Klucel HF, HXF Pharm

Description

It is a linear, random, water-soluble copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate that combines a unique set of properties for application in a wide variety of dosage forms. Reduced hygroscopicity makes it useful in moisture-sensitive formulation.

klucel™ hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) is a nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether with a remarkable combination of properties. klucel™ hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) provides a remarkable set of physical properties for tablet binding, modified release, film coating, and hot melt extrusion. It combines organic solvent solubility, thermoplasticity and surface activity with the aqueous thickening and stabilizing properties characteristic of other water-soluble cellulose polymers available from Ashland. klucel™ HPC films are flexible without plasticizers and non-tacky at high humidity.

klucel™ EXF Ultra HPC is an ultra-fine tablet binder that assures formulation predictability, reliability and robustness. klucel™ EXF Ultra HPC provides enhanced tablet strength and low friability with the most difficult to compress active pharmaceutical ingredients even at low usage levels.

applications:
o direct compression
o dry granulation
o with poorly compressible APIs
