Advantages of Using Keyoung HPMC in Your Detergents
Choosing Keyoung HPMC means investing in a multifunctional ingredient that delivers a cascade of benefits, elevating your product from ordinary to outstanding.
HPMC in Detergent
Superior Thickening with Unmatched Suspension
Beyond merely increasing viscosity, our HPMC creates a stable three-dimensional network that effectively suspends insoluble particles like pearlizers, opacifiers, or skin-friendly scrubbing beads. This ensures every bottle delivers a consistent aesthetic and functional experience, preventing settling and guaranteeing ingredient homogeneity.
HPMC in Detergent
Crystal-Clear Transparency and Rapid Dissolution
In a market where aesthetics matter, our HPMC grades are synonymous with clarity. They dissolve quickly to form brilliantly clear solutions, making them the cornerstone of any premium transparent detergent formulation. This preserves your carefully designed color and clarity, allowing the product’s visual appeal to shine through.
HPMC in Detergent
Broad Compatibility for Unconstrained Formulation
We understand that formulators need versatile ingredients. Keyoung’s HPMC is non-ionic, granting it excellent compatibility with a wide array of other raw materials. It remains stable and effective across a broad pH spectrum, providing a reliable foundation for everything from a mild, acidic body wash to a powerful, alkaline household cleaner.

FAQs
What is the primary function of HPMC in detergents?
HPMC serves as a multi-functional additive. Its primary roles are to thicken the formulation to a desired consistency, stabilize the mixture to prevent ingredient separation, and enhance foam quality for a better user experience. It is an essential ingredient for creating premium, stable detergent products.
Can I use Keyoung's HPMC in a transparent shampoo?
Absolutely. Keyoung’s HPMC grades, especially U-6F70 and U-6H70, are renowned for their high solution clarity. They dissolve to form transparent gels, making them an ideal choice for clear shampoos, liquid soaps, and other transparent detergent formulations where visual appeal is critical.
Is your HPMC stable in anionic surfactant systems (e.g., with SLES)?
Yes, specifically our U-6H70 and U-6H75 grades are engineered for excellent compatibility and performance in anionic surfactant systems, including those containing Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). They maintain stable viscosity and clarity without breaking down.
What is the typical dosage of HPMC in a liquid detergent?
The typical dosage ranges from 0.1% to 0.5% of the total formula weight, depending on the target viscosity, the specific surfactant system, and the HPMC grade used. We recommend starting with a lower percentage and scaling up through lab testing to achieve your perfect consistency.
