Description

With their varying molecular weights and chemical substitutions, METHOCEL™ excipients have the breadth necessary to achieve desired drug release profiles.

METHOCEL™ Premium Controlled Release (CR) cellulose ethers are specially designed to tightly control the polymer attributes which contribute to drug release rates thereby providing unparalleled consistency and robustness.

 

METHOCEL™ is Pharma Solutions’ premium family of water-soluble cellulose ethers for pharmaceutical innovation.

Unlike other water-soluble polymers, METHOCEL™ delivers multiple stand-out benefits, versatile properties and superior flexibility; including varying grades of methylcellulose (MC) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) polymers. Our cellulose ethers are suitable for a number of pharmaceutical formulations – including those requiring controlled-release, granulation binders, tablet coating, drug layering, capsule shell formers and rheology-modifiers for solutions and suspension. The portfolio is backed by 70+ years of continuous production globally and deep polymer expertise.

 

Product benefits:

  • Successfully used for 70+ years
  • Multi-functional application
  • Rate-modifying hydrogel former with robust modified release performance
  • Excellent rheology-modifier, binder, film-former and water-retention agent
  • Highly soluble in cold water
