Description

Recommended products
Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (6-10Mpa.S 2% In Water At 20Deg C)

Application
Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a gelling and thickening agent derived from cellulose. It is widely used in cosmetics cleaning solutions and other household products. Hydroxyethyl cellulose and methyl cellulose are frequently used with hydrophobic drugs in capsule formulations to improve the drugs dissolution in the gastrointestinal fluids. This process is known as hydrophilization.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.
