NEW! Benecel™ XRF HPMC

Benecel™ XRF HPMC is the latest addition to the benecel™ HPMC controlled release family. The XRF products are fine particle grades designed for optimal performance in large-scale, high speed tableting.

applications

wet granulation or direct compression
multilayer tablets

key features and benefits

consistent particle size distribution and bulk density: consistent content uniformity and low tablet weight variability
formulations exhibit lower strain rate sensitivity enabling high throughput/ high tablet press speeds
superior interfacial bonding strength and layer strength produces robust multilayer controlled-release tablets
available at three viscosity levels providing a wide range of dissolution profiles

grade

K4M: 2,700 – 5,400 2% viscosity (mPas)
K15M: 13,500 – 25,200 2% viscosity (mPas)
K100M: 75,000 – 140,000 2% viscosity (mPas)

¹ Benecel™ XR and XRF are HPMC products with optimized polymer structure and particle morphology that enable the formulation of safe, effective, and robust oral solid controlled-release dosage forms.
