For more than half a century, we have provided leading pharmaceutical companies with multifunctional excipients and technical expertise that improve efficiency, formulation and delivery flexibility, and support cost containment.
Our leading ingredients include:
METHOCEL™ cellulose ethers are water-soluble methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose polymers that offer unmatched flexibility – performing the job of two or more ingredients in many applications and delivering optimum performance at a lower concentration than required by other water-soluble polymers. They enable pharmaceutical developers to create formulas for tablet coatings, granulation, controlled release, improved solubility and controlled viscosity in liquid formulations.
ETHOCEL™ ethylcellulose resins are versatile water-insoluble, film-forming polymers and a natural choice when manufacturers are working with water-sensitive pharmaceutical active ingredients. They can be applied to solvent-based solutions, producing durable, moisture-resistant barrier coatings that enable modified release performance across the physiological pH range.
POLYOX™ water-soluble polymers are non-ionic water-soluble polymers with a high-molecular weight. They exhibit many properties typical of other classes of water-soluble polymers - lubricity, binding, water retention, thickening and film formation. They allow manufacturers to select from many options to control dosage size, matrix release profiles and production methods while maintaining consistent flow properties and tablet performance.
