Common home care detergents include lavatory cleaner, dish soap, wallpaper cleaner, household polishes, floor cleaner, carpet cleaner, and laundry detergent.
LANDERCOLL Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), a water-soluble and non-ionic polymer derived from cellulose, is widely used in home care detergent formulation as a thickener, stabilizer, and dispersing agent.
By increasing the viscosity of detergents, HPMC helps them remain on the surface to further remove stains and bacteria.
HPMC helps maintain the stability of various ingredients in detergents, preventing them from separating especially during transportation.
Cellulose Ether such as HPMC plays an important role in keeping particles distributed evenly to ensure a consistent result and longer shelf life.
LANDERCOLL HPMC can retain moisture within the detergent or cleanser to prevent premature drying or crumbling.
LANDERCOLL HPMC provides higher clarity and tolerance to pH and salts for your detergent formulas.

As a globally recognized HPMC innovator, LANDERCOLL drives cellulose ether advancement through precision engineering. By cross-analyzing chemical parameters (hydroxypropyl content, viscosity profiles, gelation points) against operational conditions, we deliver HPMC solutions that outperform industry benchmarks while adapting to your unique processing needs.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) enhances detergent formulations primarily through its multifunctional roles as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, and anti-redeposition agent. In liquid detergents, it modulates viscosity, ensuring optimal consistency for application and adherence to surfaces. For powdered detergents, HPMC acts as a binder, preventing caking and improving granule integrity. Its water-soluble yet film-forming properties enable the controlled release of active ingredients in dissolvable tablets or pods, enhancing efficiency. As a stabilizer, HPMC prevents phase separation in liquid formulations and suspends dirt particles to inhibit redeposition onto fabrics or dishes during washing. Its non-ionic nature ensures compatibility with surfactants, enzymes, and other additives across varied pH levels, while its biodegradability aligns with eco-friendly formulations.
When selecting Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) for high sulfuric acid concentrations, prioritize grades with a higher methoxyl substitution and moderate hydroxypropyl substitution, as this enhances acid resistance by reducing solubility and degradation. Opt for higher viscosity grades (e.g., 50,000–100,000 mPa·s) to form protective gels that slow acid penetration, while ensuring thermal stability (gelation temperature >60°C) to withstand potential heat from acid reactions. Coarser particle sizes may improve dissolution control in acidic environments.
