Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC K100) – Pharmaceutical Grade
HPMC K100 is an ultra-high viscosity grade of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, widely used in pharmaceutical formulations requiring strong gelation, high-thickening efficiency, and robust controlled-release performance. As a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose derivative from natural cellulose, HPMC K100 offers excellent functionality in matrix tablets, sustained-release systems, and high-viscosity liquid formulations.
With its significantly higher viscosity compared to E4M and other grades, HPMC K100 is ideal for advanced hydrophilic matrix systems and formulations demanding superior gel strength.
