L-HPC

Shin-Etsu invented and pioneered L-HPC (Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose) in the 1970s, and it has grown in popularity worldwide. L-HPC is a dual-functional excipient that acts as a binder and disintegrant for tablets.

Additionally, it acts as a water scavenger to improve stability during storage. It is designed to elevate your tablet’s and capsule’s performance and consistency.

L-HPC Key Benefits

• Water-insolubility allows it to swell in water and function as both a binder and disintegrant.
• A non-ionic polymer.
• Excellent stability, ensuring reliable performance over time.
• Meets regulatory compliance standards.
• Prevents capping during the tableting process, enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
• Simplifies formulation and size reduction processes.
• Various grades are available for selection depending on your unique application.
• L-HPC demonstrates excellent stability, showing a very low equilibrium moisture content compared to other excipients.
