Features Of Ashland Aqualon N7 Pharm Ethyl Cellulose

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

  2. Consistent batch-to-batch performance with tight control over ethoxy substitution (48.0–49.5%) and viscosity (6–9 mPa·s in 5% toluene/ethanol 80/20).

  3. Free-flowing, off-white to light tan granular powder with low moisture content (<5.0%).

  4. Non-ionic, thermoplastic polymer offering excellent film-forming capability and sustained-release functionality.

  5. Compatible with common pharmaceutical excipients and suitable for hot-melt extrusion and fluid-bed coating processes.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Aqualon N7 Pharm Ethyl Cellulose

  1. Sustained-release matrix tablets and multiparticulate systems (e.g., pellets, granules).

  2. Functional film coatings for taste masking, moisture barrier, and controlled drug release.

  3. Binders and rheology modifiers in liquid and semi-solid formulations.

  4. Stabilizer in topical suspensions and emulsions requiring non-ionic, water-insoluble polymers.

  5. Carrier material in hot-melt extruded solid dispersions for poorly soluble APIs.
