soluble in polar organic solvents, in water at room temperature.soluble in water, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol and other organic solvents.

Hydroxypropyl cellulose powder is a stable material, although it is hygroscopic after drying.
Aqueous solutions of hydroxypropyl cellulose are stable at pH 6.0–8.0, with the viscosity of solutions being relatively unaffected. However, at low pH aqueous solutions may undergo acid hydrolysis, resulting in chain scission and hence a decrease in solution viscosity. The rate of hydrolysis increases with increasing temperature and hydrogen ion concentration. At high pH, alkalicatalyzed oxidation
