HPC Hydroxypropyl Cellulose from China Suppliers and Factory - Low & High Substituted Grades for Pharmaceuticals

• Our hydroxyalkyl cellulose ether is a non-ionic compound derived from cellulose through a series of processes including alkalization, etherification, neutralization, and washing.

,

• Available in two varieties: low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose (L-HPC) and high substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose (H-HPC), both of which are sourced from a leading factory in China.

,

• L-HPC primarily serves as an effective tablet disintegrator and binder, making it an essential ingredient for pharmaceutical formulations.

,

• H-HPC is widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a binder, film coating material, and thickening agent for elixirs, providing versatility and performance in various applications. Choose us as your trusted suppliers for high-quality hydroxyalkyl cellulose ethers from a reliable China factory.

    Product Introduction

    Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (Hydroxypropyl cellulose) is a non-ionic cellulose ether that appears as a white or white-like powder.

    Product Characteristics

    • Excellent water solubility: It can be quickly dissolved in cold water to form a transparent and stable solution.
    • Good thermal stability: It can still maintain its stable performance at higher temperatures.
    • Surface activity: Has a certain surface activity, can improve the interface performance.
    • Good film formation: The film formed is tough, transparent and has good air permeability.
    • Wide compatibility: Compatible with a variety of organic and inorganic compounds.

    Product Use

    Pharmaceutical Industry

    As an adhesive and film coating material for tablets, it can also be used to manufacture slow-release preparations. For example, in some sustained-release tablets, the release speed of the drug is controlled to improve the efficacy.

    Cosmetics

    Used in lotions, creams and other products to increase consistency and stability.

    Food Industry

    As a thickening agent, emulsifier and stabilizer, improve the texture and taste of food. As in ice cream, to make it more delicate and smooth.

    Building Materials

    Can improve the adhesion and construction performance of mortar, putty, etc.

    Production Process

    It is usually made from cellulose and propylene oxide by etherification under alkaline conditions.

    Market Prospects

    With the rising demand for high-quality raw materials in various industries, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose has a promising market. Driven by strict standards in the pharmaceutical sector and innovative developments in the cosmetics and food industries, its market demand continues to grow.

    Use Precautions

    • Storage should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated environment, avoid moisture and high temperature.
    • When dissolved, it should be gradually added and stirred to ensure full dissolution and avoid agglomeration.
    • According to different application scenarios and formulations, reasonable adjustment of the addition amount to achieve the best effect.

    In short, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose plays an important role in many fields due to its excellent properties, providing strong support for the quality improvement and performance optimization of related products.
