Description

METHOCEL™ DC2 grades have optimized particle morphology to improve powder flow properties and enable
simple blend and compress operations.

  • Saves time and money by eliminating the wet granulation process, which can save as much as 60% of manufacturing costs, reduce overall waste, and shorten development time
  • Greater reproducibility in tablet properties, such as weight uniformity, hardness and content uniformity
  • Dramatically improved flow properties
  • Excellent processability in dry powder techniques, such as direct compression and roller compaction, thus eliminating the need for wet granulation
  • Better formulation option for heat- and moisture-sensitive APIs

 

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
  • Reverse-thermo gelation properties
  • Reverts to liquid form upon cooling
