Meet our pharmaceutical excipients
Our excipients are designed to address some of the most pressing pharma trends and health challenges. Offering the most recognizable high-performance excipients in industry, we are the ‘go-to’ providers of functional ingredients to the pharmaceutical market.
METHOCEL™
Our METHOCEL™ Cellulose Ethers are water-soluble polymers derived from cellulose. They enable formulators to create tablet coatings, granulation binders, sustained release matrix systems and controlled viscosity in liquid formulations.
ETHOCEL™
ETHOCEL™ Premium Ethylcellulose Resins are water-insoluble polymers. Their excellent compatibility allows for their use in a broad range of pharmaceutical applications, from controlled-release matrix systems to microencapsulation. They are also useful as non-aqueous granulation binders and for taste-masking.
POLYOX™
Our nonionic poly (ethylene oxide) polymers – POLYOX™ Resins – possess thermoplastic properties, are fast-hydrating and rapidly form hydrogels. Their unique properties make them beneficial in a number of formulations, including osmotic pump technologies, tablet binding mucosal bioadhesive applications.
