{"product_id":"hpmc-headcel-60hd-e15","title":"HPMC Headcel 60HD E15 – Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose","description":"\u003cp\u003eHPMC Headcel 60HD E15 is a premium-grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose — a cellulose-derived polymer that has earned its place as one of the most trusted multifunctional ingredients across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and construction. White, odorless, and free-flowing, it dissolves readily in cold water to form a smooth, viscous solution that transforms the texture and stability of any formulation it enters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 60HD designation reflects its higher density and viscosity performance, while the E15 grade classification defines its specific viscosity behavior and particle characteristics — making it a precise, reliable choice for formulators who need consistent, repeatable results batch after batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffective Thickener\u003c\/strong\u003e – delivers excellent viscosity control across a wide range of formulation types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater-Soluble\u003c\/strong\u003e – disperses and hydrates readily in cold water without clumping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStabilizer\u003c\/strong\u003e – improves formulation consistency and prevents ingredient separation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilm-Forming Agent\u003c\/strong\u003e – creates smooth, uniform coatings in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Industry Versatility\u003c\/strong\u003e – equally at home in skincare, tablet manufacturing, and construction materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCosmetics \u0026amp; Personal Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreams, lotions \u0026amp; moisturizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGels \u0026amp; serums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaircare products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePharmaceuticals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTablet binder \u0026amp; film coating agent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled-release formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOphthalmic solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCement-based products \u0026amp; tile adhesives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMortars \u0026amp; plasters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry-mix construction formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHPMC hydrates in water to form a viscous, stable colloidal solution. This solution thickens the formulation, improves texture and spreadability, enhances suspension stability, and — at higher concentrations — forms a protective film. Its thermal gelation behavior (gelling on heating, dissolving on cooling) also makes it uniquely useful in specialized pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI \/ Chemical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Headcel 60HD E15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e White to off-white free-flowing powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Odorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-soluble (cold water dispersible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thickener, binder, stabilizer, film former\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormulation Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisperse in hot water first, then cool to allow full hydration — or use the cold-water dispersion method by pre-mixing with a water-miscible solvent before adding water. Avoid adding directly to cold water without pre-dispersion to prevent clumping. Compatible with most cosmetic and pharmaceutical actives. Always test viscosity at your target use level before scaling up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Herbology","offers":[{"title":"50gm","offer_id":53262532116664,"sku":null,"price":231.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100gm","offer_id":53262532149432,"sku":null,"price":451.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250gm","offer_id":53262532182200,"sku":null,"price":1067.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500gm","offer_id":53262532214968,"sku":null,"price":1980.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg","offer_id":53262532247736,"sku":null,"price":3960.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/1698\/5784\/files\/hpmc-headcel-60hd-e15.png?v=1775469731","url":"https:\/\/herbology.pk\/products\/hpmc-headcel-60hd-e15","provider":"Herbology","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
