Frequently Asked Questions

Technical Information

Common questions about HPMC and our Pharcocel range

What is HPMC (Hypromellose)?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), also known as Hypromellose, is a semi-synthetic polymer derived from natural cellulose. It is one of the most versatile pharmaceutical excipients, used for film coating, controlled release, binding, and more.

What are the differences between USP Type 2208 and 2910?

USP Type 2208 (high hydroxypropoxy, low methoxy) is ideal for controlled-release matrices, while Type 2910 (low hydroxypropy, high methoxy) is perfect for film coating and binding. Type 2208 forms stronger gels, while 2910 provides better film formation.

How do I choose the right viscosity grade?

Low viscosity (3-50 cps) is ideal for film coating and spraying. Medium viscosity (100-4000 cps) works for tablet binding. High viscosity (15,000-200,000 cps) is best for controlled-release matrices and sustained drug delivery.

What's the difference between wood pulp and cotton linter sources?

Cotton linter offers inherently higher purity with minimal impurities, ideal for premium applications. Wood pulp is cost-effective with excellent batch consistency, suitable for large-scale production. Both meet pharmaceutical standards.

What documentation do you provide?

We provide complete documentation including Drug Master File (DMF), Certificate of Suitability (CEP), Certificate of Analysis (CoA), method validation data, stability studies, and full regulatory support for filings.

What are the storage and handling requirements?

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. HPMC is hygroscopic and should be protected from humidity. Typical shelf life is 3-5 years when stored properly.

Can you provide method validation data?

Yes, we provide complete analytical method validation including specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, detection limits, and quantitation limits for all critical quality attributes as per USP/ICH guidelines.
