Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (L-HPC LH-11, LH-21, LH-22)
Water-insoluble swellable cellulose superdisintegrant & dry binder
Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (L-HPC LH-11, LH-21, LH-22) is a water-insoluble swellable superdisintegrant and dry binder for direct compression.
infoProduct Description
Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (L-HPC) LH-11, LH-21, and LH-22 is a pharmaceutical-grade, partially substituted cellulose ether. Unlike conventional HPC, L-HPC is insoluble in water but rapidly swells upon contact with aqueous media, making it an outstanding tablet disintegrant and dry binder.
