Time and money – we know what’s on the industry’s mind
At Dow Wolff Cellulosics, we understand the importance of the granulation process. With our foam binder and granulation technology, companies can achieve faster, simpler, more reproducible and less costly wet granulation processing, compared with conventional spray processing technology.
We’ve created foam binder and granulation technology to accomplish the critical goal of maximizing the surface area to ensure even distribution of the liquid or liquid/binder throughout a moving powder bed. Our foam binder and granulation technology greatly improves binder distribution in the formulation mix.
Faster, simpler and more cost-effective
METHOCEL™ Premium and ETHOCEL™ Premium excipients are extremely versatile in wet granulation formulations as they can be used in aqueous, hydroalcoholic or non-aqueous solvent systems.
As a binder, METHOCEL™ Premium reduces the required compression force, an important factor in reducing wear and extending the life of tooling and compression equipment. And ETHOCEL™ resins are used widely for extrusion granulation because of the thermoplastic nature of ethylcellulose.
Conventional Wet Granulation
- METHOCEL™ Premium excipients are widely used with many conventional wet granulation technologies
- Fluid bed, high-shear, low-shear and roller compaction processing
- Low concentrations minimize tablet size
- Expands your ability to use excipients to control other tablet characteristics
Solvent-based Granulation
- Premium grade ETHOCEL™ excipients are often used for solvent granulation of water-sensitive materials
- Makes tablets strong but easily dissolvable
- Can be used to extend or modify dissolution times
