benecel™ hypromellose (HPMC)

Hypromellose is well known for its controlled-release properties. Ashland offers a variety of grades of Benecel HPMC to enable modified release for most manufacturing technologies, whether you’re using direct compression, granulation or hot-melt extrusion.

Benecel HPMC DC is available in a variety of molecular weights to enable direct compression of controlled release matrix formulations.

Our custom intermediate molecular weight grades allow you to tailor a release profile to your specific active pharmaceutical ingredient.

We have recently introduced Benecel K100M Pharm XR HPMC, which has been optimized for bulk density and particle size distribution to improve powder flow.
