Description

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose SH-E15 is a medium-viscosity cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose. Its intermediate molecular weight gives formulators a balanced tool: solutions are viscous enough to bind and suspend, yet still spray and dry well during coating. It dissolves in cold water to clear, smooth solutions and forms films with good flexibility and adhesion. In pharmaceutical manufacturing it serves as a granulation binder, a protective tablet film former and a stabilizer that keeps insoluble actives evenly suspended. Its non-ionic, plant-based character ensures compatibility across a wide range of drug molecules and excipients. Compliant with USP requirements with strict viscosity control, it is a versatile, dependable polymer for both solid and liquid dosage forms. Its solubility profile also allows direct incorporation into cold-processed liquids. It is packed in 25 kg fiber drums. Its flexible films also resist cracking on tablet edges, a common coating defect with stiffer polymers. In practice it is used at higher solids in coating solutions to shorten processing time, and as a binder it strengthens granules without retarding disintegration. Its suspensions also remain uniform through the labeled shelf life. Consistent batch-to-batch quality is maintained through defined raw-material sourcing and in-process control, protecting formula stability for industrial buyers. How SH-E15 works: the medium viscosity of this grade balances the two demands of coating and binding - solutions are viscous enough to suspend pigments and bind granules, yet thin enough to spray and dry efficiently. Its films are flexible and adherent, resisting edge-cracking during handling and packaging. Practical guidance: coat tablets at higher solids for shorter processing times; use it as a granulation binder that strengthens tablets without retarding disintegration; stabilize suspensions of insoluble actives; and apply it in nutraceutical film coatings. Quality assurance: produced under USP requirements with viscosity, methoxy and hydroxypropoxy content, pH and microbial limits tested per batch, documented for regulatory files. Packed in 25 kg fiber drums. For manufacturers who want one polymer to cover granulation, coating and suspension tasks, SH-E15 is the versatile middle ground. Specification highlights: it is packed in 25kg/drum with a minimum order quantity of 1000kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Documented quality from batch to batch: every production lot is verified against the full specification - identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology - before release, and the resulting certificates and batch records travel with each shipment to support qualification and audit. Raw materials are sourced to defined standards, storage follows the conditions stated in the specification, and the product ships in its original, intact packaging. Shelf life and storage requirements are clearly documented, so purchasing, warehouse and quality teams all work from the same reference. This repeatable quality system is what makes the grade dependable for multi-year supply agreements.

Applications

It is used as a binder in wet granulation, improving tablet hardness without slowing disintegration. Tablet coating uses it where higher-solids spray solutions and flexible films are wanted. In suspensions and liquid medicines it keeps actives evenly dispersed, and nutraceutical applications use it in film coatings and vegetarian-friendly formulations. Food uses include edible films and texture stabilization.

Advantages

The medium-viscosity E15 grade sits in the sweet spot: strong enough to bind and suspend, thin enough to spray and dry efficiently, so one material covers granulation, coating and suspension tasks. Its consistent viscosity and film flexibility reduce coating defects and batch variation. USP compliance and dependable supply make it a practical, multi-role polymer for flexible manufacturing operations.
