Ashland Klucel HF Hydroxypropyl Cellulose

Ashland Klucel HF Hydroxypropyl Cellulose is a high-purity, low-viscosity pharmaceutical-grade HPC polymer. Designed for rapid dissolution and excellent film-forming capability, it enhances tablet disintegration, sustained release, and binder functionality. Widely used in oral solid dosage forms, topical gels, and injectables due to its water solubility, non-ionic nature, and regulatory compliance (USP/NF, EP, JP).
