi customer, asked me if there is any relationship between the price of hpmc and viscosity. Let's discuss it.

Definition of HPMC viscosity

HPMC viscosity refers to the size of the viscosity of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose under specific conditions, and is usually used to describe the degree of consistency of HPMC in the liquid state. Specifically, a high HPMC viscosity indicates a strong viscosity in the liquid state, and vice versa for a thinner one. Different HPMC viscosities correspond to different application scenarios and specific needs, and need to be selected according to the specific use.

According to NDJ viscosity classification: 100000, 150000, 200000, 50000, 75000 and other viscosity.

The international common viscometer is: Brookfield.

In this way we briefly reacquaint ourselves with the viscosity of HPMC, which can help us better discuss its price.

Is HPMC viscosity related to price?

The viscosity of HPMC is an important factor in its price. Generally speaking, the higher the viscosity of HPMC, the higher its price. This is because higher viscosity HPMCs require higher process requirements and more complex production processes, resulting in higher costs. For example, 400 viscosity HPMC is usually used in gypsum self-levelling products, but its price is $1,000 per tonne more expensive than ordinary products.

In addition, the viscosity of HPMC also affects its use; CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) is suitable for low viscosity applications, while HPMC is suitable for higher viscosity applications. Therefore, when choosing HPMC, you need to select the appropriate viscosity grade for your specific needs.

What is the price of hpmc from MELACOLL?

MELACOLL uses refined cotton as its raw material, and its thickening property is twice that of ordinary products. Its original intention of designing high viscosity products is to save customer's cost, when the viscosity is high, the dosage does not need to be too big, saving customer's cost.

MELACOLL has always been providing customers with high quality products, and it's already quite not easy to keep the price always at a low level, want more detailed price, please contact our customer service, we will sincerely serve you.

As you can see, the price of hpmc is really related to the viscosity, the choice of which viscosity depends on which areas you apply hpmc to, which is important, after all, if we are asked to choose for you, we also need to know your industry, in order to select the most suitable products for you.
