Product Description
Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) 5 cPs is a versatile, water-soluble polymer widely used in pharmaceuticals, research, and industrial applications. This high-quality grade from CDH offers consistent viscosity and excellent performance in various formulations.
Whether you’re working on drug delivery systems, coatings, or research projects, this HPMC grade provides reliable thickening, binding, and film-forming properties. Its 5 cPs viscosity makes it ideal for applications requiring moderate thickness without compromising flow characteristics.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of quality materials for your research and development needs. That’s why we source our HPMC from trusted manufacturers to ensure you get consistent results every time.

Key Applications
This HPMC grade finds extensive use in:
Pharmaceutical formulations as a binder and controlled-release agent
Ophthalmic solutions and eye drops
Food industry as a thickener and stabilizer
Construction chemicals for tile adhesives and cement modifiers
Research applications requiring precise viscosity control
Why This Grade Stands Out
The 5 cPs viscosity grade offers several advantages:
Optimal balance between thickness and flow properties
Excellent water retention in various formulations
Thermal gelation properties useful in controlled release applications
Compatibility with a wide range of other excipients
For researchers and formulators, this means more predictable results and easier process optimization. The CDH quality ensures batch-to-batch consistency, which is crucial for reproducible research outcomes.
Safety and Handling
While HPMC is generally considered safe, proper handling is recommended:
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture
Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling
Avoid inhalation of powder to prevent respiratory irritation
Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete handling instructions and safety information.
Choosing the Right HPMC Grade
With various viscosity grades available, selecting the right one depends on your specific application:
Lower viscosity grades (like 5 cPs) work well for solutions requiring good flow
Higher viscosity grades are better for gels and thicker formulations
Consider your end product’s requirements when making your selection
