An excellent choice for a variety of formulation needs
ETHOCEL™ premium ethylcellulose resins are water-insoluble polymers for modified-release matrix tablets and the coating of tablets and multi-particulate dosage forms. Soluble in a broad range of organic solvents and compatible with most organic solvent chemistries, our ETHOCEL™ portfolio is a first choice for a number of pharmaceutical applications. We also offer several viscosity grades with high-purity – making ETHOCEL™ an excellent option for a variety of unique formulation and processing needs. The fine powder (FP) grades can be compressed to form hydrophobic matrix tablets for oral controlled-release with a non-gel forming mechanism.
