Description
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a versatile, water-soluble polymer widely recognized for its exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties. As a biocompatible and non-toxic excipient, HEC is ideal for formulating various oral, topical, and ophthalmic medications. In liquid dosage forms like suspensions and emulsions, it controls viscosity, preventing sedimentation of active ingredients and ensuring uniform dosing. Its film-forming ability makes it suitable for tablet coatings, providing controlled drug release profiles while protecting the core from moisture and external factors. Additionally, in transdermal patches and ophthalmic gels, HEC enhances the adhesion and retention of formulations, improving therapeutic efficacy. Rigorously tested to meet the highest pharmacopeial standards, our pharmaceutical-grade HEC offers excellent compatibility with other excipients and APIs, enabling seamless integration into complex pharmaceutical formulations. Trusted by manufacturers globally, it ensures the development of stable, high-quality medications with consistent performance.
