HOME    EC(Ethyl Cellulose)    Ethyl Cellulose For Pharmaceutical Grade

 

Ethyl Cellulose are recognized and used globally for many different functional purposes in pharmaceutical products.They are frequently used in controlled-release, solid-dosage formulations as well as for protective coatings for water-sensitive or reactive ingredients. They are also useful as granulation binders, as film formers, to improve tablet integrity and appearance,and to mask the taste of bitter active ingredients 

 

What is Ethyl Cellulose functions for different Pharmaceutical Grade?

 

  • Granulation: Ethyl Cellulose is often used for solvent granulation of water-sensitive materials

 

  • Coating: Ethyl Cellulose could be used as solvent-based tablet and bead coatings, they could form strong films with good adhesion.

 

  • Tablet Binding: Ethyl Cellulose powder is used as tablet binders in dry granulation or direct compression formulations.

 

  • Microencapsules: Ethylcellulose works as encapsulation excipients to prepare sustained-release microcapsules to enable sustained release of drug efficacy and prevent some water-soluble drugs from taking effect prematurely


 

 

 

What other application Ethyl Cellulose Could be used for ?

 

  • Paint, coating,printing inks
  • Varnishes/Lacquers
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Food/Feed
  • Personal care
  • Electronics---MLCC(multi-layer ceramic capacitors)
  • Food packing
  • Ceramics
