In the pharmaceutical industry, the selection of excipients is critical for the efficacy, stability, and manufacturability of drug products. Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC), CAS 9004-64-2, has emerged as a highly versatile and reliable excipient, widely utilized by pharmaceutical formulators worldwide. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of high-purity chemicals, we provide HPC that meets stringent pharmaceutical standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

HPC: A Multifunctional Pharmaceutical Excipient

Hydroxypropyl Cellulose is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. Its unique properties, including excellent film-forming, binding, thickening, and gelling capabilities, make it invaluable in a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical applications. It typically presents as a white, free-flowing powder, ensuring ease of handling and uniform dispersion in manufacturing processes.

Key Pharmaceutical Applications:

  • Tablet Binding: HPC acts as an effective binder in tablet formulations. It promotes the cohesion of powder particles, enhancing the mechanical strength and integrity of tablets. This is crucial for ensuring tablets withstand handling and transport without crumbling. Manufacturers rely on our consistent quality HPC to achieve optimal tablet hardness and dissolution profiles.
  • Film Coating: The film-forming property of HPC makes it an excellent candidate for tablet coatings. These coatings can protect the API from environmental factors, mask unpleasant tastes, aid in swallowing, and control drug release. Our HPC provides smooth, uniform films that contribute to the aesthetic appeal and functional performance of coated medications.
  • Controlled Release: By forming a gel matrix upon contact with aqueous environments, HPC can effectively control the release rate of APIs. This is particularly important for extended-release or sustained-release formulations, ensuring a steady therapeutic effect over time. We work with pharmaceutical companies to supply HPC grades suitable for advanced drug delivery systems.
  • Gelling Agent: In semi-solid dosage forms like gels and ointments, HPC serves as a primary gelling agent, providing the desired viscosity and texture. This is also relevant for topical or ophthalmic preparations where a stable, viscous vehicle is required.
