The viscosity of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC is inversely proportional to the temperature, that is, the viscosity increases as the temperature decreases. What we usually say about product viscosity refers to the test result of its 2% aqueous solution at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
In practical application of HPMC, in areas with large temperature difference between summer and winter, it should be noted that it is recommended to use a relatively low viscosity in winter, which is more conducive to construction. Otherwise, the viscosity of cellulose will increase when the temperature is low, and the feel will be heavy when the batch is scraped.
