THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT OF VISCOSITY .... HPMC K15M (15 cps)
HPMC K100M (100000 cps )
k4m (4000 cps )and k15m (15cps) differs in viscosity they are two grades of hpmc polymer by Ajit ajit5_incredible@yahoo.com
viscosity of hpmc k4m was 4000cps.
In the context of HPMC K4M, the "K" typically refers to the viscosity grade of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) polymer. HPMC K4M is a specific type of HPMC with a medium to high viscosity, commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations as a thickening agent, stabilizer, or controlled-release agent. The "4M" indicates a particular molecular weight and viscosity profile, which influences its properties and applications.
cps stands for centipoise.They have different viscosities.
METHOCEL is a well known trademark of The Dow Chemical Company manufacturing cellulose ethers for various industries. Methocel is a trademark for methycellulose whereas HPMC E5 is Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose with very low viscosity of 5 CPS (centipoise) used as rheology modifier as well as water retaining agent for film formation, synthetics adhesives as well as tablet coating. It has excellent water retaining properties. Samsung fine Chemicals, SE Tylose are one of the competitors of The Dow Chemical Company in the global market along with many Chinese companies.
HPMC 15 cps, or Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose with a viscosity of 15 centipoises, is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer commonly used as a thickening agent, binder, or stabilizer in various pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic formulations. Its properties allow it to form gels and films, making it useful in applications like drug delivery systems and personal care products. Additionally, HPMC is often employed in the production of gluten-free products due to its ability to mimic the texture and binding properties of gluten.
The term HPMC can be HydroxyPropyl MethylCellulose is a science term. It is is the category of chemistry. It is a a synthentic compound that is used in eye and oral medications.

If you mean HPMC: Hydoroxypropylmethylcellulose then you need to: 1-heat 100ml of DW (deionized water) to 80-90c 2-weight HPMC grams you need to dissolve(1-5%) 3-added HPMC gradually to about 1/4 of water(25ml) while strong mixing is needed 4-then prepare 3/4 of left water with ice in it 5-then added ice water to solution while mixing and you will end in clear solution of HPMC
Yes, HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) is often referred to by the brand name Methocel. Both terms describe a cellulose derivative used in various applications, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, for its thickening, binding, and film-forming properties. While Methocel specifically refers to a range of HPMC products manufactured by Dow, HPMC itself is a broader term encompassing various grades and formulations from different manufacturers.
E for excellent elephant
K means 1000 as a multiplier of 1000
