ETHOCELâ„¢ Premium Ethylcellulose Resins

ETHOCELâ„¢ Premium Ethylcellulose Resins
Product Description

An excellent choice for modified release

ETHOCELâ„¢ premium ethylcellulose resins are water-insoluble polymers. They are soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, beginning with aliphatic alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol, and are compatible with most other familiar organic solvent chemistries, including ether alcohols, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons and many more.

Beyond barrier membrane coatingsAs a water insoluble film-forming material, ETHOCELâ„¢ polymers are useful for taste masking pharmaceutical active ingredients in addition to forming controlled release coatings for multiparticulates or providing an additional moisture barrier for water sensitive ingredients.

ETHOCELâ„¢ polymers also have excellent thermoplastic properties and are capable of being melt extruded into various forms. Fine powder (FP) grades of ETHOCELâ„¢ can be compressed to form hydrophilic matrix tablets for oral controlled release with a non-gel forming mechanism which provides an alternative drug release profile as compared to traditional alternatives.
