Saving the industry time and money to focus on life-saving innovations
With our family of polymers, manufacturers can enjoy the benefits of direct compression, a process that eliminates wet granulation and can reduce waste, shorten develop time and lower manufacturing costs by as much as 30%.
Our Direct Compression (DC) Premium Grade excipients deliver exceptional flow and content uniformity while ensuring consistent Controlled Release drug delivery. METHOCEL™ DC polymers are customized for direct compression of tablets:
- Excellent processing and consistent dissolution profiles without the need for wet granulation
- Improved flow and compressability
- Greater tablet consistency/uniformity
- Multifunctional performance
METHOCEL™ Direct Compression provides:
- Lower manufacturing costs – saves money through the elimination of the wet granulation process
- Shorter development time – direct compression tablet manufacturing is the industry’s preferred choice with quicker scale-up
- Better protection for your heat and moisture sensitive APIs
Along with METHOCEL™ Premium DC grade polymers, we also offer additional excipients to meet any formulation need:
- POLYOX™ Water-Soluble Resins NF: With excellent performance as binders in direct compression systems, POLYOX™ water-soluble resins often provide better flow and compaction properties than other binders. And, their lubricity also assists tableting operations.
- ETHOCEL™: Used as a tablet binder in direct compression tableting, ETHOCEL™ ethylcellulose produces hard tablets with very low friability, without adversely affecting tablet disintegration or dissolution rates.
