Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether derived from cellulose. It serves as a versatile thickener, film-former, binder, and stabilizer in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and industrial applications. Known for its excellent solubility in both water and certain organic solvents, HPC provides good mechanical strength and moisture retention, making it ideal for controlled-release formulations and personal care products.
Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a non-toxic, non-irritating, and biodegradable cellulose derivative widely recognized as safe for use in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and construction applications. It poses minimal risk of sensitization or allergic reactions when handled properly.
HPC is valued for its water solubility, excellent film-forming ability, and thermoplastic properties. It acts as a thickener, binder, emulsifier, and controlled-release agent, making it highly versatile in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and specialty industrial applications. Its biocompatibility and non-ionic nature ensure broad compatibility and safety.
Salius Pharma manufactures HPC under strict GMP and ISO 9001:2015 standards. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control including viscosity testing, purity analysis, and microbial limits. Full traceability and compliance with USP, EP, and JP monographs guarantee consistency and regulatory acceptance worldwide.
Salius Pharma offers a broad range of HPC viscosities and substitution levels tailored to the intended application—whether for fast-dissolving tablets, topical gels, or film coatings. Custom packaging sizes and formulations can also be developed in collaboration with clients to optimize performance and processing.
HPC should be stored in cool, dry conditions to prevent moisture absorption and caking. During use, it is best to disperse slowly into water with agitation to avoid lump formation. Protective equipment is recommended to minimize inhalation of fine powder, and dust control measures should be implemented in processing areas.
Salius Pharma supplies HPC in 25 kg moisture-resistant paper bags or fiber drums with inner liners to protect against humidity and contamination. For larger volumes, customized bulk packaging and container shipments are available, ensuring compliance with international transport regulations and maintaining product integrity during transit.
Salius Pharma is recognized as a premium HPC exporter alongside major players like China RuiTai Cellulose Co. and Philippines-based suppliers. Known for its pharmaceutical-grade quality, regulatory documentation, and customer-focused service, Salius offers reliable supply chains and competitive advantages in emerging and established markets globally.
At Salius Pharma, we deliver more than just an excipient — we deliver confidence, compliance, and quality. Every shipment is thoughtfully prepared to meet international regulatory standards and your exact specifications.
