NISSO HPC

Pharmaceutical

Applications

Lower molecular weight/viscosity grades of NISSO HPC can be effectively used for fast dissolving ODT formulations. HPC SSL and HPC SSL-SFP are recommended

Lower molecular weight/viscosity grades of NISSO HPC can be effectively used for ODF formulations. HPC SSL is recommended.

Higher molecular weight/viscosity grades of NISSO HPC can be used for controlled release hydrophilic matrix tablets. Typical addition rate between 20-30% for effective delayed release of active ingredients are possible. HPC H and VH are recommended.

NISSO HPC is suitable for sterile filtration application because of its high purity and lack of additives such as silica. Filtration efficiency depends on the concentration of HPC, its viscosity as well as the filter used. HPC SSL, SL and L are recommended.
