Description
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose SH-E50 is a high-viscosity cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose. It hydrates in cold water to thick, clear solutions with excellent water retention, making it a powerful thickener, binder and protective film former. In pharmaceutical and personal care formulations it builds viscosity that stabilizes suspensions, improves adhesion of topical films and gives gels their body without sticky residues. Its non-ionic, plant-derived chemistry keeps it compatible with ionic actives, preservatives and surfactants, and its thermal gelation adds processing versatility. Compliant with USP requirements and produced with tight viscosity and impurity controls, it is a dependable polymer for thickening, stabilizing and film-forming applications worldwide. Consistent hydration behavior also simplifies large-batch manufacturing. It is packed in 25 kg fiber drums. Its strong water retention also keeps topical films hydrated on the skin for extended comfort. In practice its viscosity builds stable gels and creamy emulsions at modest concentrations, and its water retention keeps topical films hydrated. It also suspends actives in liquid medicines without settling during storage. Every batch is released against a full quality panel covering appearance, purity, heavy metals and microbiology, so each shipment arrives with documented conformity and traceable batch records. How SH-E50 works: the high viscosity of this grade builds thick, stable structures at modest concentrations, and its strong water retention keeps films and gels hydrated. In liquids it stabilizes suspensions against settling and gives lotions their rich, spreadable body; in films it adheres and retains moisture for extended comfort. Practical guidance: thicken gels, lotions and ophthalmic preparations; stabilize suspensions in liquid medicines; use it as a protective film former; and apply it as a binder where strong solution viscosity aids granulation. Quality assurance: produced under USP requirements with viscosity, methoxy and hydroxypropoxy content and microbial limits tested per batch, documented for regulatory files. Packed in 25 kg fiber drums. For personal care and liquid dosage manufacturers, SH-E50 delivers rich texture and stability from a single plant-derived polymer. Specification highlights: it is packed in 25kg/drum with a minimum order quantity of 1000kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Quality system overview: production follows the food-grade or pharmacopeia standards listed in the specification, with defined raw-material sourcing, in-process checks and final release testing on every batch. Purity, heavy-metal and microbiological results are documented, and the complete dossier - specification, certificate of analysis and batch records - is available to support buyer audits and regulatory dossiers. Original packaging is maintained through storage and shipping to protect the product, and shelf life is stated on the specification. Buyers qualify once and rely on the same documented quality for every subsequent order.
Applications
It thickens and stabilizes gels, lotions, creams and ophthalmic preparations in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Suspensions and liquid medicines use it to prevent settling and improve pour characteristics. It serves as a binder in granulation and as a protective film former in coatings, and food applications use it in sauces, dressings and plant-based products for texture and water binding.
Advantages
The high viscosity of E50 delivers strong thickening and water retention at modest use levels, giving products rich, stable texture without excessive polymer loading. Its thermal gelation and good adhesion make it ideal for topical films and protective coatings. USP compliance, tight viscosity control and dependable supply keep viscosity and stability consistent for sensitive liquid and semi-solid formulations.
