Features Of Ashland Aqualon N14 Pharm Ethyl Cellulose

  1. Pharmaceutical-grade ethyl cellulose meeting USP/NF, EP, and JP monograph requirements for excipients.

  2. Controlled ethoxy substitution (44–48% ethoxy content) ensuring consistent film-forming and release-modifying performance.

  3. Low viscosity grade (14 mPa·s in 5% w/w toluene/ethanol 4:1 solution at 25°C) enabling easy processing in coating and granulation operations.

  4. Non-ionic, water-insoluble polymer with excellent organic solvent solubility (e.g., ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane).

  5. Stable under typical pharmaceutical manufacturing conditions and compatible with common APIs and excipients.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Aqualon N14 Pharm Ethyl Cellulose

  1. Sustained-release oral solid dosage forms (e.g., matrix tablets, multiparticulates).

  2. Functional film coatings for controlled drug release and moisture barrier protection.

  3. Binders in wet granulation and dry granulation processes for low-dose or sensitive APIs.

  4. Matrix-forming agent in implantable or biodegradable delivery systems.
