Hydroxypropyl Starch Ether (HPS) Functions

Thickening Effect

Enhances viscosity for better texture and product stability.

Emulsion Stabilization

Prevents oil–water separation and extends shelf life.

Film-Forming Capability

Creates protective films, improves texture, and controls active ingredient release.

High Solubility

Dissolves easily in water-based formulations for smooth blending.

Water Retention

Locks in moisture to protect skin in cosmetics and maintain freshness in food.

HPS in Applications

Detergents

Paints and Coatings

Food

Detergents

HPS acts as a moisturizer and thickener that enhances spreadability, stabilizes formulations, imparts a smooth texture to mixtures, improves product consistency, aids in water retention, adds viscosity, and elevates the sensory experience in the detergents.

Paints and Coatings

It is less frequent, however HPS can be used to increase texture and stop leaking in some low-viscosity paints and coatings.

Food

As a stabilizing agent, HPS can enhance texture and avoid phase separation.
Without lumping, it can reach the appropriate thickness and consistency.
HPS can improve freshness in baking by acting as a binder and moisture-retaining agent.
