Technical Information
Common questions about HPMC and our Pharcocel range
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
