FAQs:
What are the key solubility characteristics of this Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC)?
This HPC instantly dissolves in cold water and polar organic solvents such as ethanol, but it is insoluble in ether. Its aqueous solution forms a precipitate when heated to 40-45°C due to a cloud point.
How does HPC function as a binder and film-coating material in pharmaceuticals?
As a binder, HPC improves particle flowability, compressibility, and tablet hardness while ensuring disintegration. For film coating, it creates a smooth, wear-resistant layer that masks odors, protects against moisture and light, and controls drug release.
