Description

The wide variety of viscosity grades of METHOCEL™ Premium helps formulators achieve a broad spectrum of solution viscosities with little risk of drug-polymer interactions expected.

METHOCEL™ Premium can be used as a thickening agent to help prevent or minimize suspension settling without altering taste or mouth feel.

 

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
