Klucel Xtend

Description

Klucel™ Xtend HPC extended release matrix former is the new product in the Klucel™ line, offering unsurpassed process versatility and release profile efficiency. This step change product has been shown to match the release profile of widely used hypromellose controlled-release formulations with half the polymer concentration. Klucel™ xtend HPC is the only cellulosic excipient that provides a compendial extended release polymer option for hot-melt extrusion (HME).

Features:
o high gel strength
o low melt processing temperature
o process versatility

Benefits:
o consistent release profiles at lower concentrations than hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)
o reduced burst effect in highly soluble APIs
o smaller tablets maximize capacity of plant equipment
o excellent performance in direct compression, wet granulation, dry granulation, and hot melt extrusion
o meets all compendia for HPC
