I-HPMC, okanye i-Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, ayisiyonto i-surfactant ngeyona ndlela ingqongqo yegama. I-surfactants ziimolekyuli ezineziphelo ze-hydrophilic (ezithanda amanzi) kunye ne-hydrophobic (i-water-repelling), kwaye zisetyenziselwa ukunciphisa ukuxinezeleka komphezulu phakathi kolwelo olubini olungagungqiyo okanye phakathi kolwelo kunye nesiqina. Ii-surfactants ziqhele ukusetyenziswa kuluhlu olubanzi lwamashishini, kubandakanya iimveliso zokucoca, iimveliso zokhathalelo lomntu, kunye namayeza, phakathi kwabanye.

Kwelinye icala, i-HPMC yipolymer esekwe kwiselulosi esetyenziswa kwizicelo ezahlukeneyo, kubandakanya amayeza, ukutya, kunye neemveliso zokhathalelo lomntu, phakathi kwabanye. I-HPMC iveliswa yi-cellulose yokuguqula imichiza, eyipolima yendalo efumaneka kwizityalo. Ngokukodwa, i-HPMC iveliswa ngokutshintsha amanye amaqela e-hydroxyl kwi-cellulose nokuba ngamaqela e-methyl okanye e-hydroxypropyl. I-polymer ebangelwa yi-soluble yamanzi kwaye ingasetyenziselwa njengento enzima, i-binder, i-emulsifier, kunye ne-stabilizer, phakathi kweminye imisebenzi.

Ngaphandle kokuba ingeyonto yangaphandle, i-HPMC inokubonisa iipropati ezifana ne-surfactant kwizicelo ezithile. Umzekelo, i-HPMC ingasetyenziselwa ukuzinzisa i-emulsions, eyimixube yolwelo ezimbini ezingagungqiyo, ngokwenza umaleko okhuselayo ojikeleze amathontsi olwelo olunye kolunye ulwelo. Lo maleko unokuthintela amathontsi ukuba angadibani kwaye ahlukane nawo wonke umxube. Ngale ndlela, i-HPMC inokusebenza njenge-emulsifier, eluhlobo lwe-surfactant.

Ukongeza, i-HPMC ingasetyenziselwa ukunciphisa uxinzelelo lwamanzi, oluyipropathi ye-surfactants. Umzekelo, i-HPMC ingasetyenziswa njengento yokugquma kwiindawo eziqinileyo ukubenza babe ne-hydrophilic ngakumbi, enokwandisa iimpawu zabo zokumanzisa. Kwesi sicelo, i-HPMC inokunciphisa uxinzelelo lwamanzi kumphezulu ogqunyiweyo, onokuphucula ukuncamathela kolwelo okanye okuqinileyo kumphezulu.

Lilonke, ngelixa i-HPMC ingeyiyo i-surfactant ngeyona ndlela ingqongqo yegama, inokubonisa iipropathi ezifana ne-surfactant kwizicelo ezithile. I-HPMC yipolymer eguquguqukayo enokuthi isetyenziswe kuluhlu olubanzi lwamashishini, kunye neempawu zayo ezizodwa zenza ukuba ibe yinto exabisekileyo kwimiqulu emininzi.
