KLUCEL®

Hydroxypropyl Cellulose USP/NF, EP, JP

 

KLUCEL® HPC is non-ionic water-soluble cellulose ether, formed by reaction of cellulose with propylene oxide. KLUCEL provides a remarkable set of physical properties for tablet binding, modified release and film coating. It combines organic solvent or aqueous solubility, thermoplasticity and surface activity with aqueous thickening and stabilizing properties.
